Natural Or Synthetic?

No matter what type of bristle or filament is used in a brush it is what transfers the paint to the canvas being used. Natural bristles are from some sort of animal hair and are best for oil paints while synthetics are nylon or polyester or a combination and work best with water based paints.

Great way to showcase them, Thanks for the information about the brush use. I usually just used whatever size would work for me.....regardless of type. Who knew....

Lovely display of your beautiful brushes, they look so new.

I've always thought a brush is a brush. These are lovely colours

Holy guaccamole!!! This shot is stunning. It looks like you built up those brushes and then suspended the construction in mid air.

[Joan Robillard]

Beautiful composition

[Lin]

Love the background - makes the brush color really pop

[Kathy]

These look like fabulous expensive brushes - celebrity make up brushes perhaps. You really made these mundane objects look fabulous!

Nicely presented.

A good lesson on brushes -- and a good photo too.

My favorite blush brush is shaped like your fan brush. Of course it’s pink. 😊
