Discover the Right Brush for Every Stroke
One of the most common questions we receive at URARTSTUDIO is:
“Which brush should I use?”
While paint and color certainly play an important role, experienced artists know that the brush is what truly shapes the painting. Every brush creates its own unique texture, movement, edge quality, and personality. The same landscape painted with different brushes can produce completely different results.
Over the years, we’ve designed, refined, and tested each brush in our collection through hundreds of original acrylic painting tutorials. Every brush has earned its placeโnot because it looks different, but because it solves a specific artistic challenge.
Whether you’re painting peaceful lakes, crashing ocean waves, colorful flower gardens, majestic mountains, dramatic skies, wildlife, or abstract textures, understanding how each brush behaves will completely transform your painting experience.
Let’s explore every brush currently available in the URARTSTUDIO collection and discover where each one shines.

Big Oval Brush
The Big Oval Brush is one of the most recognizable brushes in the URARTSTUDIO collection and has become a signature tool in many of our painting tutorials. Its rounded, dome-shaped natural bristles allow artists to create broad expressive strokes while still maintaining incredible control.
Unlike traditional flat brushes that often leave sharp edges, the Big Oval Brush naturally produces soft transitions and flowing organic shapes. It can cover large areas quickly while also allowing the artist to gently sculpt landscapes without creating harsh lines.
This brush is exceptionally versatile because its rounded profile changes character depending on how it’s held. Used flat against the canvas, it produces smooth blended skies and reflective water. Tilted on its edge, it creates rolling hills, distant tree lines, rocky shorelines, and flowing ocean waves. Gentle tapping creates clusters of leaves, bushes, and textured foliage.
It is often the first brush used when beginning a painting because it establishes the largest shapes before finer details are added.
Ideal for:
- Large skies
- Ocean waves
- Lakes
- Mountains
- Reflections
- Trees
- Floral backgrounds
- Clouds
- Underpainting
- Soft blending






3 Oval Brushes (Orange Collection)
The 3 Oval Brushes collection expands the possibilities of the Big Oval Brush by offering three different sizes that work together throughout the entire painting.
The largest brush rapidly blocks in skies, water, and backgrounds. The medium brush develops trees, hills, reflections, and larger flower petals. The smallest oval becomes perfect for refining shoreline vegetation, bushes, clouds, and smaller landscape elements.
Because all three brushes share the same oval profile, they produce remarkably consistent textures while allowing the artist to progressively increase detail without changing painting style.
This consistency makes them one of the most useful brush sets for complete landscape paintings.
Perfect for:
- Landscape painting
- Floral painting
- Water reflections
- Layering backgrounds
- Trees
- Bushes
- Clouds
- Ocean waves
- Large flower petals







Big Square Brushes (#1, #2 and #4)

Many artists associate square brushes only with painting straight edges, but these natural-bristle brushes are capable of far more.
Each size has its own role.
Big Square Brush #4
The largest brush excels at quickly covering the canvas with beautiful blended backgrounds. Large skies, oceans, fog, atmospheric gradients, and broad underpaintings become effortless.

Big Square Brush #2
The medium version offers a balance between coverage and control. It’s excellent for shoreline transitions, distant hills, soft mountain slopes, and medium-sized landscape features.


Big Square Brush #1
The narrowest brush allows much more precision while maintaining the natural texture of the larger brushes. It’s particularly useful for rivers, reflections, shoreline edges, buildings, and medium architectural elements.
Together these brushes allow artists to move naturally from large compositions toward increasing levels of detail.
Excellent for:
- Sky gradients
- Water
- Oceans
- Shorelines
- Fog
- Underpainting
- Mountains
- Cliffs
- Buildings
- Reflections

Ultrasoft Blending Brush
If one brush could be described as “magic,” it would probably be the Ultrasoft Blending Brush.
Constructed with extremely soft synthetic fibers, this brush is designed not to apply paintโbut to gently move existing paint without destroying underlying texture.
Instead of leaving brush marks, it creates atmosphere.
Soft clouds become lighter.
Morning mist appears.
Sunsets glow.
Moonlight diffuses naturally.
Water reflections melt together.
Distant mountains fade into the horizon.
Rather than adding detail, the Ultrasoft Blending Brush removes harsh transitions, allowing colors to flow naturally into one another.
It has become one of the signature tools used throughout countless URARTSTUDIO tutorials because atmospheric perspective is one of the defining characteristics of realistic landscape painting.
Ideal for:
- Fog
- Mist
- Clouds
- Reflections
- Sunsets
- Moonlight
- Snow
- Water blending
- Soft floral backgrounds
- Atmospheric perspective









2 Ultrasoft Blending Brushes
The two-brush collection extends the same blending capability while allowing artists to dedicate one brush to lighter colors and one to darker colors.
This reduces contamination during long painting sessions while making large paintings much easier to blend consistently.
These brushes are especially valuable when creating skies that transition through multiple colors or oceans that require repeated blending over large areas.

