Artis Opus - Series S - Size 4 Brush

The Size 4 is built for getting paint down quickly — a large sable round for basecoating regiments, big centrepieces and terrain. Because it's shaped to a point like the rest of the range, it stays surprisingly capable when the job calls for a bit of finesse.

At a glance

• Highest-grade Kolinsky sable, individually handmade in England
• Series S — Artis Opus's all-round workhorse round brush
• Size 4: large paint-holding body with a pointed tip
• Balanced handle with a comfortable, grippy finish

Why it's good

• Massive paint reservoir for fast, even coverage
• Fewer trips to the palette and more time in the 'perfect mix'
• Still points well enough to double up on larger detail

Basecoating a whole unit or blocking in a big model — the Size 4 gets the boring bit done fast so you can crack on with the fun.

Big coverage, proper sable quality. Keep it conditioned with brush soap, or grab the complete nine-brush Series S set for the full range.
