Your cart is empty.Da vinci's highest grade kolinsky red sable hair from the tobol river regions in eastern siberia. Expertly shaped, they are unmatched for spring, resiliency, color-carrying capacity and ability to hold a sharp point. Color can be spread thinly and evenly for subtle shades of color, structuring or layering. Excellent for precise, controlled brush strokes, detail work and fine blending. The best oil sable brushes on the market today. Made in Germany.

Sable brushes are very expensive and fragile. I appreciate this vendor (SADEON) understands the importance of proper packaging and labeling for this kind of brushes. Unlike Blick's unconscionable sticky labeling, these brushes were individually bubble wrapped first, then labeled outside on the wraps instead of on the handles. I also applaud Amazon's use of seemingly larger than necessary boxes to ship these brushes which is in fact a must for safe delivery of such items.

It seems like a lot to spend on one brush, but, it really makes a difference to do so. Retains its shape and isn't shedding bristles. Buy cheap brushes to find out what sizes you feel most comfortable working with, and then upgrade with these and buy those preferred sizes. With proper care, it's a good long run investment for great brush performance.

I ordered a small flat brush for detailing on some of my smaller oil paintings. It is a better quality compared to my higher grade synthetic brushes, but the handle is noticeably warped from the wood being dried incorrectly, I'm not sure if they are kiln dried but I feel DaVinci could QA this given how much these brushes are. On a minor note to some budding painters out there working with oils, unless you won't be painting for a few months, do NOT use thinner/turps to clean these brushes (or any of your brushes for that matter), just dip your brush in safflower oil and let it sit. I've seen too many people destroy good sable brushes using turps/mineral spirits to clean their brushes after every session.So to summarize... these bristles are amazingly well made, but the handle is kind of crap, so I'm deducting a star for that unfortunately.

These are great brushes. I use them with oils. However, I rating this low. Why? Because the brush had no plastic sleeve to protect bristles. The brush is fine but it could have been destroyed.

I got some Escoda and Da Vinci brushes to compare.(Escoda brushes: Reserva, Prado, Versatil. Da Vinci: Maestro, Marder (oil brush), Harbin, Nova)(Mine came with the protective cap, but the Harbin I got around the same time did not.)The Kolinsky Marder seems like it is close to the Maestro, at least out of the brushes I have. It might be a little softer, but it has a nice sharp point. I like all of the Da Vinci brushes. The prices on Amazon are great too. :)When the brushes start to wear out, or "break in" more, I'll come back to update my reviews.

Outstanding quality brush at a great price.Was terriffied when I opened the box to see this expensive brush wrapped and sealed in shrink plastic in such a way that the brush hairs were jammed into the corner of the bag all the way up to the ferrule (so that the hairs were at a complete 45 degree angle from the ferrule!) There was no sleeve on the ferrule.Fortunately the quality of the brush is such that the hairs have come back to shape for the most part, but I still cannot comprehend such wreckless packing of such an expensive item.There seems to be no rhyme or reason to packing methods. One dollar items are packed like gold, hundred dollar items are sometimes treated like rubbish.All in all I have been very fortunate with only the occaisonal residual damage,but who needs the drama?

I love the Kolinsky Sable oil painting brushes and this one from da Vinci is no exception. The brush holds paint well and does a great job of spreading paint evenly. I particularly like this one for glazing, but it is also handy for more detailed work. The sable hairs are soft and resilient and are firmly clamped into the metal ferrule. The price on Amazon is a huge savings over the regular cost.
