Choosing & Using Brushes When Painting With Acrylics

Hi! This is Brenda and today we are talking about acrylic painting. Now for this paint job of course we will need some good brushes. I have about 4 or 5 here that I seemed to use on a regular basis in my projects. Now this first one is a little spongy type of brush and it is easy to clean and it is easy to work with, so I use that quite a bit. I also use a stenciling brush. As you can see here it has got a flat top and it is thick and it is short. I use that for some of my projects. This brush I use quite a bit also. It has a square top and it is easy also to work with. This brush here I use for my fine detailing. It is just a very small tipped brush and I am able to do like this with my finger if I want to do some writing with it or some detailed work. This brush is a bigger brush; it covers more surfaces. It also has a flat top and I use it in a lot of my projects as well.
