Paintbrushes

Hawk Miniatures Paintbrushes produces a range of Kolinsky Sable brushes which includes Round paintbrushes with standard length bristles, Flat paintbrushes and Angled Liner paintbrushes.  

The Kolinsky (Mustela Siberica) is a species of the Mink family, a member of the Weasel clan and a native of Siberia and northeast China. There is no doubt Kolinsky is the best hair available for the manufacture of artists’ brushes due to being conical in shape, strong in character with a long tapered point and thick belly. The excellent snap & spring together with immense liquid holding capacity make them the first choice for watercolourists.  Though they can be used with any type of paint such as Oils, Acrylics and Enamels. The high cost of the hair is the only major drawback (usually weight for weight three times the price of gold). Once used however the difference compared to others is well worth the difference in price. Consider Kolinsky Sable a long-term investment.
