However, for practical purposes, anything smaller than a 000 is pretty much useless. Remember, the important thing is the *point*, not the number of bristles. Even for figure painting in the smaller scales, going below a 00 brush is a rare occasion. Smaller brushes just don't hold a sufficient amount of paint to be useful. A top quality Winsor Newton "Series 7" 00 brush will hold (and maintain) a finer point...than a mid-level quality 10/0 spotter or liner.

Yeah...I've tried such "micro-brushes"....but they would never last more than one figure for me. I also could not get them to hold a point. And they hold far too little paint. I work so slowly...that before I could ever get the brush to the figure/model...the paint would be dried up!...lol. And fellow Texans Gilbert Moreno and Mario Fuentes, turned me on to the concept, which is really effective when working in acrylics and water colors, to use the *biggest* brush possible; for good coverage purposes.

Actually, my favorite has become a quality #1 sable...if the point is good to start with and kept groomed, I can get years of use out of it. Signature- Rufus >damn ya'll have some big a.s brushes.
