HAKE BRUSHES - TOOLS OF THE TRADE

 

A few hake brushes I have, but rarely use.  One was sent to me from Vancouver Island, British Columbia, by a dear painting friend years ago.  He made magic with the small hake brush in the middle and a small palette and homemade pochade box he took out to the beach for his plein air paintings.  The magic wasn’t in the brush, but in him, I found, when I tried to use the same brush he used :). RIP, Mohan.

we use these in pottery, there is nothing better than a good brush, I use goat's hare brushes for glazing too and I like them a lot

I had no idea potters used hanke brushes - visited your site and I am in awe of all your beautiful work. I admire pottery of all kinds but could never do it as I hate getting my hand really messy because I am really messy even with watercolor, somehow getting paint up my arms all the time! ha ha.

I always like paintings of art supplies!

I like art supply paintings, too, Laura. Something about seeing an artist paint their brushes or pigments/palettes is very appealing.
