Because of kolinsky sable\u2019s strength, spring and snap (its ability to retain its shape), it is acknowledged as the gold standard fibre for watercolour and oil brushes by artists worldwide. It holds a fine point or edge, and if it\u2019s properly cared for it will last for years.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.creativebloq.com\/illustration\/water-colours-7-pro-tips-9134466\" target=\"_blank\">How to illustrate with watercolours: 7 pro tips<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Due to the quality of the hair, these brushes hold water and paint well. Because they hold a larger amount of colour on the brush head, you can apply paint with greater continuity and flood colour onto the work without having to constantly return to the palette to pick up more paint.<\/p>\n<h3>Manufacturing quality<\/h3>\n<p>You can identify brushes made by hand by the size of the belly (the thickest part of the brush head). A thick belly can retain more paint for smoother wash effects. Making a brush by hand is a highly skilled process involving many steps, including individually picking out of any hairs that aren&#8217;t quite perfect.<\/p>\n<h3>Shape and size<\/h3>\n<figure>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" name=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.taterboy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/ynyMvL3K4ukxk89tErCdxJ.jpg?w=900\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\"><\/p><figcaption>Store brushes in a bamboo roll to let them breathe <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Choose a set of brushes in shapes and sizes to suit your painting style and subjects. Over the years I\u2019ve evolved to working with a set of brushes that includes a Flat, several Pointed Rounds and a Rigger. In my day-to-day painting I mostly use the Pointed Rounds from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rosemaryandco.com\/watercolour-brushes\" target=\"_blank\">Rosemary &#038; Co<\/a> series 33 range in sizes 6, 12 and 24, although a few years ago I went through a phase of only using the Flat.<\/p>\n<p>Brush-care is also important: throw away the plastic cover over the bristle head of a new brush and then keep the brushes in a bamboo roll. This enables them to breathe and stay dry, which in turn helps you avoid insect infestations, which can damage the shape.<\/p>\n<p><em>This article was originally published in <\/em><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.myfavouritemagazines.co.uk\/design\/paint-and-draw-magazine-subscription\/\"><em>Paint &#038; Draw<\/em><\/a><em> magazine issue 3. <\/em><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.myfavouritemagazines.co.uk\/Paint-Draw-Print-Back-Issues\/paint-draw-issue-3\/\"><em>Buy it here.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Related articles:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.creativebloq.com\/advice\/top-tips-for-keeping-watercolour-paintings-fresh-and-loose\" target=\"_blank\">Top tips for keeping watercolour paintings fresh and loose<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.creativebloq.com\/features\/choose-the-right-paper-for-your-watercolour-painting\" target=\"_blank\">Choose the right paper for your watercolour painting<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.creativebloq.com\/how-to\/how-to-create-a-beautiful-watercolour-landscape-painting\" target=\"_blank\">How to create a beautiful watercolour landscape painting<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back in my art college days when I was learning how to paint, prescription I thought a sable-hair brush was only used by rich professional artists.
