Which Brushes are best for Painting with Acrylic?
To some extent, this will depend on your style of painting – whether you use your acrylics like oil or more like watercolour – but for the most part, the brush will be a synthetic of either Taklon or Nylon fibres.
Thick or thin acrylic Paint? Your brush choice will depend on your painting style
Taklon is a polyester fibre which is extruded and tapered to a fine point and made in a number of thicknesses. The diameter affects the stiffness or softness of the brush and therefore an individual’s painting style will determine which Taklon is best for them.
Taklon is available in white or gold colours with White Taklon being considered the most pure form and usually displaying qualities superior to dyed Taklon.
Nylon is a smoother fibre so, whilst it can still withstand being used with thick acrylic paint straight out of the tube, it also suits being used with thinned acrylic in more of a watercolour application. A good quality synthetic of either Taklon or Nylon will hold its shape as well and small sizes can achieve a fine point for details.
There are more synthetic ranges than natural hair ranges so it can be quite confusing when first choosing a range that will suit you but really most synthetics will be versatile enough to facilitate most Acrylic painting styles.
Ranges such as the Pro Arte Academy or Polar, the Winsor and Newton University or the Royal Langnickel SVP1 OR SVP7 offer all purpose, low cost synthetic fibre brushes for experimenting with the numerous ways in which acrylic can be applied.
Winsor and Newton’s Galeria range is split into short-handled and long-handled. The short-handled version has a slightly softer filament allowing the artist to apply the acrylic with more of a watercolour technique whilst the long-handled version has a stiffer hair for using the acrylic in more of an oil-painting way.
Pro Arte’s Sterling ranges are also split into short and long handled versions with the short Sterling Acrylix offering great spring and control for detail and the long handled Sterling 201 also offering this whilst being perfectly balanced for standing away from the canvas when working on a larger scale.
Hogs can also be used with undiluted acrylic where the brush marks are required to be visible or simply where you need a brush that is stiff enough to cope with viscous heavy bodied paint or a very rough surface.
Sable, camel, goat and other soft natural hair are not recommended for acrylic as the viscosity can damage the hair. The short drying times of acrylic can also be detrimental to natural hair because the absorbent hair dries even quicker and will not take the vigourous cleaning that is required to remove solidified acrylic.
Synthetic brushes come in a wide variety of brush shapes such as rounds, flats, filberts, fans, riggers, swordliners , combs and deerfoot brushes.

Acrylic brushes
Acrylic is a diverse and popular paint that allows you to express your creativity and unleash your imagination on a canvas. Acrylic paint has been a great alternative to oil paint for many years, as many find acrylics easier to use and control, especially if you’re a beginner. In addition, acrylic paints dry significantly faster than many other paints. But your work won’t amount to much if you don’t have the most important tool – the brush!
The brush you use has a huge impact on your artwork and allows you to achieve different effects and textures. An acrylic brush is specially designed for acrylic paints, which are water-based and quick-drying. With the right brush, you can easily handle the paint and make different kinds of brush strokes. They ensure an outstanding result that takes your artwork to the next level.
At Stellings you can find acrylic brushes from recognized brands such as da Vinci and Escoda . If you’re looking for a slightly cheaper solution, you can always explore our own affordable products .
What kind of brush should I use for acrylic paint?
When using a brush for acrylic paints, it’s important that you find a brush made from synthetic fibers instead of natural materials such as pig or marten hair. Synthetic brushes are flexible and less susceptible to damage by acrylic paint, which has a thick texture and dries quickly. The bristles on an acrylic brush will therefore most often be nylon or polyester. Nylon brushes are versatile and can be used for many different painting techniques, whereas a polyester brush is stiffer and remains rigid even when wet with paint. It’s better for painting precise lines and detailed designs.
In addition, synthetic brushes are also a lot cheaper than natural hair brushes, making them a great choice for beginners and artists on a budget. They are also significantly easier to clean, as acrylic paint can be difficult to remove from marten and pig hair. However, it’s important to note that there is no right or wrong choice when it comes to buying acrylic paint brushes. Your personal preferences and specific painting techniques may require different, specialized brushes. However, it’s always a good idea to have a wide selection of brush sizes and shapes to cover all your art needs. By experimenting with different types of brushes, you can quickly find the ones that best suit your art style and artistic goals.
How do I clean my acrylic brushes?
As soon as you’re done painting, rinse your brushes with lukewarm water. It’s important to make sure there is no residual paint on them. You can massage the bristles under running water to remove any remaining paint. Once you’ve rinsed all the brushes you’ve used, place them in a container with lukewarm water and a mild soap or brush soap. Swirl the brushes in the soapy water, but be careful not to get the iron ring wet as this can loosen the bristles over time. Rinse the brushes one last time before drying them with a clean towel and shaping them.
At Stellings, we know that trying a new art form can be overwhelming. If you’re new to the world of acrylics, you can buy an acrylic painting kit. It’s perfect for beginners, but also for experienced painters who may need more colors. This means you can save money by investing in a starter kit.
