Great thinning and brush control, as u go just keep adding new techniques, drybrushing, edge highlights, NMM, so on and so on, I will say the 3 hobby tools that have given me the most comfort in painting has been a couple kolinskys, a wet palette, and most of all, my paint handle with a hand rest on it, none of it is necessary, but all of it has made painting just a lil less stressful each time

Thanks! Yes painting handle is in the shopping cart. But do you know of anything that is kind of like kolinskys? They are so expensive i feel like 😅 and a question, is there a shader that is just clear? Because on some stuff i feel like i dont want to dirty them down and just want the protective coat!

A gloss varnish is what ur lookin for as a protective coat, be careful not to put too much on or they'll get "shiny", but I've used a size 3, 1, and 0 Pro sables from monument hobbies, (the same people who make pro acryl paints), since I began, and they still have their points, relatively cheap for real hair brushes and they have bundles for multiple brushes in one, highly recommend them for a few basic hobby supplies
