I've been learning to paint for a little bit now and I've just now noticed how awful my paint brushes are. My berzerkers sometimes will have random spots of red in gold parts because of a frayed brush touching that part. Any brush recommendations?

The most common recommendation you'll get is probably for Winsor & Newton Series 7 brushes, or any other kolinsky sable brushes as they hold their point really well. Like anything else that's good quality they're much more expensive than crappy synthetic brushes, but cheaper in the long run as they'll last you for years if you take care of them properly. You'll also find painting much more enjoyable if you don't have to constantly go back and do touch ups, due to the sloppiness of bad brushes. I'd recommend sizes 00 (fine detail), 0 (detail), and 1 (base coat); you won't need any other sizes for miniatures. Due to the fact that they hold a really fine point, some people are even able to use the size 1 for details and fine details. If you do get them, I'd also recommend getting a container of Master's Brush Cleaner & Restorer to use when cleaning your brushes, as it's fairly cheap, lasts a really long time, and will keep your brushes in good shape for years.

I've painted CMON rating 9 and 8 entries using synthetic brushes made in China from my local hardware store, costing 4 euros a package. So it's not always about brand and price, albeit on average it is.
However, they are probably the only 4 euro costing chinese brushes in existence that are actually good.
For taking care of your brushes, I'd recommend this.

It's not so much that the quality of the paintbrushes is different - after all, paintbrushes are pretty much the same wherever you get them from but for me, the benefits of paying a little more for a Winsor and Newton is that they last for much longer if looked after correctly. Synthetic brushes and cheap brushes do the job but you will find thy start to wear quickly - they lose their points and bristles become splayed whereas my W&N brushes are still going strong 2 years down the line with a fine point and no splayed bristles.

Kaolin sky red sable brushes. They don't break the bank, they last a good while, and they're just amazingly nice to paint with. Get a size 1 or so.

Don't settle for just any Kolinsky Sable brushes, many of them are just a lot worse than a Raphael 8404 or a Winsor and Newton Series 7.
I personally like the Raphael a whole lot more than the W&N, but then I only bought the W&N recently so I've had less time with it.
Considering the money we put into plastic, resin, other tools and paint, it just doesn't make sense to spend less than 10 bucks on a paintbrush, when that paint brush is the absolute best you can get.
Not just that, having a better brush helps you learn a lot faster too.

Offhand, are the Winsor brushes cheaper than the Kolinsky' ones? I noticed the Kolinsky models were fairly expensive last time I looked (it's been awhile) but I myself am not one of those painters who is ever likely to be Golden Daemon material. Something that does a decent middle of the road job at a reasonable price is probably more my speed than whatever is considered the absolute best of the best.
Also, are synthetic brushes only really good for drybrush work? I think the cheapy Royal Fine ones I have are probably synthetic as they don't hold a point for long, but I don't know how you tell.
Appreciate the info, this is a really good thread for me to learn from.

I would say, dont be afraid to buy a new brush every now and then.
I'm ok with paying less for a brush ($3-$5) and when it wears out, just buying a new one. I get the same results on my models and we all know you can find uses for your old brushes or just throw them away, burn them, whatever.
The important part is upkeep and watching for stray bristles.

Kolinksy Sable is a kind of natural hair (from the kolinsky.. surprise... it's a subspecies of weasel). If you take care of your brushes -- wash them out completely every time -- a set of W&N S7 brushes will last you a year with heavy painting, or even longer, if you don't get paint into the ferrule often.
As Morgoth said, don't settle for crappy brushes that are made of Kolinksy Sable (or claim to be). They aren't all made equal, for sure.
Synthetic brushes are really good for metallic paints. They are not really good for drybrush work, in my opinion. For drybrush, you want a stiff, short, coarse-haired brush, not a soft, paint-retaining long-haired brush. I highly recommend the Citadel brushes (they are cheap, effective, and last a long time).
Royal brushes work fine -- they hold less paint and they aren't a W&N S7, but they will certainly get a model painted. The problem is, if you paint to any degree, you'll go through them like crazy, because the tips kink (bend) after just a little bit of use. In the end, you'll pay way more and end up with a graveyard filled with brushes with bent tips. To do basecoats for my metallic paints, I use PMX synthetic flat brushes (they are $3 brushes). I use old W&N S7 brushes for detail work with metallic paints, or painting inner edges.

