Winsor & Newton Series 7 Kolinsky Sable Brush, Round SH #000

Although I purchased the scented sheets, the fragrance is minimal. So easy to use and of course eco friendly. When jugs become too heavy to lift and take up too much space, these little sheets are the answer ❣️

Very good product

I’ve been painting on and off for some time and usually airbrush is my go to tool so didn’t see the need to spend money on expensive sable hair brushes. So recently I picked up hand painting miniatures and some of the good synthetic brushes wouldn’t cut it at all, upon searching internet Windsor and Newton #2 came in highly recommended, WOW I have to admit I never enjoyed hand painting this much absolutely bunkers, it holds paints very well so you don’t have to keep going back to wet pallet as often which makes it easier to keep a wet edge and eliminates visible brush strokes on large flat surfaces, this #2 has a very fine tip so it can do most of the fine intricate stuff including putting on base cote on majority of my projects. I’m still planning to pick up #4 and #00 for really fine detail but this for now is my workhorse. That being said don’t waste money on cheap brushes buy quality once and guarantee you will enjoy painting instead of getting frustrated.

Edit: The brush that was received to replace the faulty one has not cracked and performs very well. The sable hairs will split when dry but when wet they keep a very impressive point. Changing to 5 starsOriginal Review:I love this brand and will continue to purchase these brushes… but I’m only giving it four stars because the $60 #6 immediately cracked around the base of the ferrule after an hour of use. I’ve had brushes last ten years without this happening - I’m more surprised than disappointed. The replacement brush looks like it’ll last longer.Nothing holds paint like Sable and these brushes feel very nice. I did a blind test against the S7 and a cheap Sable off Amazon and could definitely feel the difference.Part of the reason I buy this brand of brushes is because I hope to give them to my kids one day - this purchase did not instill confidence.

Windsor and Newton paint brushes are top quality. I do love how they hold the paint in the belly and let the paint glide off the tip. I suggest if you paint anything try these paintbrushes. I use acrylics. They clean up easily with professional paintbrush cleaner and cool water. The tips are as sharp now as they were 10 models ago.TIPS for caring: I do take very good care of my brushes. True of any paint brush, If for some reason they begin to become misshaped try reconditioning them. Store tip down while drying. Don't dip the paint past the hub. Clean with soap as you turn. Reshape tip every time. Never jam brush in the bottom of your rinse bowl.
