Help with brushes

[Medved]

i am deperately trying to find some \'pocket brushes\' that are made in the sizes that we use as mini painters.

does anybody know of any brands (or places to get them) which make brushes like these but down to a 00 or even 000 size?

first linky

second linky

i need something fairly sturdy like those.

hi medved

try here my mum thinks it is possible to have the kind of brushes us miniature painters use.made into pocket brusheshttp://www.rosemaryandco.com

if you send an email enquiring the company owner will be able to give a clearer answer as my mum has justed started there

i have sent an email, yet to get a response (was only friday).

but i thought i\'d have a look to see if they do exist. I saw some set that had a W&N size 00 pocket brush, but it\'s in some big set with loads of other brushes i don\'t need (or can\'t afford).

cheers james

Stuart Talk to Klute. I\'m pretty sure that he has some brushes which the handle unscrews and become the cover for the tip.
(Can\'t remember the name ... Old Age creeping in)

It\'s >>these<< ones that Klute likes. The smallest is a size 1, though.

 

[Medved]

yup Moderrhu is right. i\'m after something that goes that little bit smaller if they exist

 

[Medved]

does anybody know of any brush makers, or small independent companies that might make or be able to convert something similar?

i found an italian manufacturer who makes them ... also 5/0 but... ehm

they are artisans... and... they are *quite* expensive...

265 € for a brush (encased with gold and ivory caps, platinum ring)... it\'s *quite* too much right? lol

 

[Medved]

put it this way i\'d rather pay for the brush rather than all the decorations in gold, silver and paint it on myself in NMM .

now if only they could do a redux version.

i am willing to pay W&N prices + a little extra as they would be a bit unusual.

Are these meant to be used? I would find it hard to dip a brush like that in paint. What if the tip curls?

uhmmm i think the tip is exchangeable :~(

Ok! Then maybe it WOULD be interesting! I think all that gold, platinum and ivory would improve my painting considerably! :duh:

At 265€, it\'s still a better deal than a certain Citadel Master\'s set. Is there a link to these bushes of the gods? Are the manufacturers even online?
