David Walker Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 From an article I found: "Artist brushes are usually given numbered sizes, although there is no exact standard for their physical dimensions. From smallest to largest, the sizes are: 10/0, 7/0 (also written 0000000), 6/0, 5/0, 4/0, 000, 00, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 25, 26, 28, 30. Brushes as fine as 20/0 are manufactured by major companies, but are not a common size. Sizes 000 to 20 are most common." So in reference to your question, 5/0 would be the same as 00000, etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
