The Magic of a Warhol’s Wife Filbert Paintbrush

Many contemporary and traditional artists favour the Filbert paintbrush.

Use your Filbert paintbrush Warhol’s Wife with:

• Acrylics
• Adhesives
• Gouache
• Ink
• Mediums
• Oils
• Watercolours

It is a very capable paintbrush if you enjoy watercolour and paint with a more direct and controlled brush stroke. 

What do the Warhol’s Wife Filbert paintbrushes feature?

The Warhol’s Wife Filbert paintbrushes feature an oval-shaped head. Their ferrules are jam-packed with fine, soft hairs that keep their shape and rarely shed. If ever, when appropriately maintained. The secure chrome-plated brass ferrules hold the brush hairs firmly in place. They won’t wiggle or fall apart. 

The synthetic/Taklon bristles have microscopic pockmarks replicating natural porous hair. This gives the brushes the ability to have excellent loading power, whether using acrylics, oils, mediums, or any other type of paint.  

Other sizes in the range 

The Warhol’s Wife Filbert paintbrushes include sizes no. 2, 6, 10, 14, 18 and 24, and if you are already a fan of the Filbert brush, a six-piece set is also available. 

The paintbrushes feature a short lacquered handle, allowing controlled brush strokes and fitting ergonomically in the creators’ hands. 

What exactly is a Filbert paintbrush again, and what does it do?

A Filbert paintbrush is a narrow, flat paintbrush with a rounded point. Use it on its side; a Filbert will give you a thin line. Using it flat will provide you with a broad paintbrush stroke. Or, by varying your hand pressure as you apply the paint or medium to your working surface, you will create a tapering mark.

The unique brush shape of the head will produce smooth, rounded strokes, making them perfect for edging effects. This versatile paintbrush is excellent for quick layouts, detailing, and creating brush stroke lines naturally forming a curved start and finish.     

Creators can use the Filbert paintbrush for a vast array of painting techniques. But it is loved by botanical and landscape artists as its smooth, rounded head can produce a flower or leaf petal with one effortless stroke. 

Suppose you want to create a landscape with depth. Below the horizon line, paint foliage with ease using small Filbert brushes no.2 and 6. These sized paintbrushes are also perfect for painting a detailed still life.  

 Because the Filbert paintbrush combines a round brush and a flat one, it can provide detail like a round brush, but it can cover more space than a round as it also has a flatness.

Hot tip

Load it up and go. But not too much. You want to be able to see the shape of the brush head. Ideally, you don’t want the head to be fattened or overloaded with your medium; otherwise, the shape of the brush can’t do its work for you.
