Art store.

Craft store

Art shop

Arts/Craft shop. here in Canada, usually Walleck's

art store.

The Works, discount chain.

cheap Chinese brushes 2 for £3.00 GBP

Online from Reaper

Should we brand them? Michael's? JoAnn's?

The Works. Pack of four for £2.00 GBP in my area. Not bad brushes either

Online – its the only place I can get W&N series 7 miniature brushes, even large art shops don't seem to sell them any more.

How do you get the Works brushes to keep their point ? For me they just curl over, making them useless. My wife had some for watercolours but the ones I borrowed were totally useless.

Games Workshop.

Art and Crafts stores like Hobby Lobby

Online for W&N Series 7s…Michaels for cheapo stuff.

Dick Blick

Artist's shops for W&N series 7. Bought one online recently and it was skanky. Really need to see a good brush up-close before purchasing.

My local hobby / games store

I buy my Raphaels at my local art store, but then again I live in France, so that is easy.

A.C. Moore or Michaels.

The "good" brushes I buy from Michael's and Hobby Lobby. For disposable brushes I buy cheap ones from the Japanese dollar store (now it's a dollar-and-a-half store)Daiso. Surprisingly, these cheap brushes from Daiso are pretty good! I bought five packs of them and am still using the first pack! If you can, give them a shot…

I bought a pair of sable brushes from a local art store, Plaza Art, this weekend, previous set on-line from Dick Blick. I'll buy utility brushes from A.C. Moore.

Used to be craft store. When my father passed away, he had a craft supply pile that would make any five wargamers' lead piles look like a leisurely weekend project for one. I (SWMBOm and DOM) don't buy paintbrushes any more; don't expect to have to for a few more years.

Dick Blick, Scale Model Hobby

On line direct from W&N (Series 7) and Rosemary & Co. (Pure Sable Series 98).

Art store, my problem is I don't clean them well as I get the splayed bristles fairly quickly.

Mail order from Art and Frame of Sarasota.

DM

Wal-Mart

Rosemary & Co

I usually buy cheap ones at Michael's but I'm going to try these from Amazon next time:

Blick, though I wasn't happy with my last order of sable brushes.

Anywhere I can find some red sable brushes that look like they will work. I dont ever buy by mail because the brushes often vary in depth even when they claim to be the same sizes.

Online – Windsor & Newton at Dick Blick. Never had a problem other than when they were out of them.

Online – Army Painter brushes from UK Firestorm Games.

Dick Blick

Usually with a 40% off coupon at Michael's or Hobby Lobby. However, I have bought a few really nice ones from Meininger's, an art store chain along the front range.
Grelber

Discount art store in London – W&N Series 7's about 30% off list.

Michaels

On-Line, Rosemary and Co.

Fifty fifty between the gaming store or a dedicated craft/art store.

I miss the old craft stores I had in portland. There's a hobby lobby out here but I found it to be garbage.

Arts/Crafts Store

Dealer's room at conventions

Arts/Crafts store.

Local craft store. Michaels has the best selection in the area. I used to travel closer to Philly but rarely make it outside the county now.

On line Dick Blick. W/N Series 7 Miniatures.
