Brushes

So many people ask "What size of brush do I use?" 
If you are working on a 1/4 sheet (11x14inch) painting,  then a size #6 and #4 round with a smaller one #1-#000 for detail.  I prefer angular or slant angle brushes than a flat for wetting. Then the rounds to apply color.
To wet a large area such as a sky, use a 1 inch flat.  Of course I use my two mix-up clean-up bristle brushes to mix color.
If working on a larger or smaller painting  then increase or decrease accordingly.
If you have any questions please e-mail me.
