$45- Help me spend it on a set of starter brushes!

by Mika's Creations on Thu Dec 22, 2011 1:22 pm

Hey everyone! I had a friend order my first set of paints from SF and there's $45 left over in his PayPal account. So instead of asking for it back I figured I'd get some brushes with it.

Can anyone tell me where I can get a good set of brushes for $45 including shipping? I love you

I would go the lowel cornell website and look at the 7000 series great brushes

and the 3000 comfort ones also these are my favorites

You would be better buying individual brushes rather than a 'kit.'
I too am a LC 7000 lover. Some of the best prices I've ever seen for them...

That's okay, you will probably find the 'Frequently Asked Questions' section of the forum very helpful Smile

Yes, definitly invest in a good angle brush. Probably 1/4 inch. These are great for outlining butterflies...etc.
- filbert
-3/4 flat brush
1 inch flat brush
#3 round
#5 round
The Snazaroo red rounds are awesome for making flowers.

I find i use a number 4 most of the time but when doing the 5 petal flowers i use a number 6
definately a 3/4 flat
1/2 flat
1/4 angle brush
paradise chisel

i use these brushes all the time..and most of the time.
