Brushes

Where can I go online to buy good brushes???

 

[kefas]

maybe try here: google.com ?

 

[Skillmatic11]

thank you for your condescending reply. BUT I was asking people in the forums about GOOD QUALITY brushes, because I didn't know what to look for in a QUALITY brush since I just really started painting... and even if I GOGGLE brushes I'm not gonna take the word of the RETAILER...they're trying to move their product so why would they tell me if their product is below quality or not?

To really get a feel for a brush buying online is really iffy...... do you have a nearby art store?

 

[Skillmatic11]

yes...

 

[kefas]

yes yes yes
you have to go to the art shop with apriopriate painting goods and ask shop assistant about good quality & size brushes. i think gw brushes aren't bad but I bought brudhes in art shop in poloand mede from "red marten" (red marten is a animal and brushes are made from they "horsehair") i'm not sure can you buy in usa brushes madre from that material but you can try and ask in shop.
Dont buy online until you are sure brush is made from good "resistant" material. So consultation in art shop is good idea
you will gain experience with this subject so you will know what brushes are good and witch arent. maybe first try GW brushes
good luck & sorry for my language

I think the whole point skillmatic is trying to make is: Has anyone else brought any brushes for example online that they would recommend...........

In the end, it doesn't really matter what brushes you use, I use the cheapest ones I can get and I'm a pretty decent painter.

I can't recommend the pure sable brushes from EM4 Miniatures enough. They're simply superb.

They're also do a VERY fast delivery.

Don't buy GW brushes, they're overpriced crap.

 

[SethDrallitoc]

Agreed. Games workshops is overpriced asnd you will do better to buy a sable brush from any manufacturer. They keep their tips better.

So long as you know when to get new brushes, and throw away the old ones, you'll do fine.

 

[Skillmatic11]

Those brushes on EM4, how do I pay in Cold hard American cash??? :-D
