Thread: Winsor Newton Brushes

If you are looking to step up your paint game, you might take a look at Windsor Newton's Series 7 brushes. They are more expensive than a GW brush. However, they keep a fine point much longer than a GW brush. A GW brush normally lasts me about 6 months. My first Series 7 was good for over 2 years and many, many, models. I painted 3 full armies and several smaller projects with it. Series 7 brushes were tough to find for a while. But, can now be purchased locally at King's Hobby. They had a full counter top display on Black Friday when I was there.

I love mine. I find that I most often use 00, 0, and 1. I've relegated my GW brushes to metallics and washes. I've ordered mine from Amazon at a discount off retail. It's good to know someone local sells them though.

If you are having trouble finding the W&N, try the Raphael 8404, I never have trouble getting them from Dick Blick. Their brush shape is a little fuller than the W&N, so they have a slightly different feel.
