I found that same dagger brush and love it... I just got from Princeton as well another brush that has only about 1/3 of the bristles going to to edge and the rest cut way down with no defined spaces in between. I have those same kind with the defined spaces that I was using for grass to save time but come out too thick. I hope these new ones will be the answer save time but still produce thin lines. Have you tried these brushes?
I love the Silver Brush Ruby Satin Synthetic S/H 3/8” dagger striper for detail work, but I believe the Princeton Select one in your video is double to triple less expensive than SBRSS, so I will be trying it soon. There’s no difference in that the Princeton Select is S/H and my SBRSS is S/H. I did notice that PS only comes in 1/4” and the SBRSS comes in only 3/8” and 1/2”. There is one brush by SBRRS that I have been wanting to try and that is the extra small Pointed Triangle brush which looks promising for detail work.Thank you for demonstrating all of the different brushes, Chuck. 🙂
I put superglue on my line brush to harden the end and left just enough brush sticking out so I can paint.. works just like a pen lol! Best hack ever, I’ve been using this technique for awhile now.
I often use the long thin nail-art liner/striper brush for my miniatures, I can get incredible details with it for 1:24 scale and even smaller. The longer bristles help keep the paint wet and can carry more paint to draw on.
I found detail rubber brushes to be very useful for me, especially with distant details like mountains and trees. It operates like a palette knife, but they’re shaped like normal detail brushes, so you have more control.
I have been trying to figure out for a while the best fine detail brush-and just by chance I recently bought this same Princeton dagger striper thinking it was cool and I could do some foliage or something. Fast forward today- working on a small sail boat in shadow in my picture and struggling to get the rigger lines right, and your video magically appeared on my feed. It's perfect- I feel like I just hit a jackpot-especially since this is over five years old. I need to go buy a lottery ticket. This is my lucky day :)
I binge watch a lot of painting videos however yours if one of my favourite,, you clarified something that i have been struggling a lot with, thanks infinitely that was incredibly helpful, be blessed
No question about it...You were born to do this! Not only to be an extraordinary artist, but an exceptional instructor. Your tutorials are amazing and so easy to follow because you have the "good teacher gene." Thank you sincerely for sharing so much! I leave these tutorials enthralled, excited about trying your suggestions, and ecstatic because I just learned something new THANKS AGAIN!
Very, very helpful. Thank you, Chuck. Please make more of these videos that just show brushstrokes and what the different brushes can do. I have bought so many brushes, but I'm not sure what I can do with each one specifically. I keep buying them, but wind up using my old ones that I'm familiar with because I don't really know what the new ones can do, or how to use them correctly.
I sort of do the same thing myself. I don't think brushes have that many unique applications, I end of using the same 4 or 5 styles in every painting. It's only once in a while that I stumble across something new that has a new style of brush stroke to it. But I'll keep this in mind thank you for the feedback!
Gee, one important thing I just learned in this video, is that if I first wet the brush and then pinch and pull the brush bristles I can get the fine lines. I’ve had the dagger brushes, but didn’t wet the bristles first, I didn’t get those real nice thin lines. Amazing what a little bit of knowledge can do! THANK YOU, CHUCK!
I bought something like a dagger striper, it needed to be useful for both acrylic and watercolor. The tip worked very well and made some of the parts of my work go faster. I really needed that since I have an upcoming exhibition. I bought a #0 size round for detail work a few months ago and the ends started curling in every direction after only a few painting session which was very frustrating. The dagger brush has saved me! Thank You!
After much searching, finally found a tutorial that was exactly what I was looking for. By far the best info, instruction and helpfulness on this subject. Thank you!
I got a set called microliners and was unhappy trying to do branches. I chopped brushes to reduce the hairs and still hated it. This was a GREAT video! The right tools help reduce the stress. Now to practice putting a consistent amount of pressure on the brush. Thanks Chuck, you always deliver quality content.
I have three different sizes of the dagger brush. I got them mainly for drawing fine lines like in still life paintings. Now I find I can do more with it. Thank You 👌💫💫💫
Thank you so much! I was at a difficult point in a painting yesterday that involved putting the detail onto the face of a pocket watch. I took your advice and like magic it was a success! Thank you again!
Hey Chuck (and everyone). I just bought one of these dagger brushes, and they are indeed GREAT!! I highly recommend you get one if you like painting wildlife, for sure
I'm a beginner and this video REALLY REALLY REALLY Helped!!!! i now understand the differences between liner tipped and round tipped and the disadvantages of the liners! thanks!:)
I bought that Princeton dagger brush after watching my this. It's a game changer! I had some dagger brushes I got at hobby lobby but the Princeton is brush is superior in every way. It paints hair thin lines easily. I love it!
have it ever happened to you that you like a video during the first 3 seconds? XD omg your smile gives such a great welcome and im to watch the entire video for that!
This is a revelation. I spent yesterday with a 00 that has all but died, trying to paint feathers on a hen. Not literally, that would be cruel. Lacking access to an art supply store. I took a 1/2" flat and cut it diagonally with scissors, then meticulously shaved it to shape with an Xacto blade. It's not perfect, and it won't do the job I want it to. But it produces some excellent lines and loaded with a main colour of viridian/lemon yellow for a spring green if you add a dot of viridian in the middle of the edge you get incredible effects as the colour moves down with each stroke. I love it. Now to travel the 30 miles to the art store and find some better shaped versions. 🎨👌😘
awesome..I have tried liners and fans and have the most epic struggles with fans. I want to like them. But I use the dagger and get such nice lines. I am glad to see you using them the same way, Chuck!
