It's also used for blending. And because it can hold a fair amount of water, it’s also great for applying washes of color. And lastly, because of its shape it’s perfectly suited for doing leaves, flower petals and bird feathers. However a cat’s tongue/oval/filbert designed for watercolors or gouache – a brush shape that goes by many names is very versatile. If you know what to do with it, it gives you way more shapes/mark making possibilities than a straight edged flat. When you're using either of the rakes you can choose to thin your paint depending on the effect you're trying to achieve. To get light texture just apply very little pressure. Don't overload the hairs with paint... the idea is to make sure that the bristles stay apart. Rakes are available in many sizes. Obviously a short liner will do great for small details like eyelashes. And a scroller will be ideally shaped for doing, you guessed it, scroll work. The team then 3D-printed a "cat tongue" at 400 per cent scale to help them explore this further. This revealed that both the cat tongue and the mimic were very good at cleaning and removing tangles in fur samples. “We also discovered that the cat tongue is self-cleaning so it’s easy to remove the hair beneath the spines by simply brushing the tongue from tip to end.”

The amount of pressure you apply during the pouncing or stippling will determine the overall look and color value of your painting. A recent study by researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Georgia, shed new light on how cats’ scratchy tongues enable them to keep themselves so clean: they’re covered with hundreds of sharp, tiny hooks called filiform papillae. The hooks, which are composed of keratin and give cats’ tongues that scratchy sandpaper feel, have built-in scoops that carry saliva deep into felines’ fur when they groom.

There are lots of watercolorists who live by these: John Hoar is the one that comes to mind immediately. He uses only a filbert xl plus a dagger. Svetlana Orinko is another.

Their subjects are worlds apart, techniques as well, yet they use the same type of brushes!

But here’s where the scientists made another breakthrough. A new brush You’re most welcome, Shirley. I don’t need them either, but that never seems to stop me from wanting them, buying them or trying them out. I do find a use for all of them at some point. And the point of painting for me is to enjoy it, so indulge! It’s a harmless and mostly inexpensive addiction. A filbert is a flat brush but it has a chiseled rounded edge instead of a straight one.

The researchers discovered that papillae’s orientation wasn’t fixed. High-speed videos of three short-haired domestic cats grooming showed that the papillae rotate as the cat’s tongue encountered knots in its fur. This rotation let the spike probe even deeper into the fuzzy snarl and ultimately work it loose.
