The Master All-Rounder
The Most Versatile Brush in Your Hobby Arsenal.
The Citadel Medium Layer Brush is designed to be the workhorse of your painting desk. While Base brushes are for the heavy lifting and Small Layer brushes are for the microscopic details, the Medium Layer is where the magic of "finishing" a model happens. Hand-made with high-quality synthetic bristles, it is engineered to hold a fine point while maintaining enough "belly" to hold a good amount of paint, making it the perfect tool for smooth transitions and crisp highlights.
Why the Medium Layer Brush is a Hobby Essential
Superior Point Retention: The bristles are tapered to a sharp point, allowing you to switch from painting larger areas of armor to fine edge-highlighting without changing brushes.
Optimal Paint Flow: The brush is designed to hold the perfect amount of thinned-down Layer paint, ensuring it flows onto the miniature consistently rather than drying out too quickly.
Responsive "Snap": Because it uses high-grade synthetic fibers, the bristles "snap" back into position after every stroke, giving you maximum control over where the pigment lands.
Ergonomic Design: Like all Citadel brushes, it features a contoured handle that reduces hand fatigue during long painting sessions, allowing for a steady grip when working on intricate details.
How to Care for Your Medium Layer Brush
Load Carefully: Never dip your brush all the way to the metal ferrule. Keeping the paint in the bottom two-thirds of the bristles prevents paint from drying inside the handle and splaying the tip.
Thin Your Paints: This brush performs best with thinned paint. Using it with thick, un-thinned paint can clog the bristles and ruin the fine point.
Clean Constantly: Rinse your brush frequently in clean water during your painting session. Once finished, use a brush soap or conditioner to reshape the tip and keep the fibers soft.
