Guide to buy artist's brush

Painting is a skill much like any other; it requires special tools to accomplish the job correctly. Essentially, paint brushes are an extension of the hand, so choosing one is very much a matter of personal taste. No doubt that when faced with a hundred different paint brushes, they all start to look the same. However, there are two key aspects to look at in particular: the shape and the materials used to construct the brush. The materials are of most importance since they make a big difference in price, quality, and performance.

Natural vs. Synthetic Brushes

The major difference that divides synthetics from natural brushes is that synthetics are made from polyester, a man made product often referred to as Taklon, and natural brushes are made from animal hair. There are pros and cons to using both types.

  • Synthetics -- Cheaper. For use with acrylics and watercolors .
    • Synthetics are not good for use with oil paints since cleaning them requires cleaning with turpentine, which will destroy them.
    • They don't depend on a fluctuating market, rising or falling animal populations, or other environmental factors that might affect animal fur and the cost of it. Synthetics pose no moral dilemma for vegans or vegetarians either.
    • Because synthetics are less porous than natural hair, they are more versatile for using with different mediums and on different surfaces.
    • Built to be strong and durable.
  • Natural -- Best for use with oils and watercolors.
    • Natural brushes don't hold up well to acrylics since the chemicals eat away at the natural oils in the bristles.
    • Many brushes contain blends of two or more of the different types of hairs mentioned below.
      • Soft bristles -- Kolinsky sable (highest quality), badger, ox/sabeline, squirrel, goat, and pony.
      • Camel -- This is often a blend of other natural hairs, not hair from a camel. The best ones utilize the natural tip of the hair, not one that has been previously cut. For example, a camel brush made primarily of pony hair will most likely be using hair from the mane, which receives multiple cuts to yield more brushes. This is the lowest quality of natural brushes.
      • Hard bristles -- Boar, hog, or pig.

Brush Shapes

Round

Makes pointed, thin lines at the tip or wide strokes when pressed down. Use for details, pointed lines, washes, and fills. Choose a pointed round for more ability to paint details.

Flat

Depending on the size, flats (aka shaders) can be used for big washes, blocks, and fills or fine lines when angled on its side. Good for all types of mediums.

Filbert

Ideal for creating soft lines with little or no edge. Good for blending as well. On their sides' they can create finer lines, just like a flat brush. Not the best for watercolors.

Rigger

Basically, these are very long round, pointed brushes used for detailing and outlining with fine, long, continuous lines. Also used for lettering. Good with all paint types.

Bright

These are essentially flats, but shorter, stiffer, and not particularly good for watercolors. Excellent for short strokes. Also called a chisel blender.

Fan

Fan brushes are very versatile. They can blend, be used dry, or they can be loaded heavy with paint to create texture. Not for watercolors.

Angled

Great for most things, except oil painting. Similar to a flat brush, and can create details, tight shading, or more general blocks of color.

Mop

Usually made with natural hair, making them excellent for watercolor, washes, and blending. They also mop up extra water on the canvas.

Spotter

Spotters are short bristled brushes with a fine point. They are ideal for adding details and lines.

Hake

These are exclusively used for doing watercolors and they often have natural hairs, best for absorbing water.

Sizing

Besides the shape of the brush, you'll also want to choose the appropriate size. This is largely determined by the size of the canvas that you are working on, as well as the amount of detail that you are working with. Sizing, which has no overall industry standard, is measured roughly like so:

  • Smallest Brushes (Liners) -- 10/0 | 7/0 | 6/0 | 5/0 | 4/0
  • Small Brushes (Liners) -- 000 | 00 | 0 | 1-5
  • Medium Brushes -- 6-14
  • Large Brushes -- 15-20
  • Largest Brushes -- 21-30

What do the numbers really mean? To get an idea of the sizes of these brushes, know that a size 12 is equal to a 12mm wide head. Therefore, a size 6 would be a 6 mm head, a size 1, a 1mm head, and so on. Numbers smaller than 1, such as 10/0 mean that the brush is 10 units less than a mm.

