Encaustic, Painting |
Ah, the promise of a new brush…
These babies are hake (pronounced HA-kay) brushes and they’re great for encaustic paint. They meet encaustic’s technical requirements (they’re heat resistant with a metal ferrule & natural bristles) while making the most gorgeous, juicy, splooshy marks imaginable.
I buy mine in the sumi-e ink section of my local art store but you can find them online too.

Laura,
Email me your mailing address and I’ll send you the hakes I like that don’t have metal ferrules, so the wax can’t pull out those little screws.
You’ll be there in June, right?
Hylla
