Magic Brushes and Rollers

Painting brushes are made of animal or synthetic bristles attached to a handle with a metal ferrule. They come in various shapes and sizes, made from different materials. Thinner brushes are used for details, while thicker ones are for filling in larger areas.

History of Painting and Decorating Brushes

Initially, painting brushes were made from animal bristles, and even today, the best and highest quality brushes continue to be made this way. Some of the finest watercolor brushes are made from sable hair.

Sable, also known as marten, is a carnivorous mammal from the weasel family. The tail, from which the brushes are made, can reach up to 19 cm.

To make truly good brushes, however, winters in Siberia and Mongolia need to be harsh, as this makes the sable’s tail denser.

Until the 18th century, the process of making a painting brush was extremely difficult and meticulous, as the bristles were glued to the handle one by one, and training to do this could take up to 8 years.

Today, some brushes are still made this way, but machines have largely taken over the production. In addition to natural materials, synthetic materials such as nylon and polyester are also used.

For making their brushes, the ancient Egyptians used reed with crushed ends.

Brush handles can be wooden or plastic, with wooden handles being preferred by professional artists, while plastic ones are mainly used by hobbyists.

Types of Painting and Decorating Brushes

Painting brushes can be made in various shapes, with each shape providing a different type of stroke depending on the bristles.

• Liner Brush – Liner brushes have very long bristles designed to hold more liquid for drawing long lines.

• Sword Brush – This brush is shaped like a sword, with the tip on the outer side. It creates very interesting effects.

• Reservoir Brush – These brushes are made from two different tufts of bristles that are joined together. They consist of a very long tuft of bristles with a pointed tip in the center and a shorter tuft surrounding it. The surrounding part acts as a reservoir, while the pointed part releases a small amount of paint.

Some reservoir brushes are made from red sable or squirrel hair because they are the most absorbent. With such a brush, any artist can paint longer before dipping it in water or paint again.

• Gussow Brushes – These are flat brushes with a pointed tip, and the length of the bristles is equal to their width. The width and thickness of these brushes can be used depending on the brush strokes that artists want to see while painting. These brushes are named after the Munich artist Gussow.

Benefits of Painting

Painting is a way for children to express their creativity and have fun. It has been scientifically proven that this pleasant and calming creative process helps children express their emotions.

This art form can help children be calmer, more confident, and happier, and not just children but adults as well.

• One of the many benefits that painting brings is reducing stress – painting is very calming for children as it helps them release negative emotions;
• Painting develops critical thinking in children. They learn to evaluate and analyze their own work. This level of thinking helps them in games, school, and life in general.
• Creative thinking is also developed – children who love to paint learn to think openly and creatively approach all life situations.

These were just a few of the many benefits that painting brings to children. Because of these and all other benefits of visual art, it is necessary to encourage children to paint and create.

Tips for Caring and Maintaining Painting Brushes

• After washing the brush, immediately shape and arrange the bristles;
• Let the brush dry naturally, without external heat sources like stoves or hairdryers;
• If you used oil paints, thoroughly clean the brush with a cloth and place it in turpentine, then wash it with soap and water;
• When using acrylic or other water-based paints, it is necessary to wash the paint off immediately after use;
