Paintbrush Handles
Short handles
Held in the hand like a pencil, and controlled with the hand and wrist
- For details and precision work
- For small surface areas
- For use when seated at a workstation
Long handles
Held like a baton, and controlled with the entire arm, shoulder and body
- For bold, sweeping strokes and expressive works
- For large surface areas
- For use when standing at an easel
- For standing back from the painting surface
Synthetic bristle brushes for watercolour or decorative painting often have short handles for more precision work. They can also be used with acrylic paint for fine detailing. Natural bristle brushes for watercolour painting can also be used for oil painting.
You can also experiment by attaching a paintbrush to the end of a stick and have fun painting with a brush that has an unusually long handle.
