Buying Paintbrushes

A great paintbrush can be hard to find, especially if you are just starting out. But don't worry; we've gathered a few questions to help you find the right paintbrushes.
 
What are the best paintbrushes for new artists?

For new artists, it's important to have professional-quality paint brushes. These don't have to break the bank, but you should look for smooth bristles that are tightly packed and that spring back when you bend them. Likewise, look for the brush that best suits the paint you are using, as acrylic and watercolour brushes differ and may produce different results.
 
Which brushes are best for acrylic paint?

Acrylic paintbrushes are the most popular type used by artists using acrylic paint. Typically, these brushes have synthetic bristles made from materials like nylon, offering durability. 

How are watercolour paintbrushes different from others?

Watercolour paint brushes are designed with a fine tip to ensure even colour transfer onto your creation. The bristles should bounce back into shape after each stroke, allowing for a consistent application.
