Painting with watercolor can be both tomfoolery and testing. One of the inquiries I frequently hear is, "which brushes are ideal, and would it be advisable for me I purchase those with normal fibers or engineered brushes?" There are many brands of watercolor brushes available, and the decisions can appear to be unending. I will summarize some of what I have realized on this point, however there are many books and articles accessible regarding the matter to meticulously describe the situation. One tip is to purchase the best brushes you can manage. The simplest method for getting comfortable with those you select is to work on painting with them!
Watercolor brushes produced using normal hairs are in many cases hand-made and cost the most. They have edges in the fibers (hairs) which hold more paint. This considers less strokes which will in general create a more clear, fresher work of art. These brushes are produced using the hair of the Kolinsky Sable, Red Sable, and Camel, to give some examples, and can be over the top expensive. Others are produced using a combination of manufactured and regular hair and function admirably. Those brushes which are completely engineered can turn out great, and I recommend you buy some from every class in the event that you can bear to do as such.
As you select your brushes, it is vital to purchase those made explicitly for watercolor. They will be either adjusted or level. My idea is to begin with a #12 round, #8 round, #5 round and a#2 round. The more modest the number, the more modest the brush. (The numbers range from #1 through #24.) There are likewise brushes considerably more modest going from 0 to 000 which I don't suggest. They are for minute detail, which you can accomplish very well with a decent quality round brush, which comes to an exact point, in size 2.
A few watercolorists don't utilize any of the more modest round brushes and paint well without them. I for one utilize a #1 and #2 brush notwithstanding the bigger sizes referenced, in light of the fact that I paint a ton of fine detail.
I likewise propose you buy a 1/2 inch level, a 1 inch level, and a two inch level (utilized for laying huge washes/coats.) The more modest level brushes are helpful for making straight lines and little washes.
