Your cart is empty.Series 35 has an extra long taper at the tip. The unique taper is great for fast, loose watercolor painting and is a favorite amongst illustrators, cartoonists and animators. Great for drawing long, clean lines. The Maestro designation denotes the highest quality winter male Kolinsky Red Sable hair from the Tobol River region in Eastern Siberia. All brushes are handmade from raw material to finished brush by skilled artisans at the da Vinci factory in Germany. A favorite of watercolorist Charles Reid. Sizes 000 to 24.

Ended up getting a brush in good condition and wow this brush is worth the price. Much better than any of my synthetic brushes and of very high quality.

I wanted a kolinsky brush for painting minis so i bought a bunch of Windsor & Newton series 7 in several sizes and they were all trash.They were hands down the worst brush i have ever used in any price range,so i ordered this beauty.The handle has little flat spots so it doesn't roll across the table and feels great in the hand.The brush holds a amazing point,the best out of any brush i have personally used.The tip is a little longer then most brushes so its perfect for getting in weird places and doing details.Get your self a size 1 and you will be able to even do tiny eye balls.And then get your self a size 2 for base coating and you should be set.Never need another brush except maybe for dry brushing and stippling.I personally will only buy this brush from here on out.

I just received this bad mama jama, and it’s incredible. The tip is so sharp I am able to paint thin lines, and edge highlighting has never been easier! It holds enough paint to not dry out immediately and is thin and sharp enough to fit most places on my mini’s. Truly a great experience all around for me. 10/10

These are expensive brushes. I purchased a size 1 & size 0. Each was supplied by a different vendor/shipper. The size 1 had the small bristle protector, and the brush was packaged in a nice small plastic housing. Excellent. This size 0 was just thrown into a bag, along with another item. No bristle protector, no plastic sleeve, just a loose brush. The bristles were totally bent over and misshapen. The person that packed this did not care enough to take care that my item arrived safely. Purchase these brushes, but beware of the vendor/shipper.

To be clear, natural hair brushes from every company are plagued with quality control issues. Some work great for the lifespan of the brush and others splay and can't hold a point during the first painting session.I happened to get a good one.Comparing it to the W&N Series 7 brush of the same size, I much prefer the DaVinci.Ability to hold a tip: They both hold a tip equally well. However, the DaVinci can hold more paint and yet still hold a tip versus the W&N that starts to split. I believe this is in part because the DaVinci does have slightly longer bristles so the belly of the brush is fuller.Control: Despite the longer bristles which you'd think would result in less precision, the DaVinci was much easier to use when doing fine edge high lighting in the 'Eavy Metal style on Primaris Space Marines. It was very easy to lay a "chunky" edge highlighting followed by a medium line and concluding with that ultra thin highlight. The W&N was good at only the chunky first highlight but lacked the control to lay down the subsequent thinner highlights.Paint flow/capacity: As mentioned earlier, the DaVinci can hold more paint due to its longer bristles and bigger belly. I didn't have to refill the brush as often and the paint never dried on the tip.The only downside is that with longer bristles it can be harder to paint certain parts of the model....even when using sub-assemblies. I on occasion did grab the shorter bristled W&N to reach hard to get places. But otherwise, I liked the DaVinci so much, and the price is really good now (and about 10 dollars cheaper than W&N), that I bought a few spares.Great brush!Update: I've also tried the Raphael 8404 size 1. Although its got a bigger belly than any brush I've used, the bristles are a little "mushy" and lack spring. It can be used for edge highlighting ('Eavy Metal style) but its best used for base coating and washes.In summary: I've tried now the DaVinci, W&N, and Raphael and hands down the DaVinci is my go to brush for anything requiring detail. I love this brush!

I use these brushes for painting miniatures, and they are absolutely fantastic. Springy, they hold their point, and feel good in the hand

Use this brush for mini painting and love it. It was hard for me to pull the trigger as it is more of an expensive brush but this is my go to detail work brush. Will continue to buy !
