How do you choose the right brush for your painting?

Picking the Right Brush for the Job

When choosing your brush to work with you must think before you paint! If you are painting something that requires a lot of detailed work than you won't want to paint with a fan paintbrush because those types of brushes are for working with a larger surface. Instead you will want to choose a brush that is made for detailed work, such as a round brush. It also works the other way, if you are painting a large surface and you want to cover it quickly, you certainly wouldn't use a brush made for detailing. Instead you would choose a brush that allows you to paint larger surfaces in a quick amount of time, such as a flat brush.