Thank you for your advice, I'm kinda new to painting and I had a set of brushes I didn't knew the use for. I was about to buy a liner brush but your video did save me from the extra cost, thank you lots, this was super helpful 💖💖
Such a helpful video, i will look for such a brush and try it out, until now i used a liner brush for those fine details. Cant wait for your video about that painting you are working at, it looks amazing just how it is.
I’m brand new to painting and I don’t own a single brush right now. (My sister got me hooked on painting this past Christmas. I painted my first painting at her house). I don’t want to waste money on worthless paint brushes just to get a huge stash. Im willing to spend a decent amount of money to get a few good quality brushes that are necessary. I’m about quality vs quantity. I learned the hard way in another expensive hobby. I had an entire room dedicated to the hobby. that wasn’t filled to the brim. It was my most expensive room in the house I’ve been researching the types of supplies needed before I go out to the store to avoid buying willy nelly hoping I got a good deal and the right ones. I’m so happy I found your UA-cam channel. I added your advice on paint brushes to my notes. Your painting are awesome !! I look forward to seeing more videos. Oh by the way.it looks like the dagger stripper paint brush would make for good brush lettering which is something else I want to learn. Got another question You said the dagger paint brush isn’t good for thick body paint. Can I just add water to thin it out to make it work or does that diminish the pigment too much?
Thanks Chuck! Very helpful in seeing that dagger in use, I had bought one awhile back because I too was searching for a better detail brush but I wasn't using it right apparently! Cleared alot up for me! Sometimes just seeing someone else use these tools in different ways can help so much!😊😊 💝💝💝xxx
Thank you. I was trying to do some grasses and sticks tonight doing W.O.W oil but my liner always gives me thick lines because it is an old Bob ross one. I'm ready to buy a new one and your video gave great detail. I'm informed now before I shop and will check out your links. Great video!
I'm definitely going to try the dagger brush. Wouldn't have thought of that for detail. Personally I use a liner brush but I use a LONG liner brush. The liner I love the most has hair that is about 2"long. You can load a lot more paint on it and it doesn't go all the way down to the ferrule and spread the hairs out like it will with a short haired brush. Honestly I used the smaller ones until I watched a video by Lisa Clough, at Lachri fine art, and she talked about using the long liner brushes and how much better it worked.
This dagger brush looks like it may be good for long hair. Some single hairs and bands that kinda look like the line at 15:40. I wonder if you can dip the front of the brush in a brighter and the back in a darker color
Hi Chuck. First time I watched your channel. Excellent content! I am not a person that paints on canvas and have a different kind of question if I may. I am a model railroad person building a fairly large HO scale model railroad. I do paint generic mountain type backdrops for my mountain style railroad (to add depth) and I do a fairly well with this type painting. Question: Would a fan brush be the best choice for creating very small (1/16" to 1/32") dots/specs?. I need to simulate the railroad roadbed (rock ballast between the railroad ties) on cork roadbed. I first paint the cork a medium dark grey and then I want to add (after the paint drys) very small lighter grey specs. This is to simulate the rock ballast between the ties which are usually a few variations of a grey color because not all the rocks in the prototype are exactly the same color grey. I tried to stipple the specs/dots, but I need a brush (or technique) that will yield finer and more detail with very fine specs. I hope this questions makes sense! Thanks and excellent job on your video. Phil NYC / Jersey Shore Area
Okay - I ordered a Princeton Dagger Striper after watching this video - I also got a #2 Princeton Pointed Filbert - if you haven't tried this brush - you are in for a treat. I would figure about 75 percent of my fine work is done with these two brushes now. Thank you for a great review!
Great video, Chuck. I have used many of the same brushes you've used to make my detail work, including having gone to the dagger, which seems to be the best at detail. I have also found that a good rigger brush works for making a fine line such as ship's rigging... not so good for grasses though.
Yah, George, I experimented a lot recently, to find my favorite brushes for doing fur, and a rigger is pretty much at the top of the list. The bristles are stiff enough that it's almost like you're drawing with the brush. I've also had good luck with the chisel edge of a good ol' flat brush.
These are some of the most helpful videos! Thanks for the info on brushes. I would love to see more like this. The philburt seems to be one of your favorites and I can't seem to get it to do what I need it too. If you get a sec I'd like to see this kind of video using a philburt. ..thanks Chuck! Awesome as always 😀
The Princeton Dagger brush looks like it works well. I have a set of fine detail brushes that were given as a gift. The name is so small on there I can’t read it. I do want try the Princeton brush.
Thanks, It's kind of difficult to use just a few brushes and think that you can be boss over the brushes. Just getting to use more than one or two brushes thinking that I can make them both work, that just ain't happening. I do believe that I've got every brush have shown me,I do believe in triplets. I appreciate you very much. I was getting very thick with my painting technique and thought if I just turned the brush on it's side, hey,TA'DA. NOPE, NO TA'DA. FROM AUSTIN TEXAS KAYE LEE ASTON AND THE UNSINKABLE MOLLY BROWN.
Thank you good sir. I took your advice and ordered a dagger brush. I’m new to acrylics and I’m trying to learn how to replicate animal fur. I’ll let you know how it goes.
HI, Chuck ; the best brush for fine details ; thank you for this superb explanation ,for the demonstration step-by-step ; cheers from one of your Fan Guy from st-hubert P, Q,
What's your favorite detail brush?? I'd love to know
Mine is a Ruby Satin silver angle brush.. But!!! I need one of these.. Lol
I found that same dagger brush and love it... I just got from Princeton as well another brush that has only about 1/3 of the bristles going to to edge and the rest cut way down with no defined spaces in between.

