Rosemary Brushes

[Mini Me]

I'm in the market.......so if I Google Rosemary Brushes it will take me to their website?? And I gather this is the go to brush for Acrylics? As I model in 1-87 scale, probably nothing larger than a #1 for Fig. painting?

Check out You Tube for loads of brush care videos, all you need is a pot of brush cleaner/conditioner and take the time to clean them after each painting session.
Like all good/bad habits, it just takes time and repeating the action to go from bad to good and you will save your brushes from a early grave and ultimately save yourself some money.

HTH's?

Rick, the website is here

I use series 93 spotter brushes for best work, but any of the watercolour sable round ranges will do for figures. Just buy one sharp pointed OO size 93 for fine detail and keep it for that only. Otherwise I would use O or 1 sizes. It’s worth getting a 2 and 4 sized synthetic as well. They are not as sharp pointed, but make base coat work much faster and are hard wearing.

Thanks for the info Tim........think I'll get some "shut eye":sleeping: Rick H.

I've tried most always liked the W&N No 7, had excellent service from Rosemary, then found these. To me they are perfection, nice and short. Not cheap but to me well worth the expense. Clean after each use with the brush soap .

Hi Laurie and Tim, these I treat with respect. Tiny yes in length as well as size think if you ever tried them you would always use for those tricky paint jobs. I used them for detail on equipment and uniforms.
Alas no mater how I try the faces seem to outwit me.:crying:

Yes they look good John. At the moment there seems to be a dearth of them. Where did you get yours ?

Faces wow they are difficult. On 1/72 & 1/48 I just put in a streak for eyebrows & a slight shadow on one side of the nose. Maybe a slight colour on the lips but not red never looks right. Best for me is minimal & very thin colour.

Not tried 401s Mark. I use series 93s which are fantastic in the smaller sizes. I find that once you get above size 2 though they don’t really hold the point. What is the point and snap like on the 401s? might be worth me trying a couple of those for the larger sizes?

I've just ordered a couple of 93s with my order from rosemary and Co.

John can you not get them cheaper for me. That is 3 bottles of wine :tongue-out3:

Buy cheaper wine Laurie. After all, the brushes will last years with good care, but you only rent the wine for a few hours at best!
