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 enameled wood handle, giving a long useful life to the brush. RandF Round Encaustic Brushes feature long, closely arranged bristles with a round or pointed tip. Round brushes are perfect for detail, wash, fills and this to thick lines.
