Brushes With Deer Hair Bristles

Deer Hair brushes are a traditional brush that is used mostly for watercolor, inks, ceramics and gouache .

Deer Hair is larger diameter and fairly springy. It responds best when it is used for wet brush. It also is good for very soft dry brush techniques.

The longer deer hair which comes from the tail makes a fabulous brush for ceramic glazes, under glazes and oxides.

I offer these brushes in bristle lengths of about 2″ or 3″

2” Long Bristle Deer Hair Brush

My medium diameter, 2” long Deer Hair brush is great for organic curves and lines, plus great for hatching and cross hatching and washes.

3” Long Bristle Deer Hair Brushes

The 3 inch long bristle is favored by many because they are great for expressive work, organic lines, curves, and hatching.
