The
use of the proper brush to the type of painting desired is imperative
and can make a vast difference in the quality of the finished painting.
Flat paint brushes are specifically designed to produce accurate and
beautiful results. Flat-shaped brushes are called flats, having long
bristles with a square- cut tip. It is difficult to apply paint with
flat bristles because of the elasticity of the bristle. Flats are better
suited for fluid strokes and blending. Flats will work well with any
pigment and are used with thickened dye, fabric paints, silk dyes, wax,
after fix, etc.
A Flat paint brush provides lots of color capacity and easy
maneuverability. Used for bold, sweeping strokes, or on edge for fine
lines, these brushes work well for dusting parts and also in touch-up
work for applying paint and adhesives. It works well in all medium and
are available in fibers such as sable, mongoose, bristle, badger and
synthetic. Ideal for scumbling and glazing, the flat side of these
brushes covers large areas and the edge renders thin lines.
