Brushes can be found by fiber, by medium, by name, and by shape. La Rue sources thousands of brushes, every possible fiber, shape, and size, from brush makers all around the world. No other company maintains such a huge inventory and selection of artist brushes. Once they reach our warehouse, brushes are carefully stored in our climate-controlled facility so that no brush is damaged by dust or humidity. Whether it's a handmade Siberian Kolinsky costing hundreds of dollars, or a bulk canister of nylon brushes for a kindergarten class, you get the same great service from La Rue.
