Standard Watercolor Brush Kit Painting Art Books Tips How Paint Oip Canvas Oil Arts Crafts

The standard recommendations for a basic and versatile brush selection most often come down to these five brushes:

* a small sable round (#2 to #4 is a good minimum size) — for detailed textures, lines, hatching, and small forms or figures

* a medium sable round (#6 to #8) — for small paintings, small paint areas, medium textures and rendering medium sized forms

* a large sable or synthetic round (#12 to #14) — for rendering large irregular forms, charging washes, wicking up excess liquid

* a small acrylic flat (1/4" to 1/2") — for sharp edged details, corners, and crisp edged texturing or stippling; also good for scrubbing or moving small areas of paint already on the paper (for example, to remove mistakes), and for lifting large amounts of paint from dry pan paint cakes (for example, to mix a wash)

* a large natural hair flat (3/4" to 1") — sable, squirrel or a blend of bristles, for medium sized washes and glazes

* a medium squirrel mop (#8 to #12) — for laying washes, prewetting the paper, wicking up excess paint or water, and subtly adjusting the density or texture of wet paint.

Though it's not a brush, a natural sponge (a sea sponge or a block cellulose sponge, not the plastic kind) is very handy.
