    I wasn’t able to find what I thought was a great list of brushes people like so I thought I’d ask. I saw Jennifer’s recommendation, but those suckers are hard to find!

    So what brand and type of brushes do people use? I’m interested in trying a PYO, but I need to get some brushes first! 🙂

      2. production color Sitting Young Oriental dragons to be made in more colors besides VF, Brimstone would be awesome!

        That’s what I do to 😀

        I am particular about my brushes – I like golden talkon which is a synthetic, fairly soft bristle. I paint all of my PYOs with a size 0 and a size, I think, 6.

        Everyone’s different though! I would recommend going to the store and picking up the brushes and gently touching the bristles. That’s how I came to realize that I liked the golden taklon the best, when before I had been using natural bristled brushes 🙂

          I just use the generic ones-I have one just labeled “art brush” size 1 I use for details and a “Royal” size 6 I use for larger to medium sized areas. I like really soft brushes myself.

            I have to touch everything in the art store before I can decide…….

              I use the golden taklon brushes as well. I have a variety of sizes I’ve picked up here and there that come in those cheap combo packs, but I’ve been looking for some really good SMALL brushes.

              I’m currently trying a couple of Loew-Cornell spotter brushes. One is a 5/0 (under the name American Painter). It’s holding up fairly well. The brush tip is “turning” a bit, but I can tolerate that. As long as it’s not fraying, I’m good.

              The other is 10/0 (IT’S SO TINY!). XD But I haven’t tried it yet. Hopefully, they won’t crap out on me too soon… or I’ll have to raise the bar a notch. >.<

                  My brushes tend to run the entire gambit, but I almost always use synthetic, golden talkon. I do use a lot of teeny tiny bushes and I find that I spend a bit more on those for the better quality. I also sometimes buy the sets but I usually need to feel the bristles to determine if it’s a brush I want to use. I rarely purchase brushes based on brand.
