It has been observed that choosing the right brush is very important in order to fulfil all quality aspects that should be taken into consideration when planning a retouching project. This paper endeavours to provide comprehensive information about the history, examination and evaluation of brushes. It is aimed at all conservators who purchase brushes for retouching practice, with the objective to determine which are the best ones currently on the market. This study demonstrates that the shape and size of the brush must fully correspond to the technique and method of retouching, in order to obtain optimal results. The article is written by two investigators from different countries, Portugal and Croatia, who share their own personal retouching practices.

They researched on the history of the Volte Face – Contemporary Medals group and the experimental work developed in the study of medallic art. This experimental path led to the appearance of medals with different shapes and sizes, craft in materials of different origins, namely organic (wood, honeycombs, parts of animals), synthetic (plastic, acrylic, wood panels) and inorganic (ceramic and metal), whose characteristics have revealed themselves as a challenge for the acquis conservation and packaging.
