In my opinion, the "fanbrush" is the most versitile,you can blend with it, there is usally a couple of sizes to choose from, a small and a large, you'll have more control with a small.This brush will make wave's, tree's waterfall's, cloud's,mountain's, rolling hills grass,palm's, stone's, pretty much anything that has to do with nature,and you can paint whole paintings with this brush alone.

You can use either a synthetic or natural bristle, like a china bristle brush for an oil based paint. You can only use synthetic brushes for water based paints as they will cause natural bristle brushes to swell.
