In the past, European brush factories made the traditional shape in the Series 10 in their factories on the continent. "The English shape" is reflected in the Series 11 Think Winsor Series 7 when you write this. With its extra long taper, the Series 35 is very comfortable to wear. This original brush was originally designed for architectural rendering and illustration with ink. Among its most famous uses was in Disney Animation. The medium is now used mainly by artists to paint with watercolor, gouache, oil, and more.

Selected User Reviews For da Vinci Watercolor Series Maestro Paint Brush, Extra Short Retouch/Spotter Kolinsky Red Sable, Size 2 (1505-02)
While I appreciate paying a lot for such delicate products, I did not appreciate them arriving loose inside the bag, as they arrived without protection. Despite its fragility, each hair is very strong.
They hold an incredible amount They can cover a lot of area with a point that still allows it to be sharp enough There is no need to constantly dip your brush in water and paint with these. There is no flow to the painting when this occurs. A continuous flow of paint is essential to the creation of great paintings. It is possible to do so with these brushes. As a side note, I also own Russian Blue Squirrel brushes, which are different in terms of how they snap together. As a result, the blue squirrel does not snap like the Kolinsky. Brushes of this type are typically used as mop brushes. The brushes do not lose their shape as they are not pliable. Having a fat belly and a sharp point, these brushes are well suited for shaving. You can see some closer photos of the brushes attached so that you can get a better sense of their size. The following photos show a comparison between the size 12 Kolinsky brush and the artissimo brush in size 4. Thank you! I hope this is helpful!.
They were just crudely thrown in a box without even a cover to keep them safe, much less a bag to keep them contained. After it had been treated rough, I was lucky to be able to restore it to a useful state. Its lifespan was significantly shortened due to.
My biggest challenge was trying to figure out what size these brushes are, so I added photos that provide size information in case anyone else experiences the same difficulties as me (another reviewer provided comparison photos of artissimo brushes, which I found very helpful, so maybe my photos will add something to that). It arrived tonight in a size 0 and I placed that in front of my other watercolor brushes to assess its size. I determined it is just a tiny bit larger than my Winsor & Newton size 8 Here is the brush (from my collection I have) that is closest to the size 0 Artissimo When I tried to use my kitchen scale, I had difficulty getting it to register a weight. It only came with an empty plastic tube, there was not brush included in the package it was shipped in, so when I first opened it, it looked like only an empty cardboard box. (I haven't painted with it yet, I literally unboxed it 30 minutes ago. ) It was promptly returned and this brush arrived two days later, well packaged. Inside, the bristles are protected by a hard plastic sleeve and again, there is a thin plastic sheet covering.
There were two types of protective caps, one was present with one and one was not. A hair on the uncapped brush was bent out of shape, but that was all. My current favorite brush for two brush blending is also the Da Vinci Student Series 373, which can also be used to blend two brushes (I use the Round Size 2), so I used that brush today to paint some 28mm statues. In fact, the Maestro lived up to its name, while the student needs to study more. Almost exactly in the middle between the ferrule and the needle, the Maestro bulged beautifully. A simple rolling of the brush along with pulling it through a puddle of thinned acrylic was all it took to achieve that tip. I had no trouble laying down large swaths of color, as one might expect from any brush. When I reloaded the brush, it held so much paint that I wondered whether I was losing track of time I think this brush holds a lot of paint, although not as much as I'd like. It was then I needed to paint the eyes and the 1mm wide sash of the statue that I met the greatest challenge. After blending two brushes, the third one followed. Although the Student is one of my favorites, I find the Student to be too high maintenance A toothbrush is cheaper, but the Maestro felt like a different animal. When I applied pressure to the Maestro's bristles, they yielded to the pressure and snapped to a point, whereas the Student's bristles were hard and pushed back against my hand. As opposed to the fine drafting pen of the Maestro, I felt like I was using a sharpie when I used the Student's tip. In the present situation, the Maestro is twice as expensive as the Student, but it definitely has more brush for the same price. The only way I can be ecstatic is if this lasts the same amount of time as a student.
this brush, but I have to let you know that I had to order it 3 times (and return 2 of them) due to problems that I had. Priced at just under a tenth of what it should be, this is a decent brush. In the case of the two brushes I returned, the first one had what looked like an oil spot on the brush, so it would not pick up paint in one area. tip of the second brush kept curling up, so I returned it. Thus, third time is a charm to get a good book.
