ABOUT PAINT BRUSH:

A paintbrush is a tool used to apply paint, ink, or other types of fluid to a surface. 

A paintbrush is made of four main parts:

Bristles: 

• The bristles are the part of the brush that holds the paint. 

• They can be made of natural materials, such as hog hair, sable, or ox hair, or synthetic materials, such as nylon or polyester. 

• 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: 

• The ferrule is the metal band that holds the bristles in place. It is usually made of brass or steel.

Handle: 

• The handle is the part of the brush that you hold onto. It is usually made of wood or plastic.

Crimp: 

• The crimp is the small metal piece that secures the ferrule to the handle.

WHAT ARE FLAT SHADER BRUSHES?

• A flat shader brush is a type of brush that is used for applying even washes of color. 

• 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. 

• 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. 

• Softer bristles are better for blending, while stiffer bristles are better for creating crisp edges.

BRUSH CARE:

• When choosing a paintbrush, it is important to consider the type of paint you will be using, the size of the surface you will be painting, and the desired effect. 
• It is also important to take care of your paint brushes by cleaning them after each use and storing them properly.

Here are some tips to remember while using the paintbrushes:

• Hold the brush with a light grip.

• Apply paint to the surface in a smooth, even motion.

• Don't overload the brush with paint.

• Clean your brush often to prevent the paint from drying on the bristles.

• Clean your brushes immediately after each use. 

• Use warm water and mild soap to clean the bristles.

• Rinse the brushes thoroughly to remove all soap residue.

• Shape the bristles while the brush is still wet.

• Allow the brushes to air dry completely.

• Store your brushes in a cool, dry place.

• By following these tips, you can extend the life of your paintbrushes and keep them in good condition.

• Experiment with different types of brushes and techniques to find what works best for you.
