How to Stipple

Media

Oval Stipplers

Symphony Oval Stipplers work great on small areas requiring controlled stippling and they are ideal for pouncing.

Black Bristle Pounder

Works as a large oval stippling brush or a large surface spatter brush. Its size and hair strength make it ideal for rough surfaces.

Block Stipplers

Symphony has the sizes suitable for small craft projects all the way up to major wall decorating. The large tuft series (standard size) bristle produces “raw” glazed effects, while the small tuft series creates a more subtle glazed effect. A full line of synthetic hair stipplers is also available in our small tuft series. As an economical alternative, we offer a lightweight block stippler with a unique handle.

History

Traditionally, stippling was a favored technique for executing shading in biological illustration, because it reproduced well by line-art reproduction processes, and did not resemble or interfere with the structures being illustrated.
