Those Isabel black sabel brushes in the photos are some of the softest things I've ever used. I use them more often to just brush my face than paint with them. Expensive as all hell though - I think I paid $70 each for mine (compared to a $5 bag of like 50 cheap brushes you can buy from the art store).

I picked up miniature painting as a hobby around Christmas icm 3D printing with the idea of building a Christmas village from scratch. It's always fascinating what long and winded funnels every new hobby brings. In this case brushes, synthetic vs sabel, usage, care.

For those who are not familiar with Bruce MacEvoy’s Handprint website, this guy knows more about color theory than almost anyone who has ever lived. Not the world’s best organized site…. Start here: https://www.handprint.com/HP/WCL/water.html

I spent about six months working on adding new pigments to my palette, and his research was invaluable. Highly recommended for anyone who is intermediate at watercolour. For beginners, he has a page that recommends some beginner palettes, which is quite useful.

For those looking − as the GP said, it's not fantastically organized − pigments information is available here: https://www.handprint.com/HP/WCL/waterfs.html. Top links yield access to pigments, organized by "color family".
Two other similar resources on pigments − always good to check what's in the tube before buying!
