Choosing a Brush Set
Typical brush sets come in array of paint styles for the artist for the type of artwork that they will be doing. The most basic brush sets consist of the following paint brushes are bright, fan, filbert, flat, and round brushes.

The bright brushes are usually attached to a longer handle for easier and control. While these bright brushes have a wider and longer brush head, it is ideal for the artist whose brush strokes need to be more controlled.

The fan brush is flat and the hairs of the brush are spread out that makes it more suitable for blending. Also used for blending and smoothing effects.

The filbert brush is a flat, thick oval shaped brush with medium to long length hairs. Typically, these brushes use natural hairs as they are more compatible to blending wet paints.

The flat brush is a square shaped brush with long to medium hair lengths. This brush type is used for more maneuverability while keeping bold strokes as well as finer lines.

The round brush has a pointed tip and is rounder than the other brushes. This brush is ideal for those with high detail work.
