Tips for Using Flat Art Brushes

A great technique to take on when using a flat brush is flat wash. This effective method is handy to add to your book of art tricks and can be used almost every time you paint. With a flat wash you can create a flawless ribbon of colour without disruption or error.
Let the paint flow down and allow gravity to do its job – tilt your surface at an angle to let the paint drip downwards. Naturally, flat brushes are an ideal fit for the job and using one of your larger flat brushes will give you the best results. Load your brush with just enough paint to be able to get the job done in one take as flat washing is a quick business! Simply start in the corner of your section and touch your brush to the surface and gently pull straight across to the opposite corner. Voilà – you have a perfect flat wash line!
Tips for Using Round Art Brushes
Once you have mastered the flat brush you can take on round brush techniques. With fine bristles and a thin appearance these arty wands are perfect for achieving those fine details and shapes. Round brushes work beautifully for scroll work and you can kick things up a notch by mastering multi-coloured scroll work. This technique will add kaleidoscopic character to your piece with a pick and mix of shades and tones that blend together in a concoction of colours.
Simply begin by dampening your round brush and adding some luminous colour to one side of the head. Then on the other side of the brush add another colour. Once your freshly prepared paint mixture is ready, gently push down on your surface then lift up the brush with a little twist as you come around. Repeat the process even adding different colours and admire your bespoke results you will be left with. Don’t be afraid, the colours will graciously blend into each other and you can even add a third colour to the tip of your brush. Have fun with this method and enjoy making recipes of multi-coloured magic and watching them come to life right in front of your eyes.

Which Brushes to Use?
Deciding on which type of brush to use for acrylic painting can be a daunting task – there are many out there but we can narrow it down. You should have a vision in your mind of what you want to achieve, type of effect and finished result. If not, don’t worry – working freehand can also achieve impressive results.
If you want textural, raw effects, opt for stiffer brushes. On the flip side of this, softer brushes can be used for smoother brushstrokes with more blending. Bear in mind that acrylic paint is of a softer consistency in comparison to oils but much thicker than watercolours, therefore your choice of brush should not be too soft, but not too stiff to where your brush strokes will be restricted.
Typically synthetic brushes are best for acrylic painting as they offer a springier effect whilst being durable and maintain their shape well. If you are new to this style of art, this choice would be ideal. Natural bristle brushes which have been produced for use with oil paint also can be used for dabbling with acrylics – however be warned they are expensive.
Whichever you choose, give your brushes some TLC and attention after using them. Keep them immersed in water for a few days to avoid paint drying on the brush as undue moisture can ruin the natural fibres.
