The Army Painter: Hobby Brush - Highlighting

The Highlighting Brush is the smooth‑stroke, edge‑pop specialist of Army Painter’s Hobby Brush line — the one painters reach for when they want clean highlights, crisp edges, and controlled brightness without fighting their brush. It’s larger than the detail brushes, smaller than the basecoat workhorses, and sits perfectly in that “precision highlight” zone.

It’s the brush you grab when you want “clean edges, smooth blends, and confident highlight control.”

What the Highlighting Brush Is Built To Do

• Lay down controlled, thin highlight lines

• Create smooth, bright edge highlights on armor, cloth, weapons, and faces

• Hold enough paint for consistent strokes without flooding

• Provide stability thanks to a slightly longer bristle profile

• Work perfectly for layering and subtle tonal transitions

It’s basically the “edge‑highlight scalpel” of the brush lineup.

Why Painters Love It

• Excellent point retention for crisp, readable highlights

• Smooth paint flow for clean, uninterrupted strokes

• Comfortable handle for long highlight passes

• Perfect for armor edges, cloth folds, hair, weapons, and character faces

• Ideal for both beginners learning highlights and veterans refining them

If you’ve ever said “I need a brush that makes highlights easy,” this is the one.
