The comb brush has its bristles separated into small bundles, so a single pull leaves a set of parallel lines instead of one stroke. Anything made of many similar strands – hair, fur, thatch, grass, planks – stops being a painting job and becomes a single drag of the brush.

What to pair it with
Lay the base tone with AK Synthetic Brush – Round 0 first – the comb is a texture tool, not a covering one. For the same effect on a smaller area, AK Synthetic Brush – Fan Shape works with a lighter touch.
Frequently asked questions
Does it work with thick paint?
No. Thick paint bridges the gaps between the bundles and you get one blunt stroke. Thin it until the bristles separate freely.
How do I keep the bundles from clumping?
Clean it more often than a normal brush and never let paint dry in it – once the bundles glue together the effect is gone.
How do I clean an AK synthetic brush?
Rinse it in clean water – or the matching thinner for enamels and oils – before the paint sets, work brush soap into the bristles with your fingers, reshape the tip and let it dry point-up. Never leave a brush standing in a jar. The cleaners are in thinners and cleaners.
Synthetic or Kolinsky sable?
Synthetic fibre is springier, cheaper and completely indifferent to harsh thinners, so it is the right choice for varnish, enamels, oils, pigments and every abrasive technique. Sable holds more liquid and comes to a finer point – that is the da Vinci brushes range. Most painters end up owning both and using each for what it does best.
The complete range is in the AK Interactive brushes category.
