Trekell Paint Shapers – Silicone Painting Tools Trekell Paint Shapers give artists a different way to apply and manipulate paint without using traditional bristles. The flexible silicone heads can spread, push, pull, shape, blend, and remove paint while creating everything from smooth passages to visible texture and expressive marks. Unlike a brush, the silicone surface does not absorb paint, allowing you to move color directly across the painting surface. Use the broad edge to spread and smooth paint, work with the corners for more controlled marks, or change your pressure and angle to create different textures and effects. Paint Shapers are especially useful for oils and acrylics, but can also be used with other compatible paints, mediums, gels, pastes, and artist materials. They are also easy to wipe clean, making them useful when switching between colors while you work. Why Artists Choose Trekell Paint Shapers Flexible silicone head for applying and manipulating paint Does not absorb paint like traditional brush bristles Use to push, pull, spread, smooth, blend, and shape color Remove or scrape back wet paint to reveal underlying layers Create smooth applications, defined edges, texture, and expressive marks Broad flat shape provides plenty of surface area for moving paint Corners and edges allow for more controlled marks and shaping Useful with oils, acrylics, mediums, gels, pastes, and other compatible artist materials 6" handle for comfortable control Silicone surface wipes clean easily after use What Can You Do With a Paint Shaper? Paint Shapers can be used anywhere you want to manipulate paint without the texture or absorbency of bristles. Spread a thin layer of color, blend adjacent passages, move thicker paint across the surface, create edges, carve into wet paint, remove areas of color, or build texture with heavier applications. Because the silicone head responds to pressure, changing how firmly you press and how you angle the tool can produce different marks from the same shaper. Available Sizes Trekell Paint Shapers are available in multiple widths for different scales of work. Smaller sizes provide more control in tighter areas, while larger sizes make it easier to spread, blend, and manipulate paint across broader sections of a painting. Care Wipe the silicone head clean promptly after use. Avoid allowing paint or mediums to build up around the base of the silicone head or ferrule.
