Our round Kolinsky sable paintbrushes are made for the modeller who wants a fine point, a full belly and reliable spring — the qualities that make natural Kolinsky sable the benchmark for miniature painting. Ideal for oils, acrylics and enamels, each brush holds a precise point for detail while carrying enough paint for smooth, controlled coverage. Available individually and in sets, from ultra-fine sizes for eyes and lining up to larger rounds for basecoating.

Caring for Kolinsky sable
When looked after well, a good sable brush lasts for years: rinse it often, never let paint dry in the ferrule, and reshape the point after cleaning. A little care keeps that fine tip sharp job after job.
