Winsor & Newton Series 7 Kolinsky Sable Water Colour Brush, N2

I don't know whether I just got lucky after reading all the negative reviews on series 7 brushes but mine arrived in perfect condition.This is my first Kolinksy Sable brush and I wanted to see how much difference there was with synthetic brushes. I think the main difference is the amount of paint it will hold which allows me to paint for longer without reloading the brush. Also, for such a small brush it can cover quite a large area, making it very versatile. The fine point allows me to paint very small details and fine lines.When dry the brush has quite a fluffy appearance unlike synthetic brushes, but as soon as it is dipped in water it regains it's sleek shape, also it doesn't have the snap that synthetic brushes have but that is to be expected.Overall, a really nice brush that has become my go-to along with my larger Silver Black Velvets.

More affordable brushes are available but after noticing many of my favourite artists using this brush I took the leap (I know, peer-pressured by instagram - the shame!) Pleased to say I'm extremely happy with this item in terms of quality and functionality. Ideal for detailed hatching and line-work in my comic art.

Completely amazing brush. Size 2 is perfect for not too many loads and holding lots of paint. Tip is the best I own

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.

If your painting Models then buy this brush . The detail you pick out with this brush is amazing. Tip stay's as a tip and the size of the brush means you can carry so much more paint so less dipping into the pallet. These were recommended to me by a friend who has had some of his brush's for over 10 years and they are still fit for use. People you are wasting your money on other brushes stop and buy these

Why on earth do people keep banging on about these brushes, either the seller was rubbish and selling defective brushes or W&N brushes are useless, splayed out the second it got wet and splits constantly. Don't waste ytour money, there are far better brushes out there, try a Raphael 8404 or a Da Vinci Maestro Series 10, these are a massive rip off and just bad, bad quality brushes.

I have used Windsor&Newton series 7 brushes for many years. As a professional artist, only the best will do. I've tried other watercolour brushes, but nothing else comes up to the standard I require for my finely detailed work.

These brushes are the king of brushes for miniature painting. Really nice snap and the best on the market in my opinion. Well worth the money.