If someone tells you synthetic brushes are only good for drybrushing, they are wrong. ( Who came up with that anyway? ) You can use synthetic brushes for any technique you can use natural brushes for and get equal results. See my sig for some painted miniatures - all done with a synthetic, cheap brush. All techniques, all layers, everything.
As mentioned above, I think the main difference is how long the brushes last. Though my cheapskate brushes are still going strong after a year. However you can't go wrong with getting quality tools. Not half asmuch as you can when getting cheap ones. If one isn't an experienced painter, then it makes no sense to make things even more difficult by having bad tools. Therefore I'd also recommend you get quality brushes - just pointing out the claim "you can't do gak with the cheap ones" is simply untrue.
In the end the best brushes are the ones you paint the best with, no matter what.

How long do you find your synthetic brushes last? And do you use them with acrylics? That's the main reason I stopped using them, when using acrylics they just get frayed way too quickly, after just a few painting sessions. My Kolinsky sable brush (which was only $11 here in Australia, so really not much more expensive than the cheap synthetic ones) has lasted me for ages and still has a perfect tip to it, going on a couple of years now.
I have synthetics that I use for enamels and they work fine for that and I have a few old synthetics that I just use for getting paint out of tins and mixing and that sort of stuff where I don't care if they are a bit frayed.

I use synthetic brushes with acrylics ( I don't paint with enamels at all. ) My current set has been functioning a year. The reason however is the Masters Brush Cleaner & Preserver - with which I clean them. Can't recommend that stuff too much - it's amazing.
Back when I used to just wash my brushes with water they would only last a month or so.
The quality of synthetic brushes varies wildly. Most are indeed horrible, but not all of them. I found the set I currently use by accident and haven't found equally good cheap brushes from anywhere else. In these particular brushes I always check the package ( as it's transparent ) and since we are speaking of cheap brushes probably made in China, you know the quality will vary. I just pick the perfect condition set.
The good thing about these cheap brushes that I use is that they cost around 40 cents per brush, and you can sacrifice them for drybrushing and other brush-demolishing techniques to your hearts content, while simultaneously I can paint whatever techniques with them and they perform.
To the OP, as a general tip I'd recommend getting to know which type of brushes you like when it comes to stiffness also. Some enjoy painting with softer brushes, that "drag" behind you more as you paint. Others ( like me ) like the stiffer kind, which stay with you. Take note that different brushes of different manufacturers vary in this aswell. Both types have their advantages and a different feel to them.

Hot tip, after washing your brushes, suck on them for a bit, a little saliva helps keep it all together much more.

I think the varying quality is the problem I use soap to clean my brushes and the synthetic ones still die long before my kolinsky sable ones. Given my kolinsky brushes were only about 50% more expensive than an art store synthetic brush, they're a far better deal for me.

I've only used really cheap brushes from Pebeo Lotus (white polyamide bristles) and they last me for a really long time. I've used brush cleaning solution coupled with a brush soap to keep them bristles in good condition.
I always dip my brush in water every 3 minutes to prevent the acrylic paint from drying up quickly. You can use any type of brush for anything, the only important thing to remember is comfort. Make sure you're very comfortable with what
you're using. For me I prefer cheap synthetic brushes because of their snap, which gives them a very solid feel to the bristles akin to holding a pen. My advice would be to choose a brush makes you feel really comfortable and to invest in a
good brush cleaning soap/solution.

