Find the Perfect Flat Brush:
Flat Shader


Flat Shaders are medium in length compared to shorter length chisel blenders and strokes which are longer
Use on the flat side for filling in areas of color or chiseled edge for creating thin lines.
Filbert


Similar to a Flat Shader with a rounded versus a straight across tip, for creating soft edges like a rose petal
Angular Shader


Blending in tight areas, creates crisp edges and precise control, can also make lines
Wash/Glaze


Broad strokes, base coating, applying color to larger areas like backgrounds
Chisel Blender


Short controlled strokes, more precise placement of color than a Shader, recommended for detail work
Mottler/Bristle Bright


Hold large amounts of paint, cover large surface areas, commonly used for murals and washes
Stroke


Longer hair length than a Wash and Shader. For lettering or covering large areas, holds the most color, can be held perpendicular to the surface to make lines
