Hi, I wanted to share with you the type of Brushes I use for my paintings.

For Wet on Wet style painting the recommended brushes are synthetic brushes, these brushes are very good and have a good chisel edge and a good snap.

(A soft brush will not give you the same effect)

Royal and Langnickel Taklon Large Brush Set are a great set of brushes for beginners.

You will find you have plenty of options to purchase nice synthetic brushes at most art shop suppliers, just remember to check they have a nice sharp chisel edge and good firm snap and spring to them.

Brushes which I use in this course are shown below.

Liner Brush – Generally used for fine detail work with inky fluid paint

Round Brush – Small round brush is used for detail, the larger round brush can be used for petals

Filbert Brush – Used for leaves, petals and also for highlights greatly depends on the painting.

Flat Brush – All round brush, used for leaves, flowers, landscapes greatly depends on the painting.

Mop Brush – Used for blending work, and sometimes used for painting too.
