what type of brushes not brands

I see alot of topics about which brush is better, but my question is what type of material on the brush works better. For example i see theres nylon, i saw camel hair today and then synthetic. I do not know which one will work better than the ones i have. What are you'lls made up of? Because i think that might make a difference not too much on brands really.
Thanks

You need to go back to your store and read the desciptions given with the brushes......all brushes do not work in all paint mediums i.e. a brush meant for oils will not work for water ccolors. As with brands it will be trial and error as far as what you feel works best for you. I have a variety of natural sable, synthetics, and natural/synthetic blends.

Sorry to say there's no one magic brand/type. It comes down to individual preference.

I started out with kolinsky sables (round). They are a bit softer than synthetic and hold a nice amount of paint. You can get a good sharp tip on them for delicate work, even using larger brushes. I have gradually started using more and more synthetic brushes and shaping them into a flat "knife" shape at the end to "slice" my linework and I am really liking that technique now. Sables are not ideal for teardrops, so you may need at least one round synthetic for teardrops and round dots IMHO.

It really ends up be personal preference.

I like rounds in sable as I have more control over them. But like angles and filberts in synthetics as they stay stiffer and I get crisper lines.

I use rounds most of the time so have many in different sizes (00 to 8!) and they are pretty much all sable.

Thankyou for your responses, i guess now to keep practicing and hopefully some of the ones i have will work fine.

I like rounds for dots, tear drops, swirls & line work.
I like a short round for flower petals.
I like a flatbrush for onestroke painting.
I like a filbert for covering large areas, for making hearts & body painting.
I like a script brush for fanciful edges on butterflies.
I like an angle brush for tiger stripes.
