Thank you. For small paintings I have been using Lowe’s Cornell mini mops which are excellent for softening edges and Langnickel sky wash for larger areas of blending but I see a lot of people using and blending with sable and I haven’t found ones I like yet, as I heretofore haven’t painted with sables; only use them for blending. I did buy those make up brushes you recommended a while back and they are excellent thank you for the tips on these other ones. I think I would like to find something synonymous to my Langnickel 1357 sky wash which is a 3/4 inch brush and try to get it in a larger and smaller size for various applications. The hairs on it are so soft! And actually those makeup brushes you recommended are the closest I’ve seen so far to its blend ability. Thank you for the suggestions the only other sable I might be looking for might be one for portrait work specifically.
