Reply To: Advice on starter painting sets (& brushes)

If you haven’t already, look up James Wappel on YouTube – he paints ~80% of a figure with dirt cheap size 8 brushes (I’m not kidding). He only pulls out a detail brush for final touches. It completely altered my painting style and allowed me to paint much faster and with better results – meaning I also enjoy painting much more.

There are plenty of cheap synthetic brushes available through Amazon, AliExpress etc that hold a point as well as (or better) than more expensive brushes. The larger size keeps more paint on the brush, meaning there’s a lot less back and forwards to get more paint.
