Hi, Royal Icing Diaries, Kim Coleman talks a lot about paint brush choices in this recent Cookier Closeup: http://cookieconnection.juliau...-in-the-truest-sense
Though I would also be super interested to hear what others have to say!
I like using soft bristle brushes, no particular brand, synthetic or natural. The technique I use in painting cookies is so similar to china/ porcelain painting which also requires a fine soft bristle to make smooth strokes and allow for nice blending of colors. A brush that maintains it's form is also good. FYI, a nice way to check a brush for that is dip it in water and flick the brush against your hand to shake off the water...if it held that perfect form, it's a nice brush! Hope this is helpful.
By the way....Kim's work has been a real inspiration for me to pursue cookie painting.
