Size L moves from figure work to terrain. On a ruined building, a rock face or a tank hull the texture runs across the whole surface, and a small dome would take twenty times as long while producing visible bands where the passes overlap.

Pair it with pigments spread by AK Synthetic Brush – Fan Shape for a dusty finish, and use AK Dry Brush – M for the figures that stand on the same base.
Is L too big for 28 mm figures?
For the figure, usually yes. For its base and the terrain around it, it is the right tool.
How do I clean a dry brush properly?
Warm water and brush soap, worked in with your fingers. Dried-in pigment at the base of the dome is what eventually splays it.
How do I clean an AK synthetic brush?
Rinse it in clean water – or the matching thinner for enamels and oils – before the paint sets, work brush soap into the bristles with your fingers, reshape the tip and let it dry point-up. Never leave a brush standing in a jar. The cleaners are in thinners and cleaners.
Synthetic or Kolinsky sable?
Synthetic fibre is springier, cheaper and completely indifferent to harsh thinners, so it is the right choice for varnish, enamels, oils, pigments and every abrasive technique. Sable holds more liquid and comes to a finer point – that is the da Vinci brushes range. Most painters end up owning both and using each for what it does best.
The complete range is in the AK Interactive brushes category.
