Face Painting Round Brushes

Picking a size

• No. 2 to No. 4: dots, small stars, whiskers and outlines
• No. 6 to No. 8: cheeks, noses and small shapes
• No. 12 and up: filling large areas quickly

A round brush comes to a pointed tip, which is the main thing that separates it from a filbert brush, whose rounded flat edge is built for softer blending rather than a crisp point. If you paint teardrops and petals more often than dots, the petal brushes page has a shape built specifically for that.
