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.

  3. Thank you John I have one of these but havent used it as yet............ your encouragement is much appreciated!

  4. I think they both look great but the give a different type of tree and bushes. The flat brush seems to pop more and maybe a little more realistic

  5. Thank You so much for this tutorial! This was very kind of you to take the time to help others 🙏👌👍🏻

  6. I use the flat brush as well. I dont like the fan brush that much. Ive bought and tried different brand and kind of fan brush but i always end up using my flat bristle brush.
