Hake brushes are the perfect implements for painting large areas with smooth, even strokes. Traditional hake brushes are made with soft goat-hair bristles stitched and glued into a long, broad wooden handle. They originally were used for sumi-e painting, but their fine, soft bristles and consistent application of wet media have made them a staple for painters and ceramic artists. These brushes hold ink, paint, glazes, and water extremely well, perfect for painting even washes, applying slips and glazes to ceramics, sizing and priming, and brushing away dust, eraser crumbs, and excess pencil. Buy a hake brush, and before you know it, it will be a go-to tool in your artistic practice. Below, read about the ones we like best.
