GSW Brushes Detail 2-0 Natural Kolinsky

Natural Hair Brushes – Kolinsky

They work best with water-based acrylic paints, especially with fine techniques such as washing, blending, layering and degrading. In general, they are recommended for any technique which requires a more diluted medium. We advise against single stroke or dry brushing techniques as these may harm the tip.

By nature, natural brushes require more care than synthetic hair brushes, as their decay may lead to a loss of firmness and broken hairs. In order for your kolinsky brushes to last longer we recommend avoiding leaving any paint residue to dry in the bristles and shaping them and sharpening the point with our Brush Repair Gel (LINK). After painting, let them stand with the bristles pointing upwards to avoid deforming the tips.

We do not recommended using kolinsky brushes for oil paint, since the products required to clean the bristles after this type of paint can deteriorate the kolinsky natural hair quickly. Good maintenance of these brushes will ensure they last a long time.

Length of the tips:

#2/0: 6 mm
#0: 7mm
#1: 8mm
