Brushes:
Sable brushes are the best, but they come in varying qualities. You should buy as good a brush as you can possibly afford. The three sable brushes I suggest are a 1" flat, a Number 10 round, and a small, Number 3 or Number 4 round. The numbering of brushes seems to differ from one manufacturer to another. For example, the Winsor & Newton Number 8 is approximately the same size as the Grumbacher Number 10; the smaller sizes differ correspondingly. Investigate the differences yourself, and choose the brushes you feel most comfortable with.
