I always break out a new set of Winsor & Newton brushes for the Challenge. To me good brushes make a huge difference to the painting experience and I'm a big fan of W&N Series 7's.
SO here they are - brand new brushes in sizes 0, 1, 2 & 3
The size 2 tends to be the work horse
Oh we, we happy few, we band of Pigment Warriors.
Great post. I always find it interesting so see inside people's methods, tools and processes.
ReplyDeleteI put some W&N No7s on my Santa list after your recommendations last year
ReplyDeleteI really like them but you need to look for sales as they are, shall we say, "premium priced" Maybe they perform better over time because I really clean them well after every session (mostly because the cost so much)
ReplyDeleteCause / Effect?
Nothing like new brushes to get ready for the Challenge. Just make sure to "break them in" before using them in anger :)
ReplyDeleteI swear by my Series 7's. They are expensive but last several times longer than anything else I have bought. In the long run, they are value for money. Considering how much we spend on miniatures being mean with the cost of brushes doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
ReplyDeleteIt took me far too long to spring for a good brush, but now I can't bear to paint without my W&Ns. Also surprised at how large a brush I wind up using as well. I stick with a size 1, but it holds its point so well I don't have much cause to use a smaller brush.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your output for the challenge!
Yeah! Those brushes are the best I have ever had. Cheers
