The
selection of right type of hair is the most important aspect of crafting
brushes. Depending on the purpose, quality and price, various types of
hair are used. Generally animal hair is used, but in recent years the
use of synthetic hair has been increasing. On the one hand because the
quality of synthetic hair is constantly improving, on the other hand
because it is often more attractive in price terms.
However despite the improvement in quality, animal hair remains
superior in almost all cases because of its better water and paint
absorption. This has the advantage of making painting more easy and
enjoyable because the brush retains the paint for longer. The various
series of hair used, all have their special qualities. This gives each
brush its own unique individual character. So that it often depends on
one's own aims and requirements what brush is most suitable.
