This week we go on and on about paint brushes... It may not be glamorous, but it is important! We'll discuss different sizes, styles and kinds of brushes, as well as that age old question: Synthetic or Kolinsky? I'll also be discussing some specific brands I've had success with.
Video chapters provided so you can skip around to the topic that's of most interest to you.

I’m so glad that someone is finally honest about kolinsky brushes. It’s an absolute lottery.

@user-ey4ik3sb3u Год назад

Oh boy. We have someone speaking the truth. It's worse than lottery. I was even thinking of going back to synthetic brushes

@RAWxxx07 Год назад

And I was wondering what I did wrong, since mine lost its tip, after a single night, although I watched out for all the maintance tipps regards Kolinsky Brushes....

@WeOnlyEatSoup 24 дня назад

As an amateur painter in the hobby game, I really appreciate this video

@uneed2calmdown912 3 месяца назад

Holy, this video was super helpful. I am new to the hobby and bought a few kolinsky brushes that split after the first use. I searched all over for what I was doing wrong. I didn't realize it was such a lottery.

@samposter7139 Год назад

You are my new painting guru! Your videos are great for newbies like me. I’ve been painting for a year, I’m not terrible but getting to that next level is proving difficult. Your videos are helping me though slowly! Please keep them coming

@WrathofMinis Год назад

Wonderful! thanks so much and thats why we are doing these videos and it means a lot to hear it!

@ericbryan6825 Год назад

One of the best brush vids out there. Facts.

@rustedbeetle Год назад

Great presentation and coverage. A good follow up would be brush care and feeding.

@WrathofMinis Год назад

Thank you very much! and yeah you are right about that being a good follow up video. I kind of wished i had done some maintenance in this video but alas.

@selkieofthesea2664 Год назад

Ugh, yeah as a beginner I can confirm buying Kolinsky brushes and then they turn out to be duds is very painful. I have 3 Raphaels and one Windsor/Newton, only two are useable and really only the W/N is worth using for really detailed work. I personally use a fude Menso brush (synthetic) for fine details half the time because of it. I really, really recommend checking to see if smaller art shops have the Kolinsky brushes in stock, especially shops that specialize in watercolor supplies. You can then see the brushes in person to hopefully see if there is already some splitting, vs buying online. If you want to use makeup brushes for dry brushing: looks for Eyeshadow brushes (generally blending) or domed concealer brushes. The black-handled e.l.f brushes are great, and are all around $5USD. Springy and hold liquids well! For bent tips: I just gently trim with sewing scissors

@WrathofMinis Год назад

Thanks for the tips!

@johnsimeonidis7518 4 месяца назад

Thanks for the honest review! It actually has helped me greatly!

@Deleted_personality 3 месяца назад

Very informative, great video 🖖

@antronk Год назад

Finally! Someone giving some concise information and context to Goa the different types of brush . Thanks very much

@WrathofMinis Год назад

My pleasure and thank you!

@jasoncardoza7112 Год назад

Thank you for the wonderful quality of your videos. They are very clear, well thought out, and honest. I hope to see more beginner friendly videos like this one in the future. Cheers

@WrathofMinis Год назад

Thank you and yes we are planning on continuing to put out beginner friendly painting videos!

@DudeOnADualMotor Год назад

I haven't tried Windsor and Newton, but I do own all 3 sets of the Artis Opus brushes, and they are just fantastic, series S and D are great, I find with the series M they tend to dry out very quickly due to the small belly and bristle length, but I already had the series D and S so naturally I had to get M to complete the set lol

@HellfirePrime33 Год назад

Great advice for a beginner, thank you.

@WrathofMinis Год назад

You're very welcome!

@robertnesspor4007 Год назад

Thank so much for the video. Good info and well created

@WrathofMinis Год назад

Glad you enjoyed it!

@piotrcthlu Год назад

This is a very good content. Thank you mate

@WrathofMinis Год назад

Glad you enjoyed it!

@toadsicle1200 Год назад

Great video super useful. I ended up buying a set of S Artis opus brushes and they’ve been fantastic. I was worried about the quality control on W&N and when spending that much money I wanted something that would be very consistent.

@WrathofMinis Год назад

Im glad that they worked for you! I still have some working Artist opus brushes even though they are over a year old.

@richardrussell7082 10 месяцев назад

I recently bought the Army Painter domed drybrush set and got the Artis Opus water pot, with 5 extra sponges, separately 😊👍 Also, make sure you use synthetic brushes for metallics, washes and speed/contrast paints; these will kill a Kolinsky.

