It's cheap, the 2.5 oz cake will last you for years, and it will vastly extend the lifespan of your brushes. While you're getting your brushes, also pick up a cake of brush cleaner and use it regularly. What you don't want is a brush that's too skinny, that frays out at the tip, or that dumps all of its paint at once the moment you touch the model. I also like a lot of snap (how quickly the bristles return to parallel when you pull it away from the model) in my brushes, but that's a personal preference thing you'll have to experiment with. What you're looking for are brushes with good belly (the widest point of the bristles a brush that's too skinny won't hold enough paint), a fine point that holds together when wet, and good spring (how well the bristles stay together when you press them to the model you don't want them to splay out). We'll talk about drybrushes in a minute.Īny art store worthy of the name will let you test brushes. You need three: A Size 0 for fine detail work, a Size 1 or 2 as your workhorse, and a Size 3 for basecoating and washes. Skip these for now you are going to ruin your first set or two of brushes, so don't waste the expensive ones while you're learning.Īs far as sizes go, Citadel and Army Painter and whoever else will tell you that you need a complete set of seventeen different brushes in eleven sizes and six sha- that's all bullshit.

Look to pay ~$5 per brush here.Īt the top end of the market, you have lines like Raphael 8404s and Winsor & Newton Series 7s there are way, WAY better than Citadel, but they're also much more expensive. There are a bunch of good brands out there that can be gotten for a LOT cheaper than Citadel: daVinci, Escoda and Princeton are all good places to start, but basically any art store brand will be fine. What you want to look for are natural hair round pointed acrylic or watercolor artist brushes.
