Filbert
These brushes come with long to medium hair and generally have a flat and oval shaped end. They are perfect for blending. You can also paint rounded edges perfectly with such a brush. You can call this brush a combination of flat and round brushes- flat because filbert can be used for detailing and flat because it can be made to cover a wider area than round brushes can.
Fan brushes
The hair strands of fan brushes remain spread and they are generally flat. Detailing work like feathering, blending and smoothing can easily be performed with fan brushes. You can also use these brushes to offer textural effects on the canvas. If you are using acrylic colours, make sure you use a sturdy brush.
Angular flat (shader)
