These Winsor & Newton Artists' Watercolour Sable brushes are hand crafted from the finest Kolinsky sable hair, in Winsor & Newton's own factory in Lowestoft, Suffolk.
Kolinsky sable has a number of attributes: its natural profile provides a pronounced belly and tapered tip, it has a natural tendency to spring back on itself maintaining brush shape during painting, and it is extremely resilient and therefore very durable.
These one stroke Artists' Watercolour Sable brushes are short, flat watercolour brushes. Originally used for 'one stroke' applications by sign writers, many watercolourists use this brush for washes. They also make a unique chisel edged flat brush mark. Available in 6 sizes, from 3mm (1/8in.) to 25mm (1in.)
