Series 7 Kolinsky Sable Water Colour Brush, N00

These are fairly expensive, but they are easily my preferred brushes for miniature painting (e.g. Warhammer). I have tried other Kolinsky Sable brushes, and also dabbled with synthetic brushes, but for me these just work out best. I only use acrylic paints (GW, Vallejo, etc) and don't use metallics. These have a good point, hold enough paint (but not too much) and they last a long time. They are also easy to clean and if looked after will retain their shape. I mostly use a No.1 as it is large enough but has a great point (most of the time). Smaller sizes seem to have no improvement in the tip, but have quite dramatic difference in the body and so don't offer me any advantage. I do however feel that these are quite expensive, and this means I do continue to try to find an alternative, but since they really are, for me, the best brushes, I fully expect I'll be back for more. These won't improve your painting without practice and patience, but they are far far better than cheap synthetic brushes. Try one, and look after it.

These are the absolute kings of brushes. They are pointed enough to paint eyes, but have a large enough body to collect large amounts of paint and work on larger surfaces. These do come with a premium price tag but they're the kings and that unfortunately demands a high cost.

Excellent quality

This is the second of these brushes that I've owned. The first (from an art shop) lasted over two years. This one, hasn't lasted 6 months of infrequent use. It's totally lost its tip and is in a worse state than the much older brush. Upon comparison to brushes that are directly form Winsor Newton, the gold writing on shaft if a totally different shade. I'm not convinced this is a legitimate Winsor Newton series 7, it's certainly of poor quality.

Windsor & Newton Series 7 are the benchmark for great brushes in my opinion. I use them to paint miniatures and they last for a long time when taken good care of. A little bit on the more expensive side, so not suited for people on a budget but overall a good investment. The brush arrived well protected in a plastic tube, and the tip was well formed upon receiving.

Excellent paint brush. Worth the cost.

Great brush

I spent over a month using synthetic brushes before I popped open my good ones a 0 and a 1 I was told would serve most of my needs. The picture is what happened after I had opened in the packet (initially one stray hair) and dipped it in water and use the gentle rolling motion to try and bring it to a point. After it dried a bit this was the result. Further dampening would cause it to hold shape for a bit but always one or two strays. My 0 on the other hand is perfectly sharp. It seems to be a bit of a lottery judging by the comments what you're going to get.

This was the first time I tested these brushes and now they are my new favourites. Really like the fine point on them

Reeds bekend met deze penselen weet ik dat ze goed zijn, nemen goed de verf op en punt blijft mooi (let op) bij het juiste gebruik en onderhoud dus laat niet zomaar iedereen het gebruiken 😉🫣. Ja ze zijn wel duurder maar bij Amazon een zeer goede prijs. Ze worden geleverd in een plastic kokertje en werd netjes door amazon bezorgd in een kartonnen envelop.

W & N Great watercolour brushes

Secondo me è molto difficile trovare di meglio per dipingere miniature, tiene benissimo il colore e con un pochino di attenzione, la punta rimane integra per tantissimo tempo, utilissimi sono i prodotti specifici per la pulizia. Il costo, elevato, è rapportato all'eleganza qualità.

Un excellent pinceau en poil naturel martre Kolinsky pour figurinistes. L'objet en lui-même fleure la qualité dans son tube plastique le protégeant des conditions de transport. Il semblerait que la qualité ait baissé en quelques années, c'est en tout cas ce que disent les vieux de la vieille. Pour ma part, j'ai trouvé ce pinceau vraiment excellent à utiliser, il permet de faire des glacis sans trace du passage du pinceau. Les pigments sont très bien répartis, le réservoir est parfait en contenance, la peinture n'y sèche pas trop vite. La prise en main est excellente, j'aime beaucoup le manche. Pour le moment je ne peste pas sur une pointe courbée ou en trident, on verra Bref, du tout bon, et cela a un coût qui peut rebuter les débutants. Pour les expérimentés c'est du tout bon !
