Filbert brushes take the best of round and flat brushes, meaning they can be used for detail as well as coverage. Filbert – This flat brush with domed edges can be either medium or long-bristled.However, they aren't good for wet on wet, as their stiff bristles can pull up the underlayer of paint. With shorter and stiffer bristles than a flat brush, these paintbrushes work well with heavy body paints when doing impasto and with thin paints to help drive the pigment into the canvas. Bright – A bright brush is a short-bristled flat brush with edges that curve slightly toward the center.By using the edge of the brush, it’s also possible to make fine lines. Flat – Versatile with long or medium bristles, flat brushes can be used for everything from filling in large spaces to creating bold strokes, impasto, or washes.Round brushes work better with thinner paints. By changing the pressure on the brush, it’s easy to vary from thin to thick lines. Round brushes are ideal for sketching and filling in smaller areas, as well as linework. Round – Ideal for adding fine detail, round brushes are a close gathering of bristles with a round or pointed tip.To understand what will work for you, let’s take a look at some of the most common brush shapes. There are brushes that will help create fine lines and others that are used to provide texture. Some brushes work better with heavy body paints as opposed to more fluid pigments and others are the opposite. What you decide will depend not only on your medium but also on the painting techniques that you use. There are many different paintbrush shapes to select from.
