Best Round Art Paintbrushes Buying Guide
Before choosing the best round art paintbrush you should consider following options:
1. Size: If you have a particular size requirement, make sure you purchase that size. Otherwise, you can purchase a combination of various sizes for your art needs.
The most common sizes are 8, 10, and 15 millimeters. The size you use is dependent on the type of art you are creating, and the medium you are using.
2. Stiffness: The amount of stiffness in the brush will depend on the type of tip you choose. Synthetic bristles are more durable and easier to control than natural bristles, but they aren’t as good at creating expressive marks.
Natural bristles are better at creating expressive marks, but they aren’t as durable and aren’t as easy to control.
If you want to create expressive marks, choose a brush with a sharp tip. If you want to create a thick line, choose a brush with a chisel tip.
3. Hair Type: Synthetic brushes are best if you are creating colorful artwork since they won’t leave any trace of color in the lines. Natural brushes are better for black and white line art.
4. Quality: Do some research and purchase a good quality brush from a reputable company. Cheaper brushes will leave streaks, and won’t last as long.
5. Cost: Art supplies can be expensive, so always consider the cost of the brushes you are purchasing. Cheap brushes will leave streaks, and won’t last as long.
6. Brand: Some artists prefer a particular brand. If you have a favorite brand, purchase it. If not, then it doesn’t matter what brand you purchase.
