Also, I've been told to use Sable brushes, but i've seen some people using white synthetic brushes too. Which are the best? (I won't be getting paintbrushes in my paint order, only locally)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245490/795344.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245490/795344.page GMT Questions regarding Foundation Paints (Brushes too)

I recommend you try out Foundations, they're decent for some things and not so useful for some other things. Mechrite Red is the one I couldn't do without, it's a lovely non-garish red tone on its own, and a good basecoat for reds and oranges painted over black primer. The paints' most annoying feature is that they can dry on the palette very quickly, so you need to bear that in mind when thinning them (a wet palette would help here, as would retarder).

Brush-wise, you're usually best off with natural hair, synthetic brushes have a shorter lifespan in my experience.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245490/795460.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245490/795460.page GMT Questions regarding Foundation Paints (Brushes too)
If you're getting your brushes at an art supply store- you can also pick up some 'Acrylic Drying Retardant' it slows the evaporation and keeps the paint wet longer (mind the finger prints!)

Or just on my palette? And what is a wet palette exactly? Sorry if these are obvious questions, i'm just new painting all together]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245490/795584.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245490/795584.page GMT Questions regarding Foundation Paints (Brushes too)
A wet palette is a fancy pallette that involves something like a sponge to hold moisture- and then you keep it in an airtight container when not painting. Its advanced kit, not something many mini painters really use. It good for people that hand mix custom colors and dont want them drying out. Otherwise, a regular palette works fine.
