I found good paint brushes to be the right sort of price for a Christmas gift. So I usually get my family to buy me a new set every year.

I’ve used Raphael 8404, Rosemary and Co, W&N Series 7, Redgrass Games and this year I got Artis Opus. I normally go with sizes 0-2 and get an extra small if they make them.

Honestly they’ve all been good. Frankly my brush care has been the critical factor in how long they lasted.

If I had to choose just one of them my Raphael 8404 size 1 has stood up best to my care. I’ve used it very roughly with metallics and washes and it still forms a point. While I’m mainly using my latest brushes I still go back to that Raphael brush for the awkward stuff I don’t want to use my nice brushes on.
