Winsor & Newton Series 7 Kolinsky Sable Water Colour Brush, N000

These are just THE best brushes I have ever used. I've had them for years now - possibly 8, and the original is only just starting to get a bit tatty. I'm using them for plastic model making, so they get immersed in acrylic as well as enamel paints, and cleaned with harsh thinners, but they never quit. Just make sure you give them a deep clean every now and then, keep the tip at a point and never swish the bristles on the bottom of the water jar - this kills paint brushes of any quality. Queen Victoria was the initial inspiration behind the series, as she wanted the best No.7 brush that W&N could make, so they did, and they named the series after her favourite one.

This is the third one of these Ive bought and to be quite honest I wouldnt buy any other size 000 brush. Ive tried the cheap ones - the mid range ones and the very expensive ones and this one is still the best. I use it for all the fine painting I do - hence why Ive already got through 2 of them. You can use them with water colour and acrylic paints but I wouldnt use it for oils. The brush is very very fine....much smaller than some you see at 000 size. This is perfect for my needs. I can really recommend this brush. Dont waste money shopping around and trying others - just get one of these. You wont regret it.

Well packaged and nice looking brush.I used it to do a painting and have to say it's great to do detailed work, I bought the 000 brush and it managed to pick up colours easily and retain it's shape, other brushes I bought seemed to lose a lot of hairs after a while but this seems like it will last a long time.I'm pleased I spent the extra money to buy this brush other than cheaper brushes that seem disposable after a few uses.

I've been modelling at 1/35th scale for the last 5 years. I've acquired a roll full of paint brushes, and with experience comes expertise.In my experience, nothing can match my Series 7 000 brush for detail painting. The natural point of the sable hair is superb. You get what you pay for.

Easy to use

Great quality brush, using with my W40k models, bristles are a lot more reliable than the GW collection but sometimes still have difficulty keeping a bullet tip.

I'm by no means an professional but I did notice a significant improvement in my works after switched from Citadel brushes to W&N Series 7. I've bought a few in varying sizes and cannot fault them at all.

I've been using this brush for a couple of weeks now and this is a very good brush.The bristles are nicely flexible and hold a good amount of paint. Great for the small details I paint on my miniatures.
