This brush is shaped like the flat paintbrush typically used in Western art. It looks different from the brushes used for East Asian calligraphy. It's a good emoji to use when discussing art pieces or design projects.

Beyond physical painting, it's also used metaphorically to mean 'adding the finishing touches' or 'delicately refining' something. Using it to express the joy of creative tasks, like decorating a social media profile or designing a presentation, can add a sense of vibrancy.
