Decorative Artists Paint Brushes

Decorative Artists Paint Brushes
There are no hard and fast rules about which brush to use for what purpose.  Although trends still sweep through the art world, the overall trend is to use the brush style and bristle composition that works best for you.  As such, the descriptions given are just a starting point.  They are not intended to limit experimentation and creativity. 


From the Loew-Cornell Brush Selection Guide:

"Choosing the right brush is ultimately a matter of personal preference. However, each type of brush hair possesses its own unique characteristics that make it favorable for certain
mediums, surfaces, and styles. Brushes can be divided into five major hair types: Synthetic Hair, Mixed Hair, Natural Hair, Natural Bristle, and Synthetic Bristle."
