Does the material of the brush make a difference in painting?
It is important to choose the correct brush depending on the type of paint you are using. a) Oil Paints are very corrosive and it is recommended that you use Hog hair as it will last longer than ordinary brushes. However sometimes artists require softer brush than Hog so there are synthetic brushes available. These brushes are also suitable for Acrylics. b) Acrylic Paints, like oils, are quite corrosive and there is a special range of synthetic brushes available for acrylics. Hog hair brushes can also be used if a stiffer brush is required. c) Watercolours come with a wide range of brushes specifically made for this paint. From expensive sable brushes to cheaper watercolour synthetics and sable/synthetic in the mid-range price section.
