I can agree with you about applying washes to the figures. I have found that ether I end up using the wrong color wash or the wrong tone, which then forces me to start over again because the color scheme will end up off.
What size brush are you using 0 or 00?
For these I used a 2/0 kolinsky sable brush with "Golden maple" on the handle. I believe it was from this set: https://www.amazon.com/Professional-Siberian-Kolinsky-Miniature-Watercolor/dp/B06XTJYMMB/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1509556642&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=kolinsky+sable+brushes&psc=1
It's the first brush I've used that lasted through more than 3-4 minis. I have a Series 7 brush, but I've been too scared to take it out of the packaging for worry that I'll ruin it. The off-brand set cost just a little more than the single Series 7, so it continues to gather dust.
