The Wedge Brush That Could Change the Way You Paint Forever
Let’s be real - most of us get comfortable using the same few brushes: rounds, flats, maybe a filbert or two. And while they’re great, they all come with limitations.
But what if there was one brush that could do the work of three? A brush that can create clean edges, expressive curves, and delicate lines - all in a single stroke?
Here’s the good news:
That’s exactly what we discovered while developing BLOOM - Craftamo’s newest 6-piece brush set made for artists who love to mix watercolour and gouache with freedom and control.
If you’ve never used a wedge brush before, this might just change the way you paint.
1. Why Most Brushes Limit You - Without You Realising
Traditional brush shapes are familiar:
✔ Flat brushes = great for bold strokes, but struggle with curves.
✔ Round brushes = good for detail, but hard to control for large areas.
✔ Filberts = nice in-between, but lack precision.
Wedge brushes, though? They combine the best of all three.
Their unique shape allows you to:
→ Create crisp lines or flowing petals
→ Get into tight corners and cover wide areas
→ Switch between edge work and expressive strokes - instantly
This one shape opens up an entirely new set of techniques you didn’t even know you were missing.
2. Mastering Water Flow with the Right Tool
One of the most overlooked features of a good brush is water control.
Wedge brushes are angled in a way that allows you to hold and release water or pigment gradually. That means fewer accidents, more intentional marks, and better transitions between layers.
In our side-by-side tests, BLOOM outperformed traditional rounds and flats when it came to:
✔ Clean water-to-pigment control
✔ Smooth gradients
✔ Wet-on-wet and dry-brush versatility
Pro Tip:
Use the side of the wedge for broad washes, the tip for line work, and the full belly to press for bold, organic shapes.
3. Designed for Today’s Artists
Modern painting isn’t one-size-fits-all. You may move between loose florals and tight botanical detail. You might layer gouache over watercolour, or add abstract shapes alongside realistic forms.
That’s why we designed the BLOOM Brush Set to be as flexible as you are.
Crafted with:
🎨 Soft, cruelty-free synthetic fibres for smooth pigment loading
🎨 Earth-toned, matte handles for effortless control
🎨 Gold recycled ferrules and dual-color bristles for a premium look and feel
The set includes:
✔ 4 Wedge Brushes: Sizes 6, 8, 10, and 16
✔ 2 Round Brushes for Detail Work: Sizes 2 and 3/0
Every stroke feels intuitive - and that means less overthinking and more creative flow.
A Closer Look at BLOOM by Craftamo
This isn’t just about aesthetics (though yes - it’s gorgeous). We built this brush set to solve real problems that artists face every day:
→ Needing multiple brushes for different techniques
→ Struggling with water control
→ Losing spontaneity because of clunky tools
BLOOM is here to streamline your process without sacrificing expression.
We’ve tested this set with real artists working in watercolour, gouache, florals, abstracts—you name it. And the response has been nothing short of enthusiastic.
