Stipple Brushes

Small stipple brush: Large, medium, and small Pro Hart stipple brushes are a lot to be reckoned with because these hardy hog hair paintbrushes are like no other. You can work Pro Hart stipple brushes with many mediums and techniques and make versatility the name of your game.

Easily add rough, textured spots or irregular blocked lines to an abstract acrylic or oil paint piece. Simply load up your stipple brush and apply your mediums with thick, heavy strokes. The natural fibres of hog hair comprise the brush part of these resourceful artist brushes. They are guaranteed to produce memorable brushstroke retention in your artwork. 

“You can quickly build and create layers and textures in your artwork with finesse.” Australian artist Nicki Comelli

Are you working on abstract foliage in a landscape or blending flesh tones in a portrait? The results you are after depend on the media you use, how you load your brush, and the hand pressure you apply. If you play around with a mix and match of these three criteria, you will only get the same result once. The possibilities are endless when you have a Pro Hart Swagger stipple brush.

Use them to blend paint and stipple out shades and tones to bring a three-dimensional element to the subject you are drawing or painting. Or use them for scumbling techniques.

Hone your scumbling technique

Scumbling is a technique where a colour is worked over another colour, and the top layer of paint is not blocked. It is broken, scratchy, and speckled to reveal the underlayer of colour. You can create scumbling techniques with any media: acrylic, oil or watercolour paint, charcoal, pastel, or anything in the art room. 

Load the Pro Hart Swagger stipple brushes up with paint and mark-make like a pro. Use a lot of media and create thick, lustrous layers or use less media and scruff it around your working surface. These brushes enable you to experiment and see what the result will be.

Work these paintbrushes in a painting, to create mist in a landscape, or to add whitewash to a roaring wave in a pastel seascape. You never have to worry about a heavy-handed touch with the Pro Hart Swagger stipple brushes.

Dry brushing with the Pro Hart Swagger small stipple brushes

Dry brushing is a technique where the media you work with is relatively dry. You can perform this technique on any surface board, canvas or paper. The characteristics of these brush strokes are scratchy and textured. They are not smooth or feathered. 

Hot tip

Dry brush over three or four colours and make each layer translucent to reveal more and more colour underneath. It is a great way to build up a natural three-dimensional element in a piece and will naturally build shade and texture into your artwork.

Stipple brush and everything else

Pro Hart Swagger stipple brushes can manipulate modelling clay and bring a textured element to your work. You can use them with charcoal, graphite, and pastel, as they are an excellent tool for blending dry media. The short handles of these brushes easily fit into the palm of your hand and make controlling the brush head easy. Because of your control when holding these brushes, they are perfect for glues, PVA, rice glue, or Papier-mâché. The natural hog hair bristles are non-absorbent, so there is no wastage of media. Pro Hart Swagger stipple brushes are ideal for kids to use and hold in their tiny hands. If you hope the art love bug will bite your child, hone their fine motor skills and creative urges with the right art equipment.
