🖌️ Vallejo Shader Brushes

🖌️ Full Vallejo Shader Brushes Range

The Shader brushes are made with soft synthetic fibre and a filbert tip, designed for washing and filters with maximum paint-holding capacity and control. Their curved profile allows you to cover large areas without leaving marks while also delivering defined strokes and smooth transitions on scale models and miniatures.

🎯 Why choose them

• Filbert tip: soft edges for controlled gradients and blending.
• High paint load: fewer passes, uniform flow for washes/filters.
• Soft synthetic fibre: releases colour consistently and without streaking.
• Versatile: perfect for filters, glazes, light varnishes and tinting.

📏 Available sizes

No. 2, 4, 6, 8 — from detail work to large surfaces.

🧪 Practical example (step by step)

Miniature with a red basecoat (resin or plastic):

1. Apply a highly thinned (1:5) reddish-brown wash with the Shader No. 6 to unify the shadows.
2. Using the Shader No. 4, apply a filter of the same tone over the folds to soften transitions.
3. Remove excess from raised areas using the brush barely moistened.
4. Finish with a light glaze along the edges to recover the highlights without harsh cuts.

🧰 Recommended uses

Washes, filters, glazes, light varnishes, wet blending, soft textures and finishing touches on 3D prints, scale modelling and wargames.
