What brushes do I need for oil, acrylic and water colour?
Oil colour The traditional hog hair brushes work best with oil colour although synthetic hair brushes are now more popular. Acrylic colour Mainly synthetic brushes work well with acrylic. If you like to achieve a more impasto look with your paint, you could also try a hog hair brush too. Gouache and Water colour The natural, Sable hair brushes are the best but they are expensive. A sable and synthetic mix brush as well as a pure synthetic brush would be a cheaper alternative and are perfectly acceptable alternatives to sable.
