Have a butcher's at this!

Painted by James Wappel.

We are not worthy, master.

I feel like breaking my paint brush over my knee and taking up bowls.

    Sob! Bowls did you say? Sounds interesting... do the rules include to-hit rolls and saving throws?

    I recently walked past the local GW and stopped to look in the window at the models on display... I was blown away by the quality of the painting on display. Mind you I doubt if painting of that standard could be achieved with GW brushes! Last batch I bought were truly awful.

    Dear Lee
    I am working on a new set of rules for the bowls.

    I have given up on GW brushes and use art brushes by Winsor & Newton, they last years and give a great result. They are not much more expensive.

    When I need cheap brushes I buy kiddies painting brushes.

    We never use GW brushes. Most of the time we are using some form of Loew Cornel, Cotman, W & N, American Painter, and so on. Liner brushes are also very important, along with flow improver and my nagnifier light!

    Dear James
    Thanks for the info on the technology you use. I buy W&N because they are available in a local art shop. I have had poor results with GW.

    GW brushes simply don't hold their shape, there are much better ones out there...

    Those models look great, they have a very distinctive style... of course this can be a good thing or a bad thing - depending on which side of the fence you're on!

    W&N is the way to go if you are doing anything that needs to be above table top quality. Ironically GW's new range of brushes are actually worse than their old line.

    Dear Oink
    I think professional painter do tend to have a distinct style.
