BRUSHES
Soft hair brushes are best for glazing : they allow a smooth and even layering of the color.
Some of the best brushes for this application are ox hair flats, sable and squirrel hair (mix).
All are available in sizes ranging from 1/4" to 3".
Sable watercolor brushes have the best tips for rendering fine details, sizes range from 000 and up.
Rekab produces a fine and inexpensive sable brush of this type.
