Winsor and Newton Sceptre Gold II Brush Designers Round-Short Handle 2

For painting minis, I prefer Scepter Gold II over the Series 7 in most case. The Series 7 is smoother and great for base coats, bu the Scepter is slightly stiffer which helps with detail work.If you want a good brush at a much lower price, this one is an excellent value. After a few months with good care, I have no stray hairs or other problems, so I expect it to be in my arsenal as long as the Series 7, if not longer.

I have Winsor and Newton brushes from the Sceptre range dating back to the late 80’s and whilst their bristles are still beautiful the paint has chipped and flaked off the handle. I reluctantly bought this one to see if I liked it as much and so far so good! Bristles have the right amount of spring for me and I feel like I can control the liquid/pigment well. Let’s see if this one lasts as long.

Such a usable brush. Not too delicate. Holds enough paint, overall good brush

I'm not sure if this is my own ignorance but I looked up good brushes and sizes for painting Warhammer minisThis is how it was right out of the package and I tried putting some brush wax on it to fix it, to no avail.Tried painting with the brush and it's probably fine for large subjects but overall not accurate enough

WN makes decent WC brushes and this Sceptre Gold mix series is good enough for everyday practice and for real painting. I just wish this size 7 had a better, sharper point, but it’s handy for now and I’m using it on practise projects that call for size 7. It’s a go to, tried and true, series when one can’t afford pure sable or higher end brushes. It’s a safe adventure.:)Okay. Trying to write a review for WN Sceptre Gold brush size 16, but it links me to this review I wrote earlier...Wow! This beautiful brush size 16 came all nicely packaged in its original bag, with a plastic protector on the ferrule, and it’s all new! Nice and sturdy. I just had to wash the hard stuff from the bristles and shape and it has a very nice point so far:) Trusty and good all round. Thanks!

I adore this specific brush!!!! This micro tip (0000) is perfect for essential fine line work when detailing whatever you are painting!! I usually buy W&N series 7 brushes but haven’t found one as small as this brush that holds its load and maintains its tip without flattening out into a broaden line. Epic!!! Arrived with protective tip covers still intact which as you know is necessary, especially with a tip this small!!! Do yourself a favor and buy Masters brush cleaner and preserver and use it each time you finish painting with any brush, especially tiny detail brushes!!!

I was so disappointed. This brush is for detail work and the hair strands were all frayed even though the tip was encased in a plastic tube. As soon as I pulled it out, I could see all the “fly away” strands. It will be impossible to use for fine lines. I would not purchase again. I would return it, but I live in Alaska and getting to the post office is not always so easy.

This is my go to brush. I like them better than the Windsor & Newton Series 7. They're cost effective and last a decent amount of time. I'm fairly hard on my brushes, so the blend of true sable and synthetic hairs respond well with a variety of paints - acrylic, egg tempera, watercolor and even oil.They are on occasion uneven in their quality. So I would go through a handful and pick the best brushes if you have direct access at an art supply store. That being said they are of decent quality about 85% of the time.The Series #202 have longer hair than the #101's but are shorter than the #303 (riggers - pinstripe brush). The #202's are perfect for working detail. The paint load will lasts long enough to move through rendering at a good speed.

Desempeño regular, esperaba un poco más por ser de Winsor & Newton, definitivamente solo me gustan los Serie 7 para acuarela 😅Quise aventurarme a probar, pero no me convenció.

This brush is really good for large washes, it also has a good point for painting details. I like it a lot

Great quality and value.

Very good!

These Windsor Newton sceptre gold brushes are amazing for tiny detailed work.The tips keep their shape, and for as small as they are, they hold a decent amount of paint.Great stuff.
