If you are a painter paintbrushes are your hands. It is just like a magic wand that can create anything which is stuffed inside your brains. What you need to know is how to use and what to use and the purpose to use. You many times can't decide which brush should I choose and which not. If we talk about painting acrylics on canvas, there are varieties of brushes. Which brush you should choose completely depends on your work. Some types of brushes are given below have a look.
Round Brush
It is used with thin paint not with thick paint. It can be used to fill small areas, to outline, and give details to yur sketch . The best thing with this brush is it can spread and become wider when pressed on canvas and hence can be used to fill thin color perfectly.
Pointed Brushes
It has a very fine and pointed tip. Perfect to give very sharp details like in eyes and in delicate areas.Best spotting and retouching.
Flat Brushes
Best for filling wide space areas. Give bold strokes. Good for varnishing.
Filbert Brush
Flat and oval-shaped end with medium to long hairs.
Good for: blending, soft rounded edges like flower petals. this brush is sort of a combination of the rounds (because they can be used for detail) and flat (because they can cover more space than round).
Fan Brush
Flat, spread hairs.
good for: natural hairs are good for smoothing, blending, and feathering. synthetic hairs are better for textural effects, clouds, and leaves on trees. for acrylics, use strong and sturdy one, otherwise, the hairs will clump when paint is added.
Angular Brush
Flat with angled hairs at end.
Good for: curved strokes and filling corners. can reach small areas with tip. also can be used to cover lots of space, similar to flat brushes.
