Annie Sloan Chalk Paint® Brush — Medium

The Medium Chalk Paint® Brush is the workhorse of the range — the brush that most painters reach for most of the time. Beautifully balanced and generously sized, it covers furniture quickly and confidently while still giving you enough control for mouldings, edges, and detail work. If you could only have one Annie Sloan brush, this would be it.

Made with pure natural bristle and a comfortable beechwood handle, it holds a generous amount of paint and releases it evenly across the surface — making light work of dressers, cabinets, tables, and chairs. The bristles are firm enough to work paint into recesses and details, yet soft enough to blend and feather edges with ease. Like all Annie Sloan brushes, it improves with use as the bristles soften and season to the paint.

What the Medium Brush is Perfect For

• Most furniture projects — dressers, cabinets, bedside tables, chairs
• The ideal all-rounder for painters of every level
• Mouldings, edges, and surface detail on larger pieces
• Blending and feathering colour across surfaces
• Dry brushing and layering techniques

How to Care for Your Brush

Rinse thoroughly in warm water immediately after use — Chalk Paint® is water-based and cleans up easily when fresh. Reshape the bristles and allow to dry flat or hanging bristle-down. With proper care, an Annie Sloan brush will last for years and actually improves with use as the bristles soften and season.

Coverage & Application

The Medium brush (No. 12) is the most versatile size in the range and suits the majority of furniture painting projects. For very large surfaces, consider the Large Chalk Paint® Brush. For fine detail work, the Small brush gives greater precision.
