Natural Hair Brushes are known for their superior ability to hold paint. Most natural hairs taper to a fine point on one end, creating sharp edges. Natural hairs vary from soft to coarse. Soft hairs include sable, goat, squirrel, badger, fitch and weasel. Coarse or stiffer hairs include horse, ox and hog bristle. Bristle brushes are naturally flagged, or split on the tips, which allows them to carry large amounts of color and heavy-bodied paints. Natural hair brushes vary in price according to the availability of the material.

Synthetic Brushes are most often made from "BPT" nylon which is dyed to simulate the color of natural hair. The main advantage of a synthetic brush is its durability, resistance to abuse and ease of cleaning. Most synthetics have more body and can accommodate a wide range of paint viscosities. Sythetic brushes can provide a thin wash for a watercolor effect, or a thick, heavy bodied look like that of mural painting. Generally, less expensive, synthetic brushes are the preferred choice of most painters.
