okay so here's another quick little paint question.

I picked up some brushes last week in sizes 2, 1, 0, 00, and 000. Even I can tell that a no. 2 brush is larger than a no. 000 brush and that the latter should be used for fine detail.

But which one gets used for dry brushing, or does it not really matter too much?
