Alpha Silicone Brushes

Explore paints differently with these quality colour shaper tools.  Mark making can be explored differently with acrylic paints, oil paints, fluid acrylics, inks and even oil pastels. These tools are useful for mono printing and other printmaking techniques; decorative plaster techniques; gesso application; to add loose, bold marks in your paintings; or even as an eraser, to scrape paint off while the medium is still wet. Build impasto shapes, create indentations, control edges, apply precise marks and texture. Create effects that aren’t possible with brushes alone!  The Colour Shaper makes application of thicker medium quick and easy. The flexible silicone tip provides a sturdy yet forgiving edge.

These silicone brushes are made from durable, easily cleanable and highly flexible composite silicone rubber. The traditional hardwood handles are topped with Colour Shaper tips in a variety of sizes and the grey colour denotes a firm silicone shaper that gives accurate control.

Cleaning: They are easy to clean –  quickly dip in a solvent, alcohol or soap and water, depending upon the medium you are using.
