Which Artist Paint Brush Should You Use?
In an article I read on DrawPaintAcademy.com by Dan Scott, I found this question answered and thought I would share it with all my blog subscribers and art readers.

"Personally, I use paint brushes as follows:
- For staining the canvas I use the largest flat or filbert brush I have.
- For sketching the composition I use a medium sized round brush, or sometimes even a fan brush if I want a very rough landscape sketch.
- For blocking in general colors and shapes I use a medium to large filbert. Sometimes I will use a flat brush if the shapes are angular.
- For adding detail I use smaller filbert and round brushes. I also use the fan brush in certain situations, such as for painting leaves, grass or water.
- For signing the painting and adding very fine details I use a small round brush."
