• Fine brushes: suitable for micro painting, outlines and very precise decorations.
• Dotting tools: used for dots, circles, floral elements and small details.

Micro painting brush FAQ

Which brush should I use for fine lines?

A fine liner brush is suitable. The bristle length depends on the length and type of line you want to create.

A short, fine brush provides greater control for outlines, small elements and precise corrections.

Can I use the same brush for Gel Painting and Art Pasta?

Only when the brush shape, bristle resistance and cleaning method are compatible with both products. For greater control, it is preferable to dedicate different brushes to different product consistencies.

Should the brush be cleaned with Cleanser?

It depends on the bristle type and the product used. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and avoid cleaners or solvents that are not compatible.
