Winsor & Newton Series 7 Kolinsky Sable Brush, Round SH #3

One of the finest brushes for watercolor paintings I have ever used. Windsor & Newton’s reputation of producing the finest art products is well deserved.

Great brush to use to paint with

This brush is pure garbage. It's the third one I've bought. I've treated the brushes very well. Clean them after every use. I've used regular unscented soap. I've used "The Masters" brush cleaner. But to no avail. This brush will not sustain a point and splits after a few uses. In the cast of the latest brush, it split immediately leaving "railroad" brush strokes.Again, this was my third WINSOR NEWTON SERIES 7 #3 brush and I am done with the brand.

If you ink comics and such and you get a good one of these with a sharp clean point you’ll be happy.Windsor’s are not cheap and not every one is perfect.But I’ve had pretty good luck so far.

I've used this brush for 40 years in my cartooning work and have always been pleased. When I was unable to order some new ones from US suppliers recently, I was able to obtain some through Amazon from a British supplier. The only reason I'm subtracting a star in this rating is that during shipping the small package was crushed a bit, and the ferrule on one of the brushes arrived seriously bent.

I had heard about the W&N Series 7and wasn't really sure I wanted to spend that kind of money to"try" a new brand of paintbrush. But one day I decided to give it a shot for the less expensive size. I amSO glad I did! These brushes are *excellent*! Icant tell you how much I enjoy using this brush and will surely buy others. They are absolutely worth every penny!

These brushes, and I have several, are stellar!I do watercolor work and these brushes are the best for detail... they keep a point and hold paint. I will continue to buy them

Best brushes out there for inking. I get almost a years of extremely heavy use (a few hundred illustrations a year) out of one before it needs to be replace. When not in use even for a minute or two clean off the brush with water to help preserve the life of the brush. Recommend using a paper towel to dry brush as the paper towel with absorb some ink that is still in the shaft of the brush.
