Trekell Paintbrushes

A paintbrush is the bridge between an idea and a finished piece, making quality materials even more important. A low-quality brush can hinder your artistic expression, while high-quality brushes facilitate a seamless transition onto your canvas. 

At Trekell, we take this philosophy to heart. Our extensive collection of paintbrushes matches various paint types so you can amplify your creativity.

The Importance of Quality in Artist Paintbrushes

For artists and creatives, painting should be a time to relax, regroup and express yourself. High-quality brushes make art effortless, contributing to your masterpiece with the following qualities: 

  • Sturdy bristles: Nothing is more frustrating than having to fish loose bristles from your already-drying paint, leaving inconsistent strokes and nail marks on the canvas. Instead, quality brushes contain durable bristles that stay in place for a smooth finish.
  • Pickup and spreading rate: Brushes should be able to hold any paint, from thicker acrylic to absorbent watercolor. With quality brushes, the pickup and spreading rate is much more efficient as it glides across the canvas.
  • Ergonomic design: Artists spend long hours in the studio, requiring the most comfortable supplies to help them stay productive. Quality paintbrushes will offer tapered handles for a comfortable and sturdy grip — none of the thin plastic business from our elementary school days.
  • Longer life span: With paintbrushes, quality means quantity. Instead of frequently replacing your brushes, keep the same set for years, saving you time and money that you can spend creating.

Our Art-Specific Paintbrushes

At Trekell, we understand the importance of painting with brushes that contribute to your vision, not take away from it. This is why we offer paintbrushes for various art mediums, allowing you to shop in one place for everything you need. Specifically, our brushes come in the following types:

  • Acrylic: Acrylic paint requires synthetic bristles for durability. These brushes hold thicker paint much easier and are less affected by the acrylic content over time. Trekell offers various individual acrylic paintbrushes or sets, from thicker brushes for bold strokes to thin brushes for detail work. 
  • Gouache: Gouache paint is a more opaque water-based paint — much like a crossover between acrylic and watercolor paint. While being water-based, gouache paint works best with synthetic bristles, and our oil or acrylic brushes do the trick.
  • Oil: Like acrylic, oil paint is thicker and requires synthetic bristles. Our oil brushes can help you with proper paint holding and consistent strokes.
  • Watercolor: Watercolor is unique, requiring softer bristles because of its water-based paint. Our watercolor paintbrushes absorb water and paint for every smooth and colorful stroke.
