Sizes 000 – 20 are most common Parts of a brush: Bristles Ferrules Handle Brushes
• Round: pointed tip, long closely arranged bristles for detail. • Flat: for spreading paint quickly and evenly over a surface. They will have longer hairs than their Bright counterpart. • Bright: shorter than flats. Flat brushes with short stiff bristles, good for driving paint into the weave of a canvas in thinner paint applications, as well as thicker painting styles like impasto work. • Filbert: flat brushes with domed ends. They allow good coverage and the ability to perform some detail work. • Fan: for blending broad areas of paint. • Angle: like the filbert, these are versatile and can be applied in both general painting application as well as some detail work. • Mop: a larger format brush with a rounded edge for broad soft paint application as well as for getting thinner glazes over existing drying layers of paint without damaging lower layers. • Rigger: round brushes with longish hairs, traditionally used for painting the rigging in pictures of ships. They are useful for fine lines and are versatile for both oils and watercolors. • Stippler and deer-foot stippler: short, stubby rounds • Liner: elongated rounds • Dagger looks like angle with longish hairs, used for one stroke painting like painting long leaves. • Scripts: highly elongated rounds • Egbert (Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paintbrush) Artists' brush bristles

• Color theory is the collection of rules and guidelines to communicate appealing color schemes Color wheel
A color circle based on three primary colors Red Yellow and Blue Color wheel
Sir Isaac Newton in 1666 invented the Color wheel
• Primary Colors (3): Red, Yellow, Blue • Secondary Colors (3): : Orange, Green, Violet • Tertiary Colors (6): Red-Orange, Yellow-Orange, Yellow-Green, Blue-Green, Blue-Violet, Red-Violet Color temperatures
Cool Colors: Red, Orange, Yellow Warm colors: Green, Blue, Purple Neutrals: Black, White, Grey, Tan, Brown Color models
CMYK & RGB • CYAN, Magenta, Yellow: applies to painting & Printing • Red, Green, Blue applies to computers, TV’s and electronics Color Properties
Hues: How it appears Chroma: How pure is the color does it have additives? Lighting: How pale or saturated the color appears. Adding black darkens the color Adding white lightens the color Adding grey makes the color tone less likely to look pastel Color Harmony: Arrange colors so they are pleasing to the eye Color harmony
Color Harmony: Arrange colors so they are pleasing to the eye Complementary color schemes use two opposite colors on the color wheel. Monochromatic color schemes use three different values of the same color. Analogous color schemes use three adjacent colors on the color wheel. Split complements use a color and the two adjacent tertiary colors of its complement Triadic color schemes use three evenly spaced colors on the color wheel. Tetradic color schemes use two complementary pairs.
