Reply To: Opinions on Artis Opus brushes

My honest opinion and I’m going to disagree with some on here is that the Artis Opus brushes are great if you are a good painter.

My wife done the last kickstarter and has just done the current one for the dry brushes, until she started using them I like many could not see why they were so highly priced. But after seeing the results she has got from them and also seeing and having a demo of the dry brushes at Salute, I have to admit they are worth it. But again they would be of no use to me as I’m not a good painter, but for my wife they are worth it.

I suppose what it all comes down to is, if you work with hand tools every day for your living then you want good quality tools that is going to last you. The same principle applies with your brushes. For me, I don’t paint that often and so the cost is to expensive, but if I painted regularly then I would invest in them.

Like any brushes though, brush care is very important, no matter how much you spend on brushes, if you don’t look after them then you will always be putting your hand in your pocket to replace it.
