These three kinds are introduced below.
1: circular brush
Round head is a necessary watercolor pen for beginners. Round-headed brushes can also be divided into two types: those with slightly blunt tips and those with sharp tips. A slightly blunt nib can be used for coloring, and a round-headed brush with a nib can be used to describe various shapes and draw fine lines. Whether it is fine lines or large-area coloring, a round-headed brush can complete it.