I use ivory daggers by Rosemary and co. They are fantastic.
@1142 Eat my Ass 😂 I have an arsenal of paint brushes too.. Lol but I don't have one of these yet... 😂
I put superglue on my line brush to harden the end and left just enough brush sticking out so I can paint.. works just like a pen lol! Best hack ever, I’ve been using this technique for awhile now.
Genius. I have this really cheap set of old brushes that I’m gonna try this on. Working on a guitar painting today that needs frets, strings, etc.
Thank you verymuch for the idea , in my case i iron slightly or trim the brushes
Awesome idea if I can get it just right 😂💜🛼😂
Brilliant! I’m going to try this!
That's brilliant 👍 thank you

that princeton works great for watercolor too
Love it! Just bought one of these about 2 weeks ago for the very same reasons. Great brush.
Love the Princeton daggers also like to use the Ruby Satin Angle brushes. Thanks Chuck.
I accidentally stumbled across this brush is a recent painting I’m doing. They are awesome. Actually really good for doing distant tree likes too.
thought this would be clickbait but this is probably one of the most useful art advice out here.
Saw this video and bought a dagger brush. BRILLIANT! Used it for trees and it is awesome. Thanks a million.
Love to hear that!!
That brush stroke looked like calligraphy...beautiful!
I guessed it would be a dagger brush! I just ordered one from silver brush limited. Excited to try it out.
Just picked up a dagger brush and see exactly what you were saying. It is amazing. Thank you for the suggestion.
Such a detailed video. I'm glad I found it cause I've been wondering how to make those "foxtail" grasses. TY for sharing this with us.
Thank you so very much! I'm going to order a couple of those daggers!!!
I love dagger brushes!

Brilliantly explained and reasons how some brushes are best for and how you found that the Dagger brushes are better for fine detail painting. Thanks
Chuck you solved my problem with detailed works. Now i learned a new way to complete my painting. Thanks from my deep of heart.

Hey /Chuck great lesson on liner brushes. Million thanks, Eve Rawlick. You're the greatest.
Nice presentation.. good work.. congratulations ..
The Princeton brushes are my most favourite brushes! I am now going to go get a dagger brush! Thank you thank you!💕💕💕💕
Recently descovered the same brush, blends very well too
awesome..I have tried liners and fans and have the most epic struggles with fans. I want to like them. But I use the dagger and get such nice lines. I am glad to see you using them the same way, Chuck!
I am now in the market for a set if dagger brushes. They seem very versatile
Thank you for your advice, I'm kinda new to painting and I had a set of brushes I didn't knew the use for. I was about to buy a liner brush but your video did save me from the extra cost, thank you lots, this was super helpful 💖💖
I love those powder blue handled Princeton Selects. I use the grainer ones, not flat but use it on it's side and it makes wonderful lines!!
Such a helpful video, i will look for such a brush and try it out, until now i used a liner brush for those fine details. Cant wait for your video about that painting you are working at, it looks amazing just how it is.

