Rune_Priest_Rhapsody Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I got the new Chappy w/ JP Are the undersized wings separate bits? They are attached to the jumper. http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac194/Khyron666/IMG_2629.jpg I got three W&N Series 7 brushes for Xmas. I'll be putting them to use soon enough!!

LutherMax Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 Looks like the wings could easily be removed with a sharp knife, or you could just use a Sanguinary Guard pack if you wanted the winged pack for something else. @ Rhapsody, I absolutely love my W&N Series 7 brushes - they single handedly improved my painting no end!

Charlo Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 So I was thinking about some new brushes other day as mine are getting worn... What sizes do you guys recommend? I can't find a set of those on Amazon but I can order a few individual! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LutherMax Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 000 is good for eye lenses etc 0 is good for edge highlights and fine details 2 is good for general purpose. I'd start with those and fill in the gaps as necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are the three I have now. I did a bit of research on brushes, and the W&N came up often. The series 7, as I understand, are economical and high quality at the same time. You could shave off the wings on the Chappy jumper, but as suggested, you'd probably be better off biting out a sanguinary guard pack if you want a wingless model...

Charlo Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Thank all, that set is 0/1/2/3 so that seems the best to get :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted December 31, 2015 Author Share Posted December 31, 2015 You can use 3 for washes. You might want to get a 000 in future but you might be okay with just a 0. They all come to a fine point and, importantly, keep that point! Just make sure you clean them well after each use - it's well worth investing in some brush cleaner. Vallejo alcohol-based is very good, you'll be amazed how much paint comes out even after washing with water first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
