brushes/ palette supplies
Everyone has a personal preference on brushes. These are a good representation of staple brush selections, choose according to personal taste, but try to avoid bargain basement brushes. Experiment with both natural hair, and synthetic brushes to determine disposition
Natural bristle = more coarse, achieve textures, moves paint more easily
Synthetic = more uniform precise tips and edges, smoother mark
#36 or #10 round
#12 or #14 flat ~ 1”
#6 or #8 bright ~ ½”
*I might suggest supplementing your three ‘quality’ brushes with a ‘middle ground’ sampler pack. It is a good idea to have an array of brush sizes and styles, to employ as needed.
