From a fine leaf vein to a small coloured shape, the round KOH-i-NOOR 9935 kolinsky brush combines a pointed tip with a tuft that takes up and releases colour. Use the point for details and let the hairs spread under a little more pressure for a broader stroke.
One brush in your chosen size
You receive one round brush in natural kolinsky hair with a plastic protective cover for the hairs. The seamless, gold-coloured ferrule is brass. The wooden handle is lacquered wine red with a gold-coloured end. Both sizes are intended for fine painting, with watercolour as the main application.
Compare sizes 3 and 4
Size 3: hair length 14 mm, tuft diameter 2 mm and overall brush length 182 mm. Size 4: hair length 14 mm, tuft diameter 3 mm and overall length 185 mm. Choose the narrower size 3 for small motifs and size 4 when you want a broader tuft. Tuft diameter is not a fixed stroke width; pressure, angle and paint dilution also shape your line.
Lines, outlines and small colour areas
Dampen the tip for watercolour and load diluted colour. Draw an outline with light pressure or use the side of the tuft for a small colour area. Try the water balance on a scrap of the same paper. The brush also works with tempera, acrylic and oil paints; adjust cleaning to your paint. A larger brush is more convenient for big areas. Paint, paper and other working materials are not included.
Care for the point after painting
Clean after use before paint dries in the tuft. Use water for watercolour; for other paints, follow their cleaning instructions and choose a product suitable for natural hair. Gently reshape the damp point and let the brush dry without resting on its hairs. Fit the protective cover over the dry point without folding the hairs.
