Indian sable/ badger/mongoose is very satisfying to paint oils and acrylics. These brushes are ideal for portraits, including wet and thick applications. They are highly recommended to all oil painters. A little courser than sable and not as expensive. They offer greater control and spring (European sizes. i.e. size 12 is equivalent to English size 6).
A bright has a short flat ferrule but with square end. Shorter hair length than a flat. To make distinct definite marks.
