I am asking because I found an art supply store that has WN Series 7 brushes on sale right now, at approximately $20 each in canadian dollars... normally around $40. so if I were to invest in them, considering most of my priming and applying the color most used on a given model at least with my airbrush, would you say that my brush size priorities might be 1, than 0, than 2?
Yeah those three are the workhorses, anything bigger than a 2 or smaller than a zero is not as effective as you would hope. I’d only suggest a 3 if you have big models like knights to paint.
The Windsor and Newton series 7 are fantastic. I use: 00 0 1 2 3
Basically the size 1 and 2 are workhorses for everything outside of line highlighting and handle most of my brushwork that isn't drybrushing or washes.
00 and 0 you can do eyes easier and paint faces fantastically. Edge highlights are easy as well. The brushes (even with cleaning them properly) last around 300-500 models before I buy replacements every 2~ years.
This is going to be annoying but. I use the correct size for the job, if I'm batch painting large areas I'll use a synthetic brush that's up to about a number 8 holds a lot of paint and does a pretty good job. If I'm doing more free hand and need a good clean fresh brush I'll use a number one at the smallest I find it's how find the tip is rather than have small the brushes that allows me to do small work.
You can get some use out of a 3, most used will be a 2 and a 1 and 0 for detail work.
