Frequently Asked Question
We stock brushes from Warhammer Colour (Citadel), Army Painter, Artis Opus, and other leading brands, covering all sizes and types from basecoating brushes through to fine detail and dry brushes.
A beginner needs three brushes as a minimum: a medium base brush for large areas, a standard layer brush for general work, and a detail brush for fine work. A dry brush is also very useful for basing.
Synthetic brushes are more affordable and work well for most painting tasks. Kolinsky sable brushes like Artis Opus hold a finer point, carry more paint, and have better spring, making them preferred by experienced painters for detail work.
Rinse frequently during use, never leave brushes standing in water, clean thoroughly after each session with brush soap, reshape the tip while wet, and store flat or tip-up. Proper care significantly extends brush life.
A good mid-range brush like an Army Painter or Citadel brush is perfectly suitable for beginners. Investing in a premium Artis Opus brush makes more sense once your technique has developed enough to benefit from it.
