R&F's encaustic brushes meet the unique demands of encaustic painting. These high quality brushes are made from natural hair, rather than synthetic fibers to prevent melting and scorching on heated surfaces. The chrome plated nickel silver ferrules are crimped and glued to an enamel handle, giving a long useful life to the brush. RandF Bright Encaustic Brushes have the same shape as the flat brushes but with shorter bristles extending from the ferrule.
