Default Paint brushes

I am trying to find some good paint brushes that are very detailed that don't have much brissils (idk how to spell that.) I have brushes that are 10/0 but are not very consistant. I will try to paint near the edge of the jersey and a brissle will slip and mess up!!!!! I want some consistant brushes that are very fine deatailed that you guys would use. Also how do you paint through some parts of the body that are basically unreachable? What I am asking is, what brushes would you guys recommend me to use.

Default Go shopping

Michael,

Get yourself to a good art supply/arts and craft store (Michaels, etc...)

Go to the art supply section and look through the brush selection.

DO NOT buy a pack with 3 or 4 different sizes. You don't want to cheap out on brushes.

Winsor and Newton, Grumbacher, and others all make some very fine artists brushes. The ones for watercolor will be the place to start.

When painting clean the brush often. And while at the store buy a small container of The Masters brush cleaner. Use it each time after you clean your brush. It will clean and condition the bristles.

Take good care of your brushes and they will last years - I have some still doing good work that are well over 15 years old and have handled all kinds of paint over the years.

Have fun.