@user-ey4ik3sb3u Год назад

I have to add what others pointed out - I wish I could rewind back one/two years and watch that video there. I bought kolinskys and they were almost all shite and I didn't understand why. I went to da Vinci, Artist opus and even back to fkn citadel - until I got a batch from broken toad and wn series 7...boy oh boy is this video good. Thanks!

@WrathofMinis Год назад

Thank you so much for sharing we really appreciate it!

@basbaten Год назад

Great channel good vids... had to sub... greets from a fairly new painter in Amsterdam...

@WrathofMinis Год назад

Thanks and welcome man! Appreciate it!

@dang.9095 4 месяца назад

I recently bought some Da Vinci Kolinsky set with various brush sizes. The first brush I used had 3-4 hairs that were split from the rest and it couldn't keep a good tip either. Very disappointing. I hope the other brushes of the set are better. I was not aware that buying Kolinsky brushes is basically a lottery. 😂

@robertof.5283 Год назад

I have the same Problem. Synthetic feels "wrong" in the Painting. Can't describe it. The bristles are too hard but i don't "feel" the stroke. And the Hook..... Kolinsky are good. Own 2 W&N S7. They are good but Not Perfect for me. They are too soft. I want the bristles not hard but sturdy. If the brush bend to much i can Not Paint. Didn't find the Perfect brush. Thanks for your vid! Great content. Really helpful. Description is Safe 😊

@Stixs279 Год назад

I have started miniature painting again and loving it!! Purchased my first kolinsky brushes Raphael 8404 size 1 & 0 and Da Vinci size 1 and loving them and feel my painting has improved. I am finding to use my kolinsky brushes a bit more for the finer detail stuff but am currently looking for better quality synthetic brushes sizes 0,1,2 for my work horse day to day brushes. Anyone have any recommendations? Looking at Winsor and Newton Cotman series 111

@andreaalbanelli514 5 месяцев назад

hey hello, its not all, no one on youtube talk about how do you prepare a new brush, for someone really really really noob like me can make the difference, what i have to do with a brand new brush that ive just pull out of the box? how i can remove that stiffnes? i need only hot water? or i need to wash it with water? I know that is a dumb question but honestly i didnt know the correct answer :D

@mikee9464 Год назад

I'm not sure if there are just WAY more people miniature painting these days or if brush manufacturers are just very slow producing brushes....but I constantly find brushes out of stock through any and all manufacturer websites. Once in a while I can get lucky on Amazon, which is risky in and of itself.

@WrathofMinis Год назад

That it is!

@odgeUK 5 месяцев назад

FIrst W&N Series 7 I treated myself to was great, but I didn't clean it well and needed to replace it within a few months. 2nd one was terrible, wouldn't keep a tip. Switched to a Raphael 8404 and that too wasn't great. £20 spent and still don't have a replacement as good as that first W&N. It is a crapshoot, as the Americans say.

@rustedbeetle Год назад

Yes, Rosemary and Co make the Artus Opis brushes. You can buy the Rosemary version cheaper without the AO branding on the handle from Rosemary or a reseller. Their dry brush is made from goat hair and they work great. I guess the first thing I would tell a new painter is that if they walk into an art store and see rows of brushes. Almost all of these aren't great for miniature painting. Most brushes are for use on paper, canvas, rocks, faces, cars, etc. The brushes are designed to hold tons of paint and be durable enough to handle being drug across rough canvas. You can buy standard brushes for miniature painting, but you will struggle to use them. The adage of "right tool for the right job" works here.

@WrathofMinis Год назад

This is some great information!

@ashleybarrett8805 6 месяцев назад

You can't. The only one that is close is the R&Co drybrush and series D brushes You simply can't buy an R&Co branded brush with thr exact same specification of any S or M brush at less the price, they're completely different. I even have series 33 everybody raves on about them being the same, they're night and day to my S series brushes

@NatsurinChannel Год назад

Hi, I've been painting for a while now but I don't often use Kolinsky brushes. What does a failed Kolinsky brush look like?

@WrathofMinis Год назад

Really the main deal will be that it cannot hold a point when loaded with paint.

@C4P_10 Год назад

How do i keep them noice

@WrathofMinis Год назад

Masterson’s Brush soap really is thing to use.

@muurrarium9460 Год назад

Sable (farming) is considered cruelty to animals, and lot of minkfarms etc. are now being chased out of business (since those poor critters are very susceptible to covid and also are a potential source for new variants, so a healthhazzard) sable is only going to get more rare & expensive ... My art-teacher used shampoo & conditioner (I think he used the 2-in-1 variant) on the unruly brushes made out of animalhair. It sometimes works miracles!

@WrathofMinis Год назад

Interesting, thanks for the info!
