The En Pointe Set
There are 11 brushes in the En Pointe set and each one has been painstakingly selected to give the broadest range of creative possibility. I have used conventional sizing and this detail as well as the type of brush is placed on each brush.
The 10 Round brushes graduate evenly from a tiny size 1 through to a generous size 18. They give you wonderful choices to suit any purpose.
The lovely thing about Round Brushes is the pointed tips married with the full belly of the brush that can hold plenty of pigment. They can be used to create a modulated, linear mark by applying more or less pressure during the stroke; the pointed round is ideal for fine detail. Used on their sides in a scribbling motion, they’ll make an irregular, broken patch of color. They are a wonderful general use brush!
The Liner brush has a longer bristle and is wonderful for text and for applying the finest, flowing lines – like eyelashes.
The Pirouette Set
There are 11 brushes in this set and each one has been painstakingly selected to give the broadest range of creative possibility.
You can use brushes as you like, but let me list out each of the brushes and why they are included in this set:
Mops are thick, round brushes that create expressive, organic forms. When applied with varying angles and pressures, they can be used to create a wash of color that subtly changes from broad to narrow. Our mops are long and full bellied with a cropped top. They will quickly become favourites!
- Mop in size 6
- Mop in 10
Flat Brushes I consider these the most versatile of brushes as they allow for thick or thin lines with just a twist. They are great for creating long lines and painting quickly.
- Flat 6: fabulous for smaller details
- Flat 8: for color that flows smooth like butter but creates bold and crisp strokes!
- Flat 12: Feeling bold but still want control? This size is your friend.
- Flat 1″: Perfect for large tracts of colour!
Wash brushes are very wide, flat brushes designed to hold a lot of water and pigment. Our wash can create a broad, square-edged patch of color.
- A deliciously large 3/4 Wash: create beautifully graduated washes with painterly delicacy.
Filberts can create a variety of marks from broad to linear, without the square edge of a flat brush. Filberts can also make a flat patch of color with no distinctive brush marks when used on its side in a scribbling motion. Perfect for painting smooth skin!
- Filbert in 8: Smooth face details
- Filbert 10: Smooth body details
Angle Brushes are best used for making clean, fine lines. If you have an edge that’s close to another object or if you want a crisp, straight line, grab these brushes!
- Angle in 8
- Angle in 10
The Arabesque Set
There are 12 brushes in the Arabesque set and each one features a durable Japanese nylon bristle that is not only cruelty-free, but full of bounce for the most pleasant painting experience. For easy reference, conventional sizing as well as the type of brush is printed on each brush. You will also find the letter “A” to remind you that these love Acrylic paint!
You can use brushes as you like, but let me list out each of the brushes and why they are included in this set:
Flat Brushes I consider these the most versatile of brushes as they allow for thick or thin lines with just a twist. They are great for creating long lines and painting quickly.
There are 5 Flat brushes offer control and variety of line. You can paint out to edges with ease and precision.
The huge Gessoh brush is especially wonderful for backgrounds and collaging larger areas.
- Flat 6: start with this for smaller details and precise edges.
- Flat 8: for color that flows smooth like butter but creates bold and crisp strokes!
- Flat 10: Feeling bold but still want control? This size is your friend.
- Flat 14: Want to feel like flying with your colours? the larger the brush, the greater the freedom!
- Gessoh : this 1″ wide brush is for large tracts of colour!
Angle Brushes are for making clean, fine lines. If you have an edge that’s close to another object or if you want a crisp, straight line, grab these brushes! They can also be pivoted as you use them to create wonderful varied strokes that go from thick to thin and back again.
- Angle 4
- Angle 8
- Angle 12
The 4 Round brushes graduate evenly from a tiny size 4 through to a generous size 16. They give you wonderful choices to suit any purpose.

What Jane says
There are three sets in the brush ballet: The En Pointe, the Pirouette and the Arabesque!
What you might like to know
Because the Brush Ballet are of such exceptional and soft quality, each of the brushes arrive with a special coating to keep the shape as they travel to you.
Please rinse the watersoluble coating away before use by holding the brush under running water, and gently massaging to release the coating as it softens.
- Pirouette and EnPointe are especially suited for watersoluble media (watercolour, inks and LayerCake)
- Arabesque is especially suited for use with acrylic paint.
CARE TIPS:
- Do not leave your brushes standing on their bristles in water – this will dramatically shorten their lifespan and potentially bend the bristles.
- If you’re painting with watercolor, you can wash your brush using just water. If you’re painting with other mediums such as acrylic, it’s best to wash your brush immediately after you’re done with gentle soap and water. Once clean, reshape the bristles and lay flat to dry on a paper towel.
- Try not to mix the type of paintbrush you are using with a different medium. If you do mix the type of paintbrush with the medium you are using, just be sure to thoroughly clean it when finished!
- Keep your brushes in tip-top condition with Brush Buff
