Winsor & Newton Series 7 Kolinsky Sable Miniature Brush

Originally developed at the behest of Her Majesty Queen Victoria, the Series 7 earned Winsor & Newton the Royal Warrant.  Offering a rapier-like point, perfectly balanced spring with extraordinary colour-holding capacity & flow control, they're still widely considered to be the greatest range for professional watercolourists.

With the same professional quality application as their full size counterparts, the Series 7 Miniature brush range is available in 9 sizes ideal for incredibly fine, detailed work.

Handmade in England since 1866 using only the finest Kolinsky Sable hairs, the Series 7 has proven itself to be the standard–bearer in the three essential qualities that define the finest watercolour brush; "Point", "Snap and Spring" and "Flow Control".

Point
Every Series 7 brush should come to a crisp point and maintain that point during use. Pointing without colour – swirl the brush in water, give the brush head a hard flick of the wrist. Point when painting – drain excess colour into palette and then twist brush head gently to get the perfect point.

Snap and Spring
The brush snaps back crisply into shape with the right degree of spring to allow the artist superior control with a degree of give and take between the brush and painting surface.

Flow Control – Speed and control of painting
The larger belly of the Series 7 brush hold more colour than other sable brushes and this makes applying washes so much easier. Along with the colour carry capacity the Series 7 comes with such a fine point too. The same fine line can be achieved with a size 10 as it would be with a size 0 as the reason for the larger size brush is when you want a reservoir of colour.
