I have to admit that I love sable hair brushes. They are expensive, but they last a long time if you take good care of them. I had a professor that wouldn't buy filberts, only flats because they will turn into filberts. I like a good filbert brush though.

These brushes are truely superior brushes and such a great value. I've tried many Kol. Sable brushes and these are my absolute favorites. I use them over my Series seven brushes, and I really love my series seven brushes. They are extremely econimical!!!!!!!

I use these a lot. I paint almost exclusively with oil, so these are essential.

Very good quality, I usually work with Filbert and round sable, staying away from brights, as they tend to leave a streak of paint as you brush.
Advice: once in a while, after cleaning them with a soft mild soap, rub some conditioner, leave it for 20 minutes and rinse with warm water, it will greatly extend the life of your brushes.- Flag as inappropriate

These are very sensitive and have excellent snap and aren't terribly expensive. They repair well too after being bent or left with dried pain ton them for a while.

Givess a different type of stoke than a bristle. Also very helpful for glazing.

expensive but worth the price. quality hairs permit control, fine detail, at least for applying acrylics. and they last a long time, even with frequent use. highly recommended.

I used these for my egg tempera class- my teacher insisted that we use high quality brushes for our work- these brushes performed beautifully.

I have a quite few sable brushes and they are worth their weight in gold ten times over. Their strength and volume are unmatched

The 'pencil brush' is THE traditional inking brush for cartooning. It features a fine rib texture to the hair that hold an extra amount of ink and the hairs tend to stick together and provide a 'spring'. As you lift the brush, the brush straightens allowing you a full range of thick to thin to thick again line weight control. Not other brush is as capable. Brushed should be bought in person and give a water test - does the brush make a tight fine point when rolled to remove excess water, do the hairs separate when the wet brush is thwacked against your other hand? If you have a sharp point and the hairs do not separate, you have an excellent brush!

Quality tools give quality results. Kolinsky red sables are vital to my work. My wife and children know that you don't touch Dad's brushes. With a Kolinsky, you can render a bunny hair in 3D. :)
