Features

This Bolt Firm 1 inch one-stroke face painting brush is great for using with rainbow cakes or for filling in large amounts of space. The short bristles and flat top provide for maximum control and smooth strokes. It has a firm bounce for flowing yet controlled strokes.

Jest Paint has striven to make the best possible brush for each kind of painter and this line of FIRM brushes may be just what many have been waiting for. The FIRM Bolt Brushes are great for painters that are heavier handed and need more resistance from their brush. Firmer bristles need a little more water and paint than the regular Bolt brushes, but they are easier to rinse off since they don’t hold on to a lot of paint.

Please Note: The listing is for one brush. Photos on this page may show the brush with close-ups and with other brushes for comparison only.

About Bolt Brushes by Jest Paint

ABOUT JEST PAINT
Anna Wilinski and her husband, Santiago (Santi) Massano are the co-owners of Jest Paint.
After a long love affair with face painting, Anna started Jest Paint as a little online shop in 2009. She was motivated by YouTube viewers who wanted to try her handmade rainbow pots.

ABOUT BOLT BRUSHES
Jest Paint have worked hard to design an ideal set of face painting brushes – from choosing the right handle size to the length and material of the bristles – and created Bolt Brushes.
The handles of Bolt Brushes are coated in a glossy, non-toxic UV-reactive orange paint so that you can easily find your brushes while working at Black Light parties. The bright handle also makes them easy to spot if dropped in the grass or on the ground. The bright orange colour may over time fade to a different shade of orange or yellow from exposure to direct sunlight.
Bolt Brushes are assembled in the USA using components from Thailand.
As the bristles are synthetic, no animals were harmed for the production of these brushes. The wood for Bolt brush handles comes from managed national wood reforestation programs, and the manufacturer is involved with non-profit organizations that fight to protect endangered species, as well as organizations that provide free school materials to kids in need.

About Flat Brushes

Flat brushes are good for:

Shading and blending colours
Base-coats – laying in large areas of colour
“One-stroke” designs – applying multiple colours from a split-cake for instant shading effect and rainbows
Creating ribbons and other lines of varying widths by altering the angle
Roses
Broad, sweeping strokes with neat edges
Narrow lines by using the edge

The flat brush has a flat ferrule and the bristles are square-ended and straight edged. A flat brush can also be called a one-stroke, a shader, or a bright, depending on the length of the hairs and its intended use. In face painting, a one-stroke brush just means a flat brush but most often refers to one inch wide flat brushes which are designed to pick up and deliver all the colours in a one inch wide one-stroke split-cake.

¾” flat brushes are good for one-stroke designs when you want them to be a bit smaller to fit on a tiny kid’s face or arm. They also allow you to use just a section of colours from within your split-cake – like when you want to leave off the black or white or other end colour to create a different effect from that split-cake.

¾” flat brushes are also particularly useful for base-coats – such as the red of Spiderman. Quicker, less messy, and much neater with a defined outline, compared to laying down the base with a sponge.

Smaller flat brushes are great for doing one-stroke effects on a smaller scale – such as one-stroke roses, two-tone leaves, flames, etc, and when you only want to use two or maybe three colours from a split-cake for a different effect.
