If you write Japanese "brush" in English, it will be "brushes", but in Japanese paintings, there is a variety of "brushes".

For example, a brush that draws a line alone has a lucky brush, a bone document (with a kotsugakifu), a facial brush, a hairdoplofer, etc.

In addition, there are types of tools made to paint on a wide surface, such as "flat brush", "brush", and "repeated writing".

Do you know what differences each?

In this article, we will introduce "Brushes" to paint a wide surface with paintings.

Brush

This is the most popular brush that paints the plane. Many people may have seen it in art classes.

The hair is short and the small turn is effective, so it is suitable for applying a narrow area evenly.

It can be used not only for ink, glue, ink, but also for watercolor and acrylic paint, water paint and oil paint.

Brush

A brush is a flat brush used when applying the whole.

Unlike flat brushes, it is suitable for applying a large face because the small turn does not work.

It is often used at the beginning and end of the production, such as glanding, dosa, undercoat, and applying the last varnish.

This brush can also be used regardless of the medium, such as water system and oil.

As for the individual selected criteria, we recommend wool brushes for paint with low viscosity, and nylon brushes for high viscosity.

Of course, nylon is also hard to soft depending on the type, so it is better to try it out first with a study.

The feature is that it is uniform and breathtaking compared to flat brush. If the brush is thin and the paint is good, why not consider purchasing if you want to create a work, such as applying a ground or grinning?

Repeated writing

This brush is somewhat unfamiliar.

It features the goodness of the round brush and a hybrid that combines the width of the brush.

Very good paint, specializing in blur and long -breathing expressions.

In addition, the brush can be drained from both ends, but the continuous writing can be applied evenly because it contains moisture in each bottle.

If you try to add a thin stroke with a thin coating, you will not be able to make a smooth stroke, and only the part with the force will be extremely dark.

In addition, in the case of brush, it is not a tool for the purpose of expressing strength, so there is not much difference.

On the other hand, a series of writing enables a wide area while maintaining the smooth stroke of a round brush.

Of course, the expression method that you are good at depending on the thickness and hair quality of flat brushes, brushes, and continuous writing will change.