Ferrules

This is the metallic band that wraps around the head and the handle of the brush. It can be made of various materials, including seamless copper and nickel, and spot-welded, nickel-plated steel. The latter is rust resistant.

Cleaning and Usage Tips

  • Usage -- Be aware that you need to have different brushes for each type of painting you plan to undergo since the bristles are designed differently for each type of paint. Keep your acrylic brushes separate from the oil brushes, and keep the watercolors separate from those. Otherwise, if you mix them, it will compromise the longevity of the brush bristles.
    • Never leave brushes standing in water, except for rinsing and washing, since it will deform the bristles.
    • Don't press or push the bristles so that they spread on the canvas; it will destroy the head's shape.
    • Over time, a paint brush head will naturally become worn down and it may become stained.
  • Cleaning -- After painting, it is extremely important that you wash your brushes as soon as possible.
    • First wipe them off with a cloth or paper towel. Then rinse them. Acrylics should be rinsed in lukewarm (NEVER hot since it will cause the bristles to fall out and it will strip the natural oils from the bristles) and oils will need turpentine or another solvent.
    • Once the majority of the paint has been removed, wipe the brushes down again and wash them with a gentle bar soap, working the bristles gently in the palm of your hand. Rinse the brushes with water until the water runs clear.
    • Shake off excess water and wrap in a towel or paper towel to reshape the head and to let dry.
  • Storage -- Always store brushes upright so that the head does not become damaged.

Tattoo Needles - An Important Part Of The Machine

There are many items that a tattoo artist needs to continue with their work. Most of the pieces and parts that they will use are disposable, while others will be interchangeable along the way. Among those things is the machine that they use, the brands of ink they choose, and let's not forget the tattoo needles that they will need to get the job done.

Before an artist even starts to deal with the actual tattoo needles, the machine itself has to be put together. It comes in three main parts. This includes the coil wrap, the grip, and the tips that hold the needles. To keep everything together and running smoothly, rubber bands, rubber rings, and grommets will also be needed.

To even be able to use the machine, there are other items that are needed. There is the power supply and the foot pedal. These come in many varieties to choose from. It really depends on what the artist's preference is and what the have become comfortable with. The artist will also have to make sure that all of the cords that come with the pedal and the power supply are long enough for their needs.

While disposable, the tattooing needles are a very important part of the machine. They must always, always be sterilized. Because of the risk of infection, many artists opt to buy pre-packaged needles that come in pre-sterilized packages. There are ways to sterilize the needles before use, but this is the safest way to make sure that your customer will have the lowest risk of infection possible.

As the artist gets farther along into their tattooing career, they will most likely have at least two machines set up to be used. One will be designated as a liner machine, and the other will be used as a shader. It is easier for the artist to have different machines setup to do different things so that they will not have to spend the time preparing the machines while tattooing.

A tattoo artist will use a liner machine to do the outline of the tattoo and any lining within the tattoo itself. This machine will usually use smaller needles to achieve the look that the customer wants. Even a single needle can be used, but a three or a five is most likely unless the customer is wanting bigger and bolder lines.

A shading machine will do just that, shading within the outlines of the tattoo. With shading, the size of the needle will usually be larger than the size used for the outlining. It is up to the artist's preference whether he or she will use a flat or round setup of needles.

Professional tattoo needles will come labeled as what they are intended for. RS and RL for round shader and round liner. A round setup is where the needles are grouped together to form a cylindrical shape. FS and FL are also used for flat shader and flat liner. With a flat setup, the needles are lined up in a single row, or they also come in multiple rows stacked on top of one another. Each type of setup varies in size starting from a single needle up to nine or even more.

No matter what level of tattooing the artist is at, tattoo needles are an important part of the job. To keep the customer safe and the risk of infection low, then they should always be sterilized and used only once. They come in many sizes and varieties, so it will always depend on what the artist is comfortable with using for each tattoo that they do.
