　　Oil brush: it is a special painting tool for oil painting. Generally, the brush is mostly made of wood and the brush is bristles. According to the shape of the head of the pen, there are 12 types of pen, such as round pen, flat pen, fan-shaped pen and brushwork, from small to big, they are 1#-12# respectively. In addition, there are some large-sized ones. The oil brush plays the most basic function in the process of oil painting. A handy brush can bring interest to an artist's work. The choice of oil brush depends on the painting technique. Different texture, shape, type of brush, its role is also different.

　　Maintenance method

　　The paintbrush should be soaked in warm water for 10 minutes at the end of each day with a detergent (household detergent is very good at cleaning the oil), but not to the penholder, which will soak the paint away. If the color of the pen root is not washed clean, it will accumulate over a long period of time, which will make the length of the pen hair virtually shorter. The second is to insist on washing every day after use. Rinse your brush thoroughly, squeeze water out of it, and wrap a newspaper in the shape of the brush to keep it fresh every time you paint (this is highly recommended and has been done for years).

　　Methods the choose and buy

　　The oil brush plays the most basic function in the process of oil painting. A handy brush can bring interest to an artist's work. The choice of oil brush depends on the painting technique. Different texture, shape, type of brush, its role is also different.

　　Texture and action

　　Bristle brush: mostly bristles, strong elasticity, strong strength. Coloring often leaves bristle marks and can pick up thick paint. Can rub, rub, brush, won't appear pen bristle to stick together commonly the phenomenon. Mostly used for thick brush texture painting.

　　Brush of sable or badger hair: it belongs to the advanced oil brush, with moderate hardness and soft texture. It is soft and even when painting, without any trace of brush strokes. It is suitable for the detailed description of the picture. Squirrel hair, monkey hair oil brush also belong to the soft brush.

　　Cow hair and camel hair brush: belongs to the soft oil brush, mostly used for cover color.

　　Artificial brush: with ermine hair, badger hair and other advanced brush characteristics. The artificial wool can be used to make brushes of different shapes, which can be used for soft local colors and fine details. But it can not be put into water immersion, its hair in the water easily deformed.

　　Shape and action

　　Round brush: the oldest type of oil brush. It has a blunt nib, which can be used to create softer strokes; The small round paintbrush can be used to draw lines, while the side brush can produce a large area of fuzzy color halo, and can also be used for the paintbrush.

　　Flat head brush: flat body flat head brush did not appear until the 19th century. Used for making broad, sweeping brush strokes; You can draw a rough line on the side of the flat head. Turn the pen body to use the drag-and-sweep pen, can appear uneven strokes.

　　Hazel paintbrush: flat body round head, also called "cat tongue pen". Both round head, flat two brush characteristics, but difficult to control. It is a more elegant and fluid brush for curvilinear strokes.

　　Fan brush: belongs to the new special oil brush, brush hair sparse, flat fan. Used in wet painting to lightly sweep or brush, or to soften too sharply defined Outlines. This brush is often used by painters who prefer thin drawing. When using a fan pen, you must keep it clean or it will hinder its dexterity.

　　Type and function

　　The relationship between brush type and purpose is the most explicit. Large brushes are usually used to make large textures and paint large color blocks, while small brushes are usually used to draw fine lines and color dots. Brush models sold on the market are not uniform, different brands, texture of the same type of brush is very different. And the classification of the model is not the same, there are 0 ~ 24, 0 ~ 12, 0 ~ 16 and so on. Bristle and other hard brush sizes and models are complete, sable and other soft brush generally do not have a large pen, and fan brush (mostly for the mane or artificial hair) no small.

　　The thicker the drawing, the better for a hard pen. We can use bristles for the thickest and driest ones. If it's as thin as a watercolor, use the softest pen you can: sheep's hair. Common gouache if not very thick and dry, suitable for use.

　　Beginners generally prefer a hard pen, such as a bristle pen or a nylon pen, for easy molding. But these two kinds of pens are not good at absorbing water and attaching pigments. Can only draw short strokes. Generally speaking, the hardness and water absorption of lupus are relatively balanced. Best for use.

　　I've seen pens that mix wool with nylon wool. So that it has both water absorption and a certain degree of hardness. But it seems that the pen is easier to open the fork. I don't know if it's an isolated phenomenon. Recently I've seen a pen that appears to have been mixed with a fine bristle and a sheep's hair. No matter the hardness, hydroscopicity, the bristles are completely perfect.

　　Nylon pen water absorption extreme, hardness is very high, if not for the extremely flat pen touch, otherwise it is not suitable for gouache. The nylon pen was not invented for painting. It seems to have been invented for smooth brush strokes in renderings. The original pursuit of a picture is to enrich the change, the brush is too neat easy to appear rigid. Add bibulous need to dip in pigment repeatedly bad, affect to draw a picture smooth.

　　The penholder is made of wood, and as long as the penholder is soaked in water, almost without exception, the patent leather will crack and fall off. I have seen someone wrap up the penholder with sellotape. It seems to be effective, but it is not very beautiful and affects the feel. The bamboo pole will not lose paint but will crack. Only plastic rods don't crack, but they're too heavy and slippery for the average person to like. Perhaps future hollow frosted plastic rods will be perfect. At present the best use is still a wooden pole, as long as the minimum bubble in water can delay the crack of the paint.
