The Fan Brush
One of the brushes are the fan brush. Whenever I look at a fan brush it reminds me of those hand held fans that are used in China. What reminds you when you see a fan brush? Well, first you need to know what a fan brush is. A fan brush is a brush with thin layers of short hair that is spread out like a fan. It comes from the silver metal part of the brush which is called a ferrule. You can use a fan brush to create texture and to blend colors. This brush is great for hair and small details like highlights in your hair. You can also use it for making leaves on trees or like branches. Its great for dotting when you are painting a scenery drawing. Also, when you paint with this, you have to make sure the painting looks realistic.
