Even if it’s not expensive, Is there a high quality item every serious enthusiast owns?
Or maybe it’s a highly prized holy grail item you’d give your right arm for.
Is there something you’ve had an eye on for a while and you’re just waiting for an excuse to treat yourself?
Windsor and Newton Series 7s were my first expensive brushes. I’m rocking Raphael 8404s right now though and I’ve been a lot happier.
I’d say that the Harder Steinbeck Infinity series are probably the “you’ve made it” of mini painting with lots of little tweaks and QoL features, but my Iwata Eclipse has been a perfect work horse for me and may be a “pinnacle” for mini painting as far as overall value.
Not sure you’ve made it over there yet, but feel free to join us on https://kbin.social/m/minipainting. Always love to see more work over there!
I’ll see if I can’t get a good shot of something with my old camera to share over there.
Ironically my next big purchase will be a new SLR. Taking pictures or videos of minis to share is as big of a rabbit hole as painting them in the first place.
