Annie Sloan Chalk Paint® Brush — Small

The Small Chalk Paint® Brush is the one you'll reach for when precision matters. Perfectly weighted and beautifully balanced, it is designed for detail work, smaller pieces, and those moments when you need complete control over where the paint goes and how it sits. It is the brush that makes intricate mouldings, carved details, and tight corners feel entirely manageable.

Made with pure natural bristle and a comfortable beechwood handle, it holds paint beautifully and releases it evenly — giving a finish that is smooth where you want it smooth, and textured where you want it textured. Like all Annie Sloan brushes, it is designed to work with the natural qualities of Chalk Paint®, making the most of the paint's unique consistency and coverage.

What the Small Brush is Perfect For

• Smaller furniture pieces — bedside tables, chairs, picture frames
• Detail and accent work on larger pieces
• Intricate mouldings, carved details, and decorative elements
• Tight corners and recessed areas
• Dry brushing and decorative 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 Small brush (No. 8) is ideal for pieces up to the size of a small cabinet or chair. For larger surfaces, consider the Medium or Large Chalk Paint® Brush. All three sizes use the same pure bristle construction and beechwood handle.
