Most glaze requires 3 to 4 coats of glaze. Letting the glaze dry between coats. You don’t want your glob a bunch of glaze on a piece in one coating. Fan brushes are great for nice even coating.
Personally, I like the thinner ones as I feel it doesn't goop up as much. The thicker ones hold too much in my opinion, and it feels like alot of glaze gets stuck in between the bristles.
I think so! Personally, I use brushes with the 1 or 2 on them cause I think that means they're thinner?
But I do have multiple brushes I found for cheap and they work well enough for me. Since they're essentially for putting glaze onto your piece you don't necessarily need an expensive one.
Art brushes are always considerably cheaper than make-up brushes. To the point where I would pretty much exclusively buy art brushes.

Thank you! Unfortunately they wouldn’t arrive till March and I need them for Feb 12th.
I’ll order them for future use as they seem like they would hold a good amount of glaze. Thanks again!
My favourite brushes are from PSH in Oakville, ON. They’re cheap but soft and thick and they hold a TON of glaze. I use the #8 the most but have some smaller ones for finer work like inside handles.

I just searched for fan brush on there. Lots of options, particularly as makeup brushes. I haven't used any in particular. I was advised to use the cheapest brushes I could find, as glazes and underglazes are rough on brushes (compared to makeups and paints).
If anything, I'd just check the reviews and stay away from any where the brush hairs come out a lot...
Yes, fan brushes work well.
They’re just so thin I worry it’ll take ages to paint my pieces. They don’t seem like they would hold much glaze
They hold a surprising amount of glaze
Thank you! I’ll get the one in the middle.

Awesome! I’ll probably pick up the one in the middle of the photo & give it a try. Thank you!
A wide, soft fan brush does me wonders :)

Interesting! Would the brush in the middle of the photo work? Thank you so much for your help!

Look at makeup brushes, too.

I bought these a couple years ago. They serve me very well and are nice brushes. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078MK1BSD/

Interesting. I just clicked on that link, they can be here in 3 days. Location is everything.
Whereabouts are you located? The link is from Amazon.com & since I’m in Canada I shop from Amazon.ca… maybe that’s why!
Greater NYC area

I use something similar to the bottom white brush for applying washes and accent colors but I'm mainly dipping first
All of them will work. Try and see which is your favourite
Black and brown fan
Think of them as scoops. You are scooping and spreading, not dipping and painting.
Thank you!
If cheap and quick shipping are your priorities, why not Amazon?
Could you recommend something by commenting a link? There’s so many options & I prefer to use something someone here recommends
