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 Flat Encaustic Brushes consist of a custom blend of softer, natural hair that is ideal for working with thinner viscosities of color. The brushes have a unique mid-length handle designed specifically for table-top painting on encaustic surfaces. The flat brush is perfect for creating smooth enamel-like finishes.