Filbert Brush Collection
Few brushes are as versatile as a filbert.
Its rounded flat tip combines the best qualities of a flat brush and a round brush.
This unique shape creates soft edges while still allowing controlled directional strokes.
Throughout our tutorials, filbert brushes frequently become the workhorse of the painting.
They effortlessly create:
- Leaves
- Trees
- Flower petals
- Ocean waves
- Clouds
- Rocky cliffs
- Wildlife fur
- Bushes
- Rolling hills
Because the rounded tip avoids creating hard corners, every stroke feels natural and organic.
Artists quickly discover that a filbert brush almost seems to “paint nature by itself.”






Small Square Brushes
These brushes provide precision without sacrificing coverage.
They excel wherever controlled shapes are required.
In landscape painting they create:
- Tree trunks
- Barns
- Cabins
- Docks
- Windows
- Lighthouses
- Bridges
- Fence posts
- Architectural details
Their crisp edges make them invaluable whenever geometry enters an otherwise organic landscape.

Round Brush
The Round Brush is one of the most expressive brushes in the collection.
Its tapered natural bristles allow the artist to produce flowing organic lines simply by changing pressure.
Light pressure produces delicate grasses and flower stems.
Increased pressure creates thicker branches, vines, reeds, and shoreline vegetation.
Because the brush naturally tapers every stroke, it creates graceful movement throughout the painting.
It’s especially valuable for adding life to landscapes after the larger brushes have completed the main composition.



Custom Bristle Brush
The Custom Bristle Brush is unlike almost anything found in traditional art stores.
Its specially separated natural bristles create unpredictable organic textures with every tap.
Instead of painting individual leaves one by one, the brush produces entire clusters of foliage automatically.
It has become one of the defining brushes of the URARTSTUDIO painting style.
Artists use it for:
- Trees
- Bushes
- Evergreen forests
- Wildflowers
- Sea foam
- Splashes
- Rocks
- Floral textures
- Autumn leaves
- Dense vegetation
Every touch produces natural randomnessโone of the most difficult qualities to achieve by hand.


Natural Bristle Fan Brush Set
Fan brushes are famous for painting grasses, but their capabilities extend much further.
The three different sizes allow artists to build texture gradually.
These brushes excel at:
- Pine branches
- Tall grasses
- Reeds
- Waterfalls
- Ocean spray
- Clouds
- Snow textures
- Flower petals
- Background vegetation
Each fan creates a completely different texture depending on pressure and paint consistency.




Synthetic Fan Brush
The synthetic version behaves differently from natural bristles.
Its softer fibers create smoother, more delicate textures.
This makes it excellent for:
- Soft grasses
- Fine foliage
- Hair
- Feather textures
- Gentle clouds
- Subtle blending
Whenever a painting requires elegance rather than rough texture, the synthetic fan brush becomes an excellent choice.



Variety Paint Brush Set
Sometimes a painting simply requires many specialized tools.
The Variety Set combines several different brush profiles into one convenient collection.
It includes brushes for:
- Fine detail
- Small flowers
- Birds
- Highlights
- Branches
- Signatures
- Decorative accents
- Fine architectural details
These are the finishing brushes that often complete the painting after the larger brushes have established the composition.





24 Paint Brush Set
Designed as an all-around collection, this set provides nearly every essential brush required for acrylic landscape painting.
It offers tremendous flexibility for artists who enjoy experimenting with different techniques while learning how various brush shapes affect their paintings.
Whether painting landscapes, seascapes, flowers, wildlife, or abstract art, this collection provides a complete foundation.

27 Paint Brush Set
The 27 Paint Brush Set expands even further, offering an extensive assortment that supports beginners and advanced artists alike.
From large background brushes to delicate detail tools, it provides nearly every brush required to complete an entire painting without needing additional equipment.
For artists just beginning their journey, it offers an outstanding introduction to multiple painting techniques.

Palette Knife
Not every masterpiece is created with brushes alone.
The Palette Knife introduces an entirely different dimension to acrylic painting.
Instead of brushing paint, it sculpts it.
Thick applications create dramatic rocky cliffs, textured tree bark, mountain ridges, ocean foam, snow-covered landscapes, flower petals, and expressive abstract effects.
The sharp edge creates crisp highlights while the flat blade deposits bold texture impossible to achieve with brushes.
Many artists discover that combining brushwork with palette knife techniques produces paintings filled with depth and excitement.







Every Brush Has a Story
Every brush in the URARTSTUDIO collection was selected because it contributes something unique to the creative process. Some brushes build vast skies, others sculpt crashing waves, create delicate flower petals, soften distant mountains, or add the final highlights that bring a painting to life.
The true beauty of painting isn’t found in using the most expensive toolsโit’s found in understanding how each brush interacts with paint, canvas, light, and texture. As you become familiar with the personality of each brush, you’ll discover that they become extensions of your own artistic vision.
Whether you’re creating a tranquil lake at sunrise, a dramatic ocean storm, a peaceful forest path, a vibrant bouquet of flowers, or a snowy mountain landscape, the right brush helps translate your imagination into every stroke.
At URARTSTUDIO, we’ve spent years refining these tools through hundreds of original acrylic painting tutorials. We invite you to explore the collection, experiment with different techniques, and discover just how much a single brush can transform your artwork. Every painting begins with one brushstrokeโand every brushstroke is the beginning of a new creative journey.
