INTRODUCING
Pro Arte X Will Rochfort

Explore renowned artist Will Rochfort’s range of paint brushes developed here at Pro Arte. In collaboration with Will, his range of brushes feature stiff, vegan-friendly synthetic hair that is purpose-built for oil painting. The mix of shapes and sizes custom to Will are perfect for matching his style of large settings and backgrounds as well as the fine details needed in portraiture

“Pro Arte brushes handle incredibly well, holding the paint really nicely whether you’re applying it thickly or thinly. Long handle oil brushes are perfect for my painting method as I like to hold the brush at the end of the handle to keep some looseness in the application of paint. The synthetic bristles hold their shape perfectly without being too stiff, moving easily with whatever effect I’m trying to achieve. I’ve used Pro Arte’s oil brushes for as long as I can remember, mostly using long flats, size 0 to about 6, because I like to be quite blocky with my paint and the long rectangular shape and sharp corners help me to apply it in everything from solid ’slabs’ or fine lines and edges, whilst bending and flowing with ease.

For the smaller details in my paintings, I’ve found finer rounds and riggers to be perfect for achieving the long-flowing brushstrokes or dabs of highlight that I might need. I never like to go too fine and even the tiny details on my paintings are usually applied fairly thickly -and these ranges always seem to be able to hold a decent amount of paint to help me achieve this.

From a longevity point of view, the brushes always last a long time (as long as you look after them) and I find that I can use the same brush for several paintings.”

“My paintings are snapshots of moments in time, often idealised and always entirely staged using my friends and family as models. I see myself as the director, shaping my chosen scene until I am happy and then using this as a groundwork to start painting. My focus is on story, composition and colour...and always seeing the paint at work when you get close”
