This painting technique and tutorial is a comparison between two most commonly used brushes which are the bristle flat brush versus bristle fan brush in painting tree leaves using acrylic. I mostly used bristle flat brushes than fan brushes but I cannot deny the good result when using the fan brush. The good thing about the flat brush is that it's multiple purpose. You can create bigger leaves and also trees with smaller leaves. Unlike the fan brush, it's just limited to painting the small and soft kind of leaves, which is also really good. So in my conclusion, flat brush is better in terms of multiple purpose but fan brush can create prettier tree leaves. So it's all up to you which you used comfortably with. Just practice using each one and do better than I have here. Please don't forget to hit like, add some comments and subscribe for more videos. You can also share it to anyone.

  1. I think the flat brush does a better job on tree foliage and the fan brush does a better job painting grass.

  2. Sir , I am always disappointed about painting a tree . So which brush I should buy , a bristle flat brush or a fan brush ?

    1. @Art of John Magne Lisondra thank you sir , because of you only I have learned to make clouds and mountains. Thanks a lot .

    2. Hello Disha, just practice... You wont get it on first or 2nd try. You need more attempts to make it better

  3. I love this tutorial for comparing fan vs older/newer flat brush. Because I have hard time with fan for trees and want to try my old flat bristle now. You are very kind & I really appreciate your help💗💗💗

  4. My colors are looking dull as compared to yours, whats reason??
    And are you adding pure water or with gloss??

  5. I love your videos because I learn so much from you. Thank you for doing this. I think not a lot of people explain the techniques like you.

  6. First time seen your video, and i just love the way you talk it's so soothing ,relaxing also great painter keep up the good work.

  7. New subscriber here.. you are amaizing.. I'm a complete beginner it would really help me alot if you tell us the names of the colour.

  8. I love the flat brush. The fan brush makes a mess sometimes , but with you I don’t see this. Booth are great even if they are a little bit different

  9. Thank you for this demonstration between the two brushes. I like both the flat and fan brushes. Another thank you for telling us all not to throw away a worn flat brush! 🌹🌹🌹