The tool doesn’t make the artist. Learn to paint with a toy brush. If you can control a toy brush you’ll know expensive brushes are not necessary.
Excellent tip ,am going to buy few sizes and start of. Thanks.
Thanks Chuck! Very helpful in seeing that dagger in use, I had bought one awhile back because I too was searching for a better detail brush but I wasn't using it right apparently! Cleared alot up for me! Sometimes just seeing someone else use these tools in different ways can help so much!😊😊 💝💝💝xxx
Just got a dagger, love it!!
Thanks so much for the video , I always asked myself what brush I should use for the fine lines .
I finally found a brush that can do hair. Thank you so much.
Thanks as always Chuck! I got your prinston scrumblers based on your other video which work great. Will get this one.
Watched this video, got the brush, I'm in love . . . its amazing!!! Thank you SO much for sharing your expertise!
So happy I discovered you! I watch your videos so much now. You are so great at teaching and OMG such a wonderful artist. Thank you!
Kafka Design Pinstriping brushes are my favorites
Thank you Chuck.
I'm gonna try this for eyeliner.
Thanks for sharing! I’ve been struggling with painting grass. I’ll definitely pick up a dagger brush.
Fabulous! Just what I need right now! Thank you.
Thanks for the tip! I was using new small flat brushes as well as long liners. This looks like it will work well with acrylics! 🙂
Thank you. I was trying to do some grasses and sticks tonight doing W.O.W oil but my liner always gives me thick lines because it is an old Bob ross one. I'm ready to buy a new one and your video gave great detail. I'm informed now before I shop and will check out your links. Great video!

Wooow im amazed at how similar the strokes are and how long the paint is lasting
THANKS I'll try this.Looks VERY INTERESTING!
I think I have some dagger strippers now I need to find them since I know the best way to use them! Thanks for your explanation!
For lines nothing beats a rigger!
Great demo Chuck. Love these videos as we can always learn something new. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!!!
This dagger brush looks like it may be good for long hair. Some single hairs and bands that kinda look like the line at 15:40. I wonder if you can dip the front of the brush in a brighter and the back in a darker color
OMG!!! this video just upped my line skill 10 fold, thank you seems inadequate, but thank you, Chuck
Thank you Chuck ! I appreciated the demonstration !
Sorry, Chuck, but i can't seem to find it. I didn't see a description below vidio
THANK YOU FOR DRAGGER BRUSH INFORMATION!!!!!!!!!!!!
TRY A PIN STRIPING BRUSH THAT BODY SHOP PAINTERS USE???
Great fine detail information helpful vidio.
Hi Chuck. First time I watched your channel. Excellent content! I am not a person that paints on canvas and have a different kind of question if I may.
I am a model railroad person building a fairly large HO scale model railroad. I do paint generic mountain type backdrops for my mountain style railroad (to add depth) and I do a fairly well with this type painting.
Question: Would a fan brush be the best choice for creating very small (1/16" to 1/32") dots/specs?.
I need to simulate the railroad roadbed (rock ballast between the railroad ties) on cork roadbed. I first paint the cork a medium dark grey and then I want to add (after the paint drys) very small lighter grey specs. This is to simulate the rock ballast between the ties which are usually a few variations of a grey color because not all the rocks in the prototype are exactly the same color grey.
I tried to stipple the specs/dots, but I need a brush (or technique) that will yield finer and more detail with very fine specs.
I hope this questions makes sense! Thanks and excellent job on your video.

Okay - I ordered a Princeton Dagger Striper after watching this video - I also got a #2 Princeton Pointed Filbert - if you haven't tried this brush - you are in for a treat. I would figure about 75 percent of my fine work is done with these two brushes now. Thank you for a great review!

Good video! (I think it's dagger as in knife or short sword.)
The best teacher of art is Chuck

What ive only known as caligraphy brush. But even a flat edge does that job too
That is my exact question for doing grass and tree limbs ..
Im just so not gettin paint to the canvas im so obcessed I watch so much like this my own perfections are holdon me back
These are some of the most helpful videos! Thanks for the info on brushes. I would love to see more like this.

Awesome tip! Thank you, Chuck!!!
I just happen to have this type brush!! Coz I'm an art supply shopaholic. Thank you for the "tip"
The Princeton Dagger brush looks like it works well. I have a set of fine detail brushes that were given as a gift. The name is so small on there I can’t read it. I do want try the Princeton brush.
Thanks, It's kind of difficult to use just a few brushes and think that you can be boss over the brushes.
Just getting to use more than one or two brushes thinking
that I can make them
both work, that just ain't happening.
I do believe that I've got every brush have
shown me,I do believe in triplets.
I appreciate you very much.
I was getting very thick with my painting technique and thought if I just turned the brush on it's side, hey,TA'DA.
NOPE, NO TA'DA.
