Tools intermediaries between mind, hand, and the materialization of concepts, they are composed of three parts:
Anatomy of a brush:
-THE HANDLE OR THE HAMP: Most
often lacquered wood, still long, the artist is taking away from its support, unlike the techniques of water.
-THE RING:
(Small circle of hollow metal, flat or round it as often plated to prevent corrosion, it keeps the hair brushes and paint brushes to the handle) made from brass, aluminum, iron -White-...
HAIR: The tuft-
: absorbs the paint to release it gradually, composed of natural hair or synthetic fiber or mixed.
-Root: is the area where the bristles are inserted into the sleeve. The flower-
: tip sometimes thin, sometimes pointed, depending on the nature of the hair. The thickest section being referred to as "belly".
Brushes can be hardness, flexibility, nervousness, spring (Faculty of hair to come back right after being bent), absorption varied, to be used for various purposes. SOME OTHER FORMS
(EACH AS A KEY DIFFERENT).
-FLAT: for funds and opaque parts, juices in the first phase of implementation, again.
-FLAT LONG: Providing material for the establishment of the masses, colors, money, solids, large keys.
ROUND: For expression details, contours, blending, finishing, buttons finest.
-SHARP: usually with a large reserve, used for blending, finishing and details.
-SQUARE: Short flat, the width being equal to the output. Long flat: the output is twice the width. It is used for funds, the solids but also for specific purposes.
-Filbert: The tip comes in the form of an arc, rounded front view and side view, for a more modulated performance, the models, again, finishes, glazing.
-USE BOMB IN ALMOND: used in the advanced stage of execution, for models, retouches, or finishes.
-BRUSH FAN: a flattened shell is used for blending, shading, glazing. LANGUAGE
-CHAT: with little paint is used for smear, or fade effects.
NATURAL HAIR (animal):
-Fine animal hair: Marten, Martret (mixture of fine), Polecat, Kevrin
-Extra-fine: Marten. THE MARTEN-
:
quality and from diverse, sable brushes, should have a place in any good offer. They leave no trace, what is called "look strung." Despite its price, Marten remains an essential brush to form a first paddle 100% made in quality.
-LA Kolinsky Red Sable: The most popular is from a small carnivorous animal of the family Mustelidae. The hairs are taken from the tail of the animal. The quality of his hair is perfect for work of precision and detail. It is extra fine quality, appearance fawn, red and gold has both: vigor, resilience, spring, strength and flexibility. Only fault its high price. Two grades of sable
:
-LA Kolinsky sable TOBOLSKY "the Rolls Royce of brushes"
is from a small animal living in the Siberian regions which are collected the hairs on the tail of the male, his hair is particularly resistant, this animal living in very cold regions.
the Kolinsky sable-HARBIN:
is from a live animal in northern Manchuria, in a milder climate than the Tobolsky, the hairs are shorter, thinner fur and less dense, resulting in a brush Flower shorter and less detailed.
Other red varieties martens exist, but less suited to long periods of cold, such as Korea, lower quality than the two mentioned above, but retains some qualities of flexibility and strength.
-Polecats:
Hometown Russia also known as "Marten Litis, the hair is gray or yellow glossy black, taken from the tail of the animal, they are of good strength, good absorption, but has less elasticity. The brush is mounted with a flat ferrule, is less dense tuft reduces the stomach. Often used for technical water (watercolor), however they can be used for oil.
THE BADGER: From
Mustelidae family as well, they have the advantage of having a nice tip and a larger diameter than the skunk. The color is usually gray or dark brown almost black.
-Kevrin:
A hair natural fiber that provides the extra strength of silk combined with precision and elasticity of the marten. A fine, natural, very oily and may be a good compromise to the marten.
-EAR OF BEEF:
A long-haired, strong and flexible, rather long, it is taken from the lobe or the bottom of the ear of the animal. Its color is red, sometimes brown or black. It suitable for all painting techniques, sometimes used to make imitation sable bristles'
-The mongoose (Herpestes):
The mongoose is a protected animal, it is a farm animal, hair from tail. Its fur quality color with red stripes, though inferior in quality to the marten, it is still used for its good qualities of finesse and control.
The pig bristles:
The flower is thicker than the fine hairs of marten. They have the advantage of "hold" the paint, and better suited to working in impasto. They come straight or "Mounted on Cambre" The hairs are arranged in the direction of their natural curvature, this particular mount preventing them from falling, the tips of the tufts being thus confined to the center.
-SILK STRAIGHT OR CURVED PORK: They are characterized
: firmness, elasticity and resistance although it retains the pasty material and allows shaping of the dough in a uniform manner. It is ideal for preparing the canvas, laying and placing funds in color.
-HOG BRISTLE "BEAUTIFUL WHITE"
Comes from the province of Chunking in China there are different qualities depending on the farms and the following treatments applied to them.
This natural fiber bristle livestock, benefiting from a strict selection of the origins of silk and a perfect preparation, these brushes provide excellent durability. They allow both to paint and paste to blur.
SILK-PORK: "HALF-WHITE '
animals are bred in Europe, including Germany, the hair is taken from the back of the animal during the winter and is fairly rigid, it must be treated. Boiled to soften, it is usually reserved for school or for beginners, with a high resistance to wear.
-SYNTHETIC FIBERS (appeared around 1975).
This is derived from polyamide and available today with a wide variety of interesting features, responding to resistance to wear, strippers, good flexibility. Sometimes these fibers are mixed with natural bristles. They are less expensive, highly valued for acrylic paint they are working increasingly to oil painting, though they may sometimes lack of finesse and each manufacturer's own fiber. They can be comparable to animal hair, however, remains lower their reserve.
NUMBERING:
Their numbering is not standardized
numbers are engraved on the sleeves, the highest designating the larger brushes. For larger, the width in mm corresponds to their actual width. For example: 10 / 0, (the finest), 6 / 0, 5 / 0, and so on ... 0, 1, 2 to 40, (the largest tuft of hair). But each brand, its own numbers, indeed, from one brand to another we found differences significant in size to a single number. (A No. 2 of a mark does not necessarily correspond to the number No. 2 in another).
MAINTAIN ITS BRUSHES: Brushes
must be thoroughly cleaned after each session. Rinsed in petroleum oil type "White spirit" and the soap with warm water and rinse, be sure to remove all traces of paint at the base of the shell, where residues remain and the we do not reach a good cleaning, you can use specific products sold in shops Gallery for cleaning. Do
never let the brush touch the bottom of the bath in which they were soaked, the end is damaged and would take a bad shape (curved). Once cleaned they can be kept the head in the air in a pot or if they are flat in a moist, lint-free cloth.
