Round brush heads are used to paint detail, using the tip of the brush; lines can be thickened by putting pressure on the brush. Fan-shaped heads can be used wet or dry. When used dry, it is useful for shading. When wet, this shape can be used to produce streaked effects, as in grass or trees. The round pointed shape is used to paint details. The thickness of the stroke can be varied by the pressure applied on the head.
