RMweb Premium Hal Nail Posted May 3, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 3, 2022 My trusty old faithful has got too clogged up to use and everything else I've bought recently is too stiff to flow paint on. Can anyone recommend good brushes and where they get them please? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hibelroad Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 I’ve bought from Hobbycraft for several years, a good selection and you can pick those which seem most suitable. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Wellyboots Posted May 7, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 7, 2022 I have several brushes from the Daler Rowney Aquafine range, which I find very good to use with acrylics and enamels. Widely available from art shops and places like Hobbycraft. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Smith Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 (edited) I only use acrylics. Acrylic paint dries fairly quickly so thoroughly cleaning brushes frequently during extensive painting pays off for brush life, plus of course when changing colour or finishing. I always rinse brushes in clean water then work them into my palm with some washing up liquid or hand soap. Flat brushes of various sizes work best for me both for model painting and art. Good for smooth covering and clean edges. Edited May 7, 2022 by Jeff Smith 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Hal Nail Posted May 7, 2022 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted May 7, 2022 Thanks all. My trusty faithful was about 25 years old to be fair 8 hours ago, Jeff Smith said: Acrylic paint dries fairly quickly I'm told a wet pad is worth making for acrylics but haven't tried it yet. Thanks for all the tips re brushes. I think my old favourites were just Beatties own or Humbrol but they were a cut above the average ive come across recently.
