I start off the background with 1 3/4" Purdy brushes, available at Home Depot (recommended by a WS instructor). Boy, does that save time and really creates a nice background (no little strokes).

Then, I switch to two one inchers (expensive da Vincis) for the layin. After a while 3/4" synthetics and finally for the facial details, my all time favorite, a Kolinsky sable number 4.

BTW, the best brush cleaner I have found is Murphy's oil soap. It'll even removed caked on paint out of the ferrules with some gentle kneading.
