I have them for 4-6 months and they are still ok. But i do wash them fairly as they are not you cheap sintetic brushes (they cost 40PLN aprox 10 euro for one) An a link to their site http://www.escoda.com/artists_shop/synthetic_brushes/prado/tame_synthetic/65 I hope I am not braking any rules. Thank you bud, will try them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuneBrush Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 +++MOD HAT+++ I've just changed the name of this topic as it was in danger of becoming a massive can of political worms. Thanks everyone for keeping it sort of on track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a blade-safe for safety razors. Watch out for sharps if you’re ever working on one. Or Khorne May be pleased with your offering ... (and Nurgle might bless you with tetanus..)

Orsino Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I've found some really good artificial brushes online, switching from sable to artificial brushes is a small change which avoids causing unimaginable and unnecessary suffering to an animal. I think the biggest barrier is just how many people are unaware of the origin of sable, thanks OP for bringing this to people's attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nord Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I am one of those weird people who have used synthetic for years. I did try the fabled W&N series 7 but found it too soft for my painting style and have stuck with Pro Arte Prolene series 101 ever since. Good tip, handles rough usage and lasts reasonably well. Cheap too, you can pick up a set of five in a pouch from ebay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pro-Arte-Artists-Prolene-5-Brush-Set-W3-Watercolour-Gouache-Acrylic-inks/320849700983 I am UK based, not sure if these are available world wide.

I wonder is the shape a real deal and it helps or it is just a thing to sell you new shape brushes ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like i said i never really thought about it until randomnly reading the description on the GW website. Obviously there are impacts to everything in modern living but fur does seem to be a common issue for many people- thanks to all the links so far to alternative brushes. Now, i wonder if enough interest could lead to GW eventually selling some for their fine brush sizes? They are the top of the league for miniature painting so if anyone could pioneer top quality artificial brushes it would be them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
