How do I know what size brush to use?
There is a common misconception that you should use a small brush for small areas. Because we like to add shading to our stenciling, we will typically start with our base color and a large brush. By using a larger size brush you can work faster. It holds more paint, thus reducing the number of times you need to reload the brush, and by being bigger you get more coverage instantly. We will then shade our cut out areas with a medium brush and a slightly different color. Then we move onto our final shading with our darkest color and small brush.
To summarize:
Base all areas with light color and large brush.
Add first shading color with medium brush.
Add second shading color with small brush. We are happy to consult with you on the best brushes specific to your project, please call us at 877-813-2593, or email us.
