🛠️ Craftsmanship quality and ergonomics

All Artis Opus brushes are handmade and subject to rigorous quality control. The thicker handles, with their centre of gravity close to the ferrule, improve comfort and reduce fatigue during long sessions. The bristle selection (kolinsky in Series S and special fibres in Series D and M) ensures durability and tip recovery. The sets include a soap cake that extends brush life, as well as wooden or plastic cases to protect them during transport.

🧽 Compatibility and care

These brushes work perfectly with conventional acrylic paints, metallic resins, inks and special effects. For best performance, it is recommended to clean and condition the bristles after each session with the supplied soap and store them horizontally or in a case. Combine the Series D with Vallejo TMM True Metallic Metal paints for realistic metallic effects, or the Series S and M with Vallejo Game Color sets to paint skin, clothing and armour with precision.

🖌️ Series D – Drybrush: master the blending technique

The Series D range was conceived to go beyond traditional drybrushing. Its dense, short bristles, combined with an included moistening pad, allow you to work with the moist brushing technique: a light touch of water controls the amount of pigment to blend colors and create smooth gradients without leaving rough textures. The sets include various sizes (from XS to XL), brush cleaner soap, and a care guide, and are available in 4 and 5 brush formats. If you're looking for airbrush-like transitions and weathered effects quickly, this is your go-to tool.

✒️ Series S – Painting: high performance Kolinsky brushes

The Series S is the flagship range from Artis Opus. Made with genuine kolinsky hair, these brushes offer a very sharp tip, a generous belly to hold more paint, and just the right stiffness to facilitate advanced techniques such as loaded brush and feathering. The handle is thicker than other brands to provide superior ergonomics, and the logo is engraved on the top to prevent wear. They are sold in sets of 4 or 5 units (sizes 000 to 2), each with soap and a care leaflet.

For fans of edge highlighting, freehand and tiny details, the Series M offers brushes with an extra-fine tip and shorter bristles. These brushes are designed to hold their shape even in very small sizes and allow you to draw sharp lines, outline recesses or paint eyes and lettering effortlessly. Their composition balances firmness and flexibility, making it easy to control every stroke. The sets include various sizes to suit each type of miniature and come with soap and a maintenance guide.

Frequently Asked Questions about Artis Opus Brushes

What's the difference between the D, S, and M series?

  • The Series D is designed for drybrushing and moist brushing (quick blending and textures), the Series S is a versatile range of Kolinsky brushes for general painting, and the Series M offers ultra-fine tips for detail work and precise lining

What materials are miniature brushes made of?

  • The Series S uses high-quality Kolinsky hair, while the D and M series use specially selected fibers for their respective techniques. All handles are made of lacquered wood and metal ferrules ensure a secure grip.

Do I need any special accessories to use them?

  • You'll only need water and paint. Artis Opus sets already include brush soap and, in the case of the Series D, a dampening pad to control brush moisture. You can complement them with a texture palette for best results.

How do I care for my Artis Opus brushes?

  • After each use, clean the bristles with the included soap and warm water, reshape them with your fingers, and lay them flat to dry. Avoid fully submerging the ferrule in water to extend the brush's lifespan.

What sizes are available and which one should I choose?

  • Each series offers multiple sizes: the Series D ranges from XS to XL for large surfaces or fine details, the Series S covers 000 to 2 (or up to 6 in individual brushes), and the Series M focuses on smaller sizes. To get started, a 5-brush set covers most needs; the smallest sizes are ideal for eyes, gems, and edge highlighting, while the larger ones are perfect for base coating and blending.
