You could paint an entire miniature with a single brush — there are no rules at the hobby desk. But picking the right brush for each job makes everything easier: base coats go down faster, details come out cleaner, and you spend less time fixing mistakes. Here’s a simple guide to choosing brushes, using our two ranges: the standard Hawk Kolinsky sable brushes and our walnut-handled Micro & Gaming brushes.
