Let’s learn: Types of brushes 🎨
Obviously there are way too many brushes that exist today.
☁️Brushes for specific mediums like oil colors or watercolors,Or brushes that are versatile.
☁️Brushes made of synthetic fibre to natural hair of animals.
But I can only share the knowledge I have(seems right)
So sharing with you a set of brushes I use frequently:
1️⃣Mop Brushes: (they work like a mop) Specifically for watercolors, they are super soft and hold a lot of water and colors, this also means that its not for fine details or clean lines, its more of bigger backgrounds, or blending.
2️⃣Taklon Brushes: Taklon is a type of fibre used for brush so its basically names after the hair type and not the purpose. I have flat brushes to round ones in this series.
3️⃣Fine Brushes: Again, named after the use, fine brushes are of various type that I am also learning about now only.
I think I’ll share with you shortly how fine details brushes are also for different use cases
As I go further in my research.

Fine brushes, essential for precise detailing, come in various sizes and lengths, making them a necessity for intricate work such as outlining and calligraphy.
