paint brushes
Different types of paint brushes are used for various projects. There are brushes for painting pictures, other brushes for painting walls or trim. And brushes for craft projects are usually very different from the ones used to paint large areas, like walls.
When painting large areas, like a wall, paint rollers and paint sprayers are alternatives to brushes.
