Reply To: Miniature paint brushes – What do you recommend?

I discovered Pro Arte Renaissance brushes (I think it’s their water colour range?) – the ones with the green handles. One of their number 2 brushes does about 90% of all my painting now – even on 15mm stuff.

Nice big belly to hold lots of paint, keep their tip for ages, an absolute joy to paint with.

W&N Series 7 are really nice to paint with too – but they are really expensive and don’t actually hold all that much paint (their profile is more like a “cone shape” rather than the stereotypical cartoon paintbrush shape). A big brush with a big belly and a sharp point is far more enjoyable to use than even a W&N with a tiny point but you have to keep going back for more paint every few strokes!
