In a hurry? Here are the best products at a glance.
Whether you are an experienced painter or a new artist, the best acrylic paint brushes can help you create your next beautiful masterpiece. We found paintbrush kits that are great for young kids, art school students, hobbyists, and professional painters alike – and many of them are at an affordable price, too! Before investing in a new set of paintbrushes for your art kit, here are a few key features know about to pick the right acrylic paint brushes for your needs.
Brush Material: We’ll start off by letting you know if the acrylic brushes we reviewed are made of natural animal hair or synthetic fibers. You can choose whichever type suits your painting needs, or grab a set that comes with both types!
Pieces: We also let you know how many brushes come in each set! There are great options if you want a few brushes to start, and we found large sets that have every size you need to do more advanced projects!
Handle Material: Paintbrush handles can come in a variety of materials, like wood, plastic, and glass. All of the acrylic paint brushes we reviewed come with wooden handles, which are lightweight, easy to grip and dry quickly after washing to prevent mildew.
Case: Some of the brushes we reviewed come in their own carrying case, making them great for art students and traveling painters. If you already have your own art case, we found sets that don’t come with a case as well!
Brush Sizes: Each kit comes with a variety of brushes in different shapes and sizes. We let you know the size range of each kit, and we’ll go into more detail in the descriptions about what shapes and specialty brushes are included!
Money Back Guarantee: Investing in art supplies can get expensive, and it’s always disappointing when brushes don’t hold up. Many of the brands we reviewed offer a money back guarantee or a free replacement option if something goes wrong with your new brushes.
Okay, now that you know what you’ll need, let’s dive into the reviews! We did the hard work for you and found the best acrylic paint brushes for beginners, professionals, and everyone in between.
