If you could only paint with one brush shape, what would you choose?

Trekell Pro Team Artist David Rice is a big fan of our Golden Taklon Brights. He uses them for everything from broad strokes to tiny details.

Are you team Bright, round, flat, or filbert?

Stefani Rabideaux loves our Trekell Brush Restorer for helping reshape splayed synthetic bristles.

We're curious, do you have a regular brush care routine, or do you wait until your brushes start losing their shape?

Could you paint an oil sketch in 30 minutes using just one brush?

Todd M. Casey did exactly that with a #6 Trekell Golden Taklon Filbert, painting red roses in a silver cup.

Sometimes limiting your tools is a great way to discover what they can do.

Have you tried it?

Who says watercolor has to stay on paper?

Mallory Hart mounted watercolor paper to a Trekell Coffin Block Panel, painted her piece, and sealed it for display.

Have you ever tried painting on paper mounted to wood?

Created this in time for Halloween! Got the very cool cutout panel from Trekell. I think I almost like the print design better??

We asked Alai Ganuza to build a Painting Kit around the tools she actually uses.

She chose the brushes, custom handle colors and tools, and even designed the collector box herself.

The Alai Ganuza x Trekell Painting Kit is officially here.

This was an entry into the Trekell Pet Portrait competition a few years ago. It's my cat in the style of a double-exposure school portrait. The main picture photo reference had some fairy lights in the background that I decided to keep.

'He had the right to be here': Teen accused of killing man at Casa Grande house party
There are new developments in a deadly shooting at a house party in Casa Grande over the weekend. Police have a 16-year-old suspect in custody. The victim, who was just 18, was shot and killed outside his home near Trekell and Rodeo roads on Sept. 20. Casa Grande Police say 18-year-old, Joseph Castro was shot and killed at the house party early Sunday morning. A man who identified himself as Castro’s grandfather said he hopes more arrests will follow. "I mean, at least they already have one person in custody, right? And I think that through him, they will get more information to catch the other people who were involved," he said. Security video shared with FOX 10 captures the 19 gunshots that left Castro dead in the driveway with multiple wounds. Investigators tracked down the unidentified 16-year-old suspect using Flock license plate cameras, arresting him just hours later. He's now at the Pinal County Juvenile Detention Facility. "You know, it was tough to hear, especially knowing that he's a young man, and he had the right to be here, and nobody had the right to take his life," said Gabriel Castaneda, who managed Castro when the 18-year-old worked on jobs for his landscaping company, "Hire a Henchman" Landscaping. "I want people to know that he had character. He had character, and just like any of us, just like any of us, he had dreams. He had hopes," Castaneda said. While police have not yet said what led up to Sunday’s shooting, Gabriel says Castro’s death is a heavy blow to all who knew him. "We're not going to get to see what kind of man he grows into, and as far as I was seeing, he was growing into a really nice man," Castaneda added. The 16-year-old suspect is facing multiple charges, including first-degree murder. We don't know the name of the suspect, or what might've led up to the shooting. Police believe more people could have been involved and are asking anyone with any information to come forward. Anyone wishing to remain anonymous may contact Silent Witness at 520-836-2100.

Greg “Craola” Simkins started this painting with memories of vintage cartoons and let one idea lead to another.

A moon led to a song. The song led to a title. The title led to an airplane.

What usually sparks your painting ideas?

Kai Lun Qu doesn’t paint every individual hair to make fur feel believable.

He starts with larger shapes and values, then adds just enough detail to create the illusion of fur.

What’s the hardest part of painting fur for you?

One of my favorites for rendering and the panel it's on (rip to the multiple size panels trekell used to sell..)

Danica Sills chooses her panel first, then lets its shape lead the composition. For her, a Coffin Panel can open up an entire tree of ideas.

What shape would spark an idea for you?

Carlo Miranda had never painted crochet before, so he experimented.

Instead of painting every stitch, he focused on the larger shapes, values and patterns that create the illusion of texture.

What’s a texture you’ve always wanted to try painting?

I just finished my final entry for the Trekell art contest! Colored pencils on wood panel takes so much longer than drawing on paper 😅

My submission for Trekell's Pet Portrait contest. I chose to paint my guinea pig Dumpling, he had a rough time last year but he held on! This is the first year I'm submitting a painting too, wish me luck. 🖌️🤞

Not all soft brushes behave the same. Golden Taklon, Spectrum, Sienna, Legion and Mop brushes each bring something different to the painting process.

Eric Johnson puts them to work and shows where each one shines.

Which soft brush do you reach for most?

How much of your painting style comes from the brushes you know best?

Trekell Pro Team Artists James Ormiston and Alex Garant swapped brushes and had to rethink how they worked.

Would you try a brush swap?
