When it comes to brushes, if your looking for a high quality product people turn to companies like Windsor & Newton, Da-Vinci, Artis Opus and of course Raphael. Lets take a closer look at the Raphael brush range, specifically the pure kolinsky sable series 8404 and see what makes them so popular amongst hobbyists.

Brushes, Knives, Rollers & Sponges » Raphael Brushes » 8404 Raphael Kolinsky Pointed Sable 8404 Red Sable Round One of the most popular brushes used by illustrators and watercolourists the world over. Having #1 and #0 of the 8404 or others such as the Winsor & Newton or Da Vinci will certainly help when you don't need a brush with a large belly like the 8404 #2. But generally, it's a great brush. Series 8404 Kolinsky Sable Designer Rounds The fine hair used in Kolinsky brushes comes from the Siberian and Manchurian Sable, also known as Kolinsky. This small animal inhabits the coldest areas of these regions which is why it has very strong and dense hair. This golden-red hair is extremely fine and resistant.
Hi again,
I just wanted to tell you that I have just bought me a new set of paint brushes from Jackson’s Art Supplies.
I bought six brushes of the excellent Kolinsky hair Raphael 8404 series for acrylic paint.
These brushes are of high quality and I have tried them before.
They are supposedly equivalent in quality to the Winsor and Newton series, i.e. top quality.

I bought two of each size 0, 2/0, and 3/0.
So, I should be set for awhile.
Raphael 8404 Size 2
I like them a lot because they maintain their shape and last a long, long time if you a careful with brush maintenance (such as washing them with paint soap, etc.)
Well, here they are.

Painting some Blood Angels are next on the agenda.
I need to finish my DoA army of 2000 pts.
But as I have also bought 30 more jump packs, I will now have some conversion to be done.
I will convert some Tactical Marines and magetize them as usual.
Should be fun to be able to run flexible DoA lists at 2500 pts!
