Welcome to Hawk Brushes

Welcome to Hawk Brushes, the dedicated paintbrush shop from Hawk Miniatures. We make brushes for people who care about the finish — from premium natural Kolinsky sable brushes to affordable synthetic ranges, all suited to oils, acrylics and enamels.

Whether you are lining a uniform, blending a bust or basecoating a gaming army, you will find the right brush and size for the job. Choose round brushes for detail and basecoating, flat brushes for smooth, even coverage, or angled liners for precise linework — available individually and in curated sets. For wargamers and hobbyists we also offer gaming and micro brushes plus dedicated dry brushes, and our synthetic Vernissage range delivers Kolinsky-imitation performance at a budget-friendly price.

Browse the full range using the menu above. If you would like a recommendation for your painting style, get in touch — we are modellers too, and we are always happy to help.