Synthetic brushes are also easier to learn on. As Whimz said, they have more snap, and feel more like a brush pen than a natural hair brush.
Natural hair brushes, on the other hand, hold more paint, and taper to a finer point. They have a belly (the part bellow the ferule flares out, before the brush tapers to a point), and holding more paint is useful for many techniques like blending, or simply painting more, and evenly, for longer without going to the palette.
On the other hand, it is also easier to overload.
Since paintbrushes are a deeply personal preference, I would just try them out, starting by learning with cheaper brushes. If you don't like natural hair brushes, no harm done.
Also, Citadel makes passable kolinsky sable brushes that work, but are not great. I dislike them because they are more work to keep a point on than S7, but they are certainly serviceable. You can see Duncan Rhodes on the GW youtube channel do some fantastic work using $5 Citadel brushes (but give him credit -- he has great skills).
This is worth taking a look at -- what goes into making a premium brush:

First off, listen to Talys, he knows a lot more firsthand than I do, I personally limited myself to reading a few dozen posts on the topic and making a few tests of my own.
Second, good brushes are about being good brushes, they have longer lives but that's a detail.
Here's why I prefer my Raphaël 8404 to every other brush I've owned, including a W&N 7 and many cheap (from 3-7 bucks, including Citadel) brushes:
They have more snap, much better control.
They start with a much better point
They keep that excellent point
They help you learn painting much faster than anything else, including synthetic brushes, because you're not learning how to adapt to a crap brush.
I think the synthetic brush is a great choice for liquid green stuff or other really dirty stuff you don't want your good brushes touching.
Either way to me it's really simple, you're spending less than 1% of what you are going to spend on miniatures, time, paint and tools on the one tool that makes all the difference, so why save any money there ?
I personally went on my Harlequins from squares of 4mm side with my old brushes, to 2mm with a bad kolinksy (artists watercolour W&N, not enough snap) to .7mm with a Raphaël 8404 #1, all in the span of two days so before I even got any experience with it.

Quite frankly I don't believe having a good synthetic brush or a good natural bristle brush will make any difference in the speed of someones learning at all aslong as both are of good quality. The main difference is how long they last ( and as a sidenote to that, quality synthetics last a long time just the same. ) I ordered the 8404 out of interest by the way since you highlighted it.
As a secondary sidenote, I think this topic should be in the painting discussion -section.

I had this same question just like you a while ago. At that point it was hard to find W&N brushes because of some ban, but I did find red kolinsky sable brushes from Rosemary & Co., which a lot of people on here were recommending because they believed the brushes were great quality and about half the cost of the W&N series 7 brushes. I bought some and I love them, but they are the first non-synthetic brush I've ever used. I got sizes 0, 1, and 2. The size 0 had a smaller point than any of the synthetics I found at stores and was plenty small enough for me to paint the finest detail that I wanted to paint. Also at about $6 a brush (even after shipping from UK to NY,US), they were pretty cheap compared to the $13 or more you'll spend on W&N.
So I suggest brushes from Rosemary & Co. on the basis that you will get a great first experience using natural hair brushes for a decent price, and if you turn out not to take care of your brushes as much as you should then it's not a huge loss. Think of it like your parents getting you a goldfish before a puppy.

No, that would be wasteful. They are simply shaved (around the inner thighs and up to the inner tail section) and then the hair grows back, were they can be shaved again for production of even more brushes.

Yes, we lick butt-hair.
I can't say if some companies choose to kill the fawns, but since they're quite expensive to buy/breed/maintain, I would find it quite odd that they would go as far as to kill the fawns after they shave their "butt". Of course, I could also imagine that they shave the "butt" and kill/skin the rest for fur production for maximum profit and they keep shaving those who aren't matured enough to be used for fur production.

I tend to buy some of the cheapest brushes in bulk.
Use them til they fray and on to the next.
I don't mistreat my brushes, but I'd rather not worry about having brushes fray and spending a crapload on a replacement.

But no, the fawns are not killed due to production of brushes themselves (as far as I know, it's been a while since I visited a fawn farm). Automatically Appended Next Post: Squidmanlolz wrote:I tend to buy some of the cheapest brushes in bulk.

I replace my Raphaël 8404 series every 1 1/2 - 2 years. Try to multiply the costs of the number of brushes you spend (from lesser companies) and you'll see that they really aren't that expensive.
PS. I paint 2-6 hours a week, on average.
