What are the most common sizes for artist brushes?

Answer 1

Determining the size of artist paint brush one needs will depend on the material used such as oil or water colour paints and the effect one wants to achieve. Brushes come in shapes such as pointed, flats, filberts, and fans. Rounds are more suitable for smaller and detailed work, whilst fans will spread out the paint and add texture. Brushes come in different materials as well such as nylon, camel hair and synthetic.
