Blending Techniques with Craftamo Brushes

Craftamo brushes are designed for control, flow, and smooth paint application. 

Here's how to make the most of them for blending:

• Use the Right Brush Shape:

  • Filbert and flat brushes are great for soft color transitions.

  • Round brushes allow detailed blending in tighter areas.

  • Wedge brushes are perfect for gradient petal or leaf blending in one stroke.

• Keep the Brush Damp: 

  • A damn (not soaking) brush helps pull and stretch colour more easily between tones.

  
  

• Feather Your Strokes: 

  • Apply gentle pressure and blend back and forth between colours for smoother transitions.
    
    
    

Work While Wet: For mediums like acrylic, blend before the paint dries. With watercolor and gouache, timing is key! Practice when to blend wet-on-wet or layer after drying.
