The flats are also for watercolor or Acrylics, not bristle brushes, am I right?Arena Shawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13585731948191412898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1031399529255126735.post-55279065471352243872012-06-29T08:12:18.449-04:002012-06-29T08:12:18.449-04:00I love this painting!

My answer to your q...Thanks for the comments Arena. My answer to your question is "Cheap, Cheap, Cheap!" I have a bunch of different size brushes that I bought at Michaels or WalMart (usually in packets). The bristles tend to be a little stiffer, but still fairly soft. The brushes are meant to be used for watercolor or acrylics. I have a couple of very small flat brushes that work great for lifting. Those seam to be my "go-to" brushes rather than the rounds. Although depending on the shape I'm lifting, I'll use whatever works - round or flat.Kara K.

One of those days I'd have to fly up and take a workshop with you, Kara!<br /><br />One simple question comes to my mind -- what brush and which size do you usually use to lift details such as the textured areas on the crows? I think the one I am currently using is not giving me as good a resolution as I would like, so I'm searching around... Or better yet, ask the expert!Arena Shawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13585731948191412898noreply@blogger.com
