Opus Oil Fan Brush

As a student of acrylics, I thought I wanted a stiffer fan brush than the one I had. Turns out, I was wrong.
There's a reason most artists who paint with acrylics prefer synthetic brushes. It's the way they hold and load paint. The way acrylic flows from synthetic brushes. The way natural brushes hold and load paint is very different.
I know I will love this fan brush once I start painting large canvases, like the 16×20 I recovered and will repurpose. It's far too big for 9×12, holds too much paint for a small canvas.
But I am learning.
There's nothing wrong with this brush. It just doesn't suit my purpose, yet. But it will eventually!
