Hi, I was wandering if anyone here could help me find a good brush that's not tanglable, is very smooth, sort of like a marker in a way, or to make it easier, does anyone know where to get a brush like Mark Crilleys? Also reviews on winsor and newton, grumbacher, or any other good paints? I'm a beginner and need advice, please, I appreciate it! By the way, I am very ignorant of the termonologies and brands for any art supplies and am currently buying supplies, any names and reviews associated with them would be greatly appreciated!

Hey, I'm still not great at knowing all the stuff but, here's a few things I've realized...
One, don't buy cheapo brushes. You have no idea how annoying it is to pick out hairs over and over again off of your painting...
I find it convenient to have a few of the same brush for each type you get. Less cleaning and fussing while you're painting. Like, a brush for lights, darks, or however it is you wanna work. It's nice not to have to fiddle so much with things that aren't you putting paint on the canvas...
And, I'd have an area setup, everything laid out for you and ready to go. I used to waste so much time getting stuff out, putting it away, and, you're a lot more likely to get painting if you can just sit and GO! and not fuss around with pointless things again.
I suppose I'm a fan of figuring out organization and work flow. It really does make a difference. Especially for a procrastinator like me...

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it, I was considering buying brushes from the 99 cent stores, yet... ehh..
Good idea! I should buy more brushes of the same type, thanks for the suggestions for using them for different things!
I just wish I knew where to buy them from.
