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.

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

Bristle and fan brush are both good

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