Da Vinci Micro-Maestro Kolinsky Detail Brush Set The Ultimate Detail Watercolor Brush! The short handle Micro-Maestro Kolinsky Detail Brushes were created for watercolor artists that paint intricate details. The hexagonal handle is comfortable to hold for long periods and will not roll away on the table when not in use. MAESTRO Tobolsky-Kolinsky Series are made from the sable „mustela sibirica“, living in the basins of the Tobol river. The colonies of these animals are under permanent supervision by the authorities not only for their precious fur but also due to their habit of digging into the embankments. Da Vinci Maestro Hogs MAESTRO white bristle brushes are built with the natural curve of bristles turned inwards. Two equally-sized tufts of bristle are set against each other without tension and made to interlock. Properly cleaned after each use the brush will retain. Da Vinci Maestro Oil Paint Brush There is simply no better or respected name in the fine art brush world than da Vinci. Handmade in Germany, these Kolinsky Sable brushes simply have all the terrific qualities that professional artists are looking for.
When it comes to art supplies and tools it is very difficult choosing the right ones for your work. We all know the importance of good quality materials and tools for creating art since you do not want to be distracted in your creative process by tools and mediums that do not give you the desired or expected effect. It can be a real challenge finding good brushes that will help you get the best results. For oil painting, I can recommend Da Vinci paint brushes because those are the ones I have been using for many years and was always very satisfied with them.

When it comes to brushes there is a choice between synthetic or natural bristles. Also, there are many different kinds of natural bristles which you can choose from depending on your technique or the medium you are using for painting. There are boar bristles, mink, badger, squirrel and sable which are the best and the softest for watercolour painting. Hog bristles are the best for oil painting because they can carry a large amount of thick oil colour due to their stiffness and thickness of bristles.
Even then when you choose between synthetic or natural bristles and between softer or thicker ones there is still a choice of the shape of the bristles. There is always a certain shape of the brush you will use the most depending on your painting style and techniques you prefer.
I am one of those that prefer natural bristles to synthetic ones. I don’t say synthetic ones are not good just that I love my tools to be made with utmost care and precision and you get that when buying artist grade natural bristle brushes.
Da Vinci Oil Paint Brushes
Those are hand made and every part of them is very carefully picked and placed to make you one perfect tool to use. So it is really worth paying that little bit extra and getting yourself an artist-grade hand made natural bristle paint brush.
