A size 1 is a good mid-range miniature paint brush that’s good for fine highlighting, edge highlighting, and also detail work. I wouldn’t recommend anything larger than a size 2 for miniatures unless you’re painting a lot of larger vehicles or something.įrom there it only gets smaller. You can use this size for layering and detail work, at least if you have a pointed round. If you have a good brush, then you’ll find a size 2 is a good all-around brush size. So, you’ll need to know about normal sizing for buying brushes otherwise.Īlso, the sizes listed are for pointed round brushes or round brushes, what I recommend for a shape for miniature painting. While the Citadel style of labeling miniature paint brushes is convenient, it’s only common to them. Some companies, like Citadel (Games Workshop), don’t list their brushes by traditional sizes but by general size and type of brush, like Medium Layer Brush. Traditional paint brushes come in numeric sizes, like size 2, size 1, size 0, etc. The Kolinsky Sable brushes are some of the most expensive brushes you’ll find in miniature painting and are highly regarded.
This makes a great brush in miniature painting because of it’s bristle strength, flexibility, and ability to hold a fine point.

I hope that it helps you save paint, time, and effort. But for now, please let me know how this acrylic pouring paint calculator works for you. If you prefer to work with thinner consistency you would need less paint mixture, and with thicker – more.Īt some point, you will no longer need this tool as you are going to “feel” exactly how much paint is required. This calculation is right for an average (approximately warm-honey like) consistency. If you prefer to apply the base layer first, you should decrease the total of your paint mixture by 30%-50% (depending on whether you prefer to leave any negative space or not).ģ. And if you are going to do very little to no tilting (like for swipe, straw blown flowers, or dutch pour), less paint mixture is needed.Ģ. If you are going to do a lot of tilting to stretch cells, rings, or any other elements, you would need more paint as you are going to lose some during the tilting. Please keep in mind that the number calculated above is approximate, and you need to adjust it based on these factors:ġ.
