🖌️ Which brush should I choose?

There’s no single “right” brush — there’s the right brush for the job you want to do.
Use this quick guide to choose with confidence.



🎯 I want lines & fine detail

👉 Round Brush

  • Fine lines, outlines, organic shapes
  • From illustration to miniature painting

Choose size:

  • 20/0 – 5/0 – 3/0 → ultra-fine detail, miniatures
  • 0 – 1 – 2 → everyday precision work
  • 4 → versatility (lines + small fills)



✒️ I want long, continuous lines

👉 Liner / Script Liner

  • Outlines, stems, lettering
  • Holds more paint than a round brush

✔ Ideal for smooth, uninterrupted lines



🔍 I want maximum precision in tiny areas

👉 Spotter / Petite Spotter

  • Micro details, dots, highlights
  • Miniatures, figures, facial details

✔ When a liner feels too large



🌿 I want softness & curved strokes

👉 Filbert

  • Leaves, petals, organic shapes
  • Soft blending without hard edges

👉 Petite Filbert for detail & miniatures
👉 Pointed Filbert if you want precision + blending in one brush



📐 I want clean edges & flat color

👉 Flat / Flat Shader

  • Color blocks, geometric shapes
  • Clean, controlled results

👉 Petite Flat Shader for precision work in small areas



🎨 I want blending without visible brush marks

👉 Round Blender

  • Smooth transitions, clean blends
  • Backgrounds, washes, tonal blending

Choose size:

  • No. 6 → controlled blending
  • No. 12 → larger areas & smooth transitions



🌙 I want blending with texture & character

👉 Lunar Blender

  • Dry brushing, layering, texture effects
  • Breaks up color instead of flattening it

Choose size:

  • 1/2" → comfortable blending & texture
  • 1/8" → targeted blending & fine detail



💧 I want washes & lots of water

👉 Mop / Black Mop

  • Backgrounds, skies, watercolor
  • Soft, flowing strokes with high water retention



🌾 I want texture & special effects

👉 Fan Brush

  • Foliage, hair, dry brush effects
  • Not for precision — for expressive texture
