Â
Â
A paintbrush is a tool used to apply paint, ink, or other types of fluid to a surface.Â
A paintbrush is made of four main parts:
Â
Bristles:Â
The bristles are the part of the brush that holds the paint.Â
They can be made of natural materials, such as hog hair, sable, or ox hair, or synthetic materials, such as nylon or polyester.Â
The type of bristles used will depend on the type of paint being used. For example, natural bristles are best for oil paints/watercolours, while synthetic bristles are best for acrylic/gouache & watercolour paints.
Ferrule:Â
Â
The ferrule is the metal band that holds the bristles in place. It is usually made of brass or steel.
Â
Handle:Â
Â
The handle is the part of the brush that you hold onto. It is usually made of wood or plastic.
Â
Crimp:Â
Â
The crimp is the small metal piece that secures the ferrule to the handle.

WHAT ARE FLAT SHADER BRUSHES?
Â
A flat shader brush is a type of brush that is used for applying even washes of color.Â
It has a flat, square head that is typically made of natural or synthetic bristles. The bristles are often densely packed, which allows the brush to hold a lot of pigment.
They are a popular choice for artists who work in acrylics, watercolors, and gouache. They can also be used with other media, such as inks and pastels.
When choosing a flat shader brush, it is important to consider the size of the brush head.Â
Smaller brushes are better for detailed work, while larger brushes are better for covering large areas. It is also important to choose a brush with bristles that are the right stiffness for your needs.Â
Softer bristles are better for blending, while stiffer bristles are better for creating crisp edges.
