Discover the ProArte x Emma Block paintbrush collection
After using ProArte brushes for over 10 years as a professional illustrator, I have collaborated with them on my own range of paintbrushes, especially for gouache.
I’ve been involved in every part of the process, from choosing the type of hair, the shape and size of the brushes, to designing the packaging. I’ve been testing these brushes and using them in my professional work to make sure that they are absolutely perfect. I think you’re going to love painting with them!
What’s really special about these brushes is that they are incredibly responsive, combining soft, expressive brushstrokes with precision. Their unique blend of synthetic hair means they mimic the way natural hair behaves whilst also having the springiness of a synthetic brush, making them perfect for handling gouache.
This exclusive set of 5 handcrafted brushes, made in England, comes in a beautiful sleeve designed by me with a complimentary copy of the journal, ProArte’s publication.
The set includes-
Round size 2
Round size 4
Round size 5
Filbert brush size 4
Angled brush 1/4
The range feature vegan-friendly, soft synthetic hairs in a mix of bespoke shapes and sizes. The bristles of these brushes have just the right amount of spring to control the thicker consistency of gouache whilst also creating beautifully soft, expressive brushstrokes. These brushes are so versatile, they also work great for watercolour, ink, and acrylics, which is perfect for mixed media artists.
