For medium details to fine detail, blending, precision painting or basically anything that's not dry brushing and base coating. These brushes are so nice to use, they hold a good amount of paint and keep a sharp tip. I use sizes 3, 2, and 0

Level up your painting with a good wet pallet. This pallet has become one of my favorite, the vent on top in particular. It allows you to keep the right amount of air flow for your paints.
