Dynasty Red-Letter Encaustic Brushes

Black Bristle Oval Sash — Use Dynasty's Black Bristle Oval Sash encaustic brushes when you need a springy bristle to pull a large amount of hot wax over 3–D areas, or to work paper into layers of wax. They're great for blending, for exact layering, and for overlapping color.

Flagged bristles in nickel-plated, rustproof ferrules are glued and crimped onto handles made of kiln-dried white birch sealed with a clear coat.

Bristle and Ox Blend — From Dynasty's Work Horse Series, these Bristle and Ox Blend encaustic brushes contain a mixture of hair that is good for holding large amounts of wax at different temperatures and different consistencies, from thin to thick. Great for achieving smooth applications, these brushes also serve as "storage containers" when wax is allowed to dry in the brush fibers — simply reheat the brush to make the wax fluid again.

Angle — Use this brush for sharp edges and squaring of areas.

Flat — Use this brush for filling in color and straight application.

Oval — Use this brush for pulling and for soft edge blending.

Camel Hair Super Mop — Dynasty's Camel Hair Super Mop encaustic brushes are great for blending and smoothing out small areas. They're also ideal for applying powdered pigments — just dust them lightly over hot or tacky wax.

Grainer Flat — Known for a tremendous amount of spring and snap, Dynasty's Series 1862 Bristle Grainer Flats offer great control and the ability to achieve unique patterns in encaustic paintings.

Every brush features a flat handle and a rustproof, nickel-plated steel ferrule with a lock-seam.

Black Bristle — This brush has firm, black bristles.

Gray Bristle — This brush features a blend of soft and firm bristles.

White Bristle — This brush features soft, white bristles.

White Bristle Extra Long Flat — The extra-long length of Dynasty's White Bristle Extra Long Flat encaustic brushes assures a smooth, even flow while achieving definition. They're great for layering wax and paper, for 3–D work, or for applying texture to your work. Use a separate brush for each color range. These brushes feature flat hardwood handles.

White Bristle Scenic Fitch — Dynasty's Scenic Fitch encaustic brush is made of natural Shanghai Bristle taken from the back of the hog, boiled for four hours, and hand-sorted and selected for silkiness, length, strength, and flexibility.

Originally developed for fresco, mural, and theatrical background use, these brushes hold a lot of color and still offer great control — a "must" for encaustic painters.
