A natural white Chinese bristle brush used for creating stipple finishes when used with glazes. Larger Stippling Brushes are available for working on walls. Small brushes are for furniture, molding, frames and other smaller objects. These brushes come in a variety of shapes including rectangular, square and oval. The Badger Softener is possibly the most essential brush for painting authentic faux and custom decorative finishes.
Many sizes are available.
The stroke is extremely light, almost tickling the surface with the tips of the hair. Use your arm from your elbow to maintain an even stroke over the surface. Avoid a stroke with only your wrist as this tends to be quite irregular, even with the lightest touch. This brush, made from white bristle, is essential for manipulating glazes, overgraining and mottling. This flat ended, stubby handled brush is used in short repetitive downward strokes, keeping the bristles in contact with the surface.
