More than any other tool, the brush is a direct and fluid extension of the artist’s hand, eye and expressive vision. It is with that principle in mind that Winsor & Newton has crafted fine artists’ brushes for over 150 years, earning a reputation for making the world’s finest from the very best raw materials. The standards of quality for this brush were set in 1866, when her majesty Queen Victoria gave orders that Winsor & Newton, holders of the Royal Warrant, be commanded to produce the very finest water color brushes in her favorite size the No. 7. The resulting brush known as the Series 7 and the standards of quality set in 1866 are the same today. There are three essential qualities that define the finest water color brush: Point, Snap & Spring and Flow Control. Since 1866, the handmade Series 7 has proven itself to be the standard –bearer in all those qualities, offering a rapier-like point, perfectly balanced spring with extraordinary capacity and flow control. For artists who appreciate exquisite quality and longevity, there is no other brush than the Winsor & Newton Series 7. Review: I did my best to make the financial leap with as much wisdom ... - When I got back into painting miniatures several months ago, I did my best to make the financial leap with as much wisdom as possible. I am a master painter of 28mm historical minis. I did a not-so-wise thing by going to local craft hobby stores and purchasing synthetic brushes. Cheap, fast and good in the beginning, I found myself just waiting for these brushes to give out. I even washed them with a popular cleaner. Didn't make a difference. Around 5 or 6 uses, separation and curling inevitably occurred. While not useless, they were not enjoyable to use after a very short time. Despite spending $4 for a brush, I took a step up and invested in a well-known set of Kolinsky sables for around $22 ($3/brush). Much better but I noticed a paucity of actual hairs to their brushes and so, I found myself loading paint in the brush constantly. They did hold up well but, the paint did not go on smoothly. I finally stepped onto the luxury car lot of brushes and invested $12 in a Windsor Newton. There's no going back. They are perfectly shaped and thick. They seem to be impervious to loosing their original quality, especially since I take good care of them. A loaded brush holds so much paint, I find myself making smooth strokes with exceptional results, and reloading about 1/4th the time. I am slowly replacing my brushes with all Windsor Newtons. You will need less brushes overall since a #3 is more than sufficient to paint large areas AND all but the finest of details. An initial investment in 3 or 4 brushes is more than enough. By all means keep your old brushes for priming, washing, dry brushing, etc; but the real painting will be covered by your 3 Windsors. One thing to keep in mind is that you need to under estimate the size of the brushes you'll need. Explanation...while I used to be a big proponent of buying 5/0, 10/0 and even 20/0, all that is out-the-window now. You'll feel silly that you ever did that as a #2 (not 2/0) Windsor is a good place to start. This might seem large compared to what you're used to but, try it first and you'll see. I easily paint pupils with a #2. I purchased a 000 and found it to be minimally useful because the #1, 2 and 3's form a perfect point. This will SAVE you $$$. If you paint 10-15 hrs a week like many of us, you won't be looking for a new brush for at least a year, compared to buying new synthetics every month. Most importantly, painting will become more of a pleasure and your minis will look better. You'll paint faster and you'll dare to become better and try more feats of detail. So take a "$12 chance" on one brush. Start with a #2. You'll be able to do 98% of your painting with it. Then a 0, 1, and 3. I promise you'll wish you made the switch long ago. Review: Holds tip well and lasts for many years. #1 brush for painting miniatures. - Hands down the best miniature painting brush. With good cleaning and careful use not to get paint into the ferrule, these brushes will last several years. In fact, I've used my brushes for over 4 years. The cost is worth the quality - these are the #1 paint brushes for miniature painting. Just make sure you buy the correct length, the miniature series brushes have a very short length, so I tend to use the series 7 non-miniature size. This brushes hold their tip for many years as long as you clean them periodically. ## Features - The World’s Finest Water Color Brush - for artists who appreciate exquisite quality and longevity, there is no other brush than the Winsor & Newton Series 7. - Point – having a crisp point and maintaining that during use. - Snap & Spring – the brush snaps back crisply into shape with the right degree of spring to allow the artist superior control with a degree of give and take between the brush and painting surface. - Flow Control – the color flows evenly and consistently from the point with enough color carry capacity within the belly of the brush to lay down a flowing gestural stoke of colour. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000YQG9ZK | | Best Sellers Rank | #2,037 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ( See Top 100 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ) #1 in Round Art Paintbrushes | | Brand Name | Winsor & Newton | | Bristle Type | Flagged Bristle | | Brush Width | 2.1 Millimeters | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (7,210) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00094376860993 | | Handle Type | polished | | Included Components | Brush | | Item Part Number | 5007002 | | Item Type Name | Watercolor Brush | | Item Weight | 0.01 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | ColArt Americas | | Manufacturer Part Number | 5007002 | | Material Type | Animal Hair | | Model Number | 5007002 | | Paint Type | Watercolor | | Set Name | Winsor & Newton Series 7 | | Size | #2 | | UPC | 094376860993 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Winsor & Newton - **Brush Width:** 2.1 Millimeters - **Color:** Black - **Material:** Animal Hair - **Size:** #2 ## Images ![Series 7 Kolinsky Sable Brush, Round SH #2, Brown - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51EQvgJYeGL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will alcohol based ink be harmful for these brushes?** A: I have used WN series 7 brushes for decades- both in water based and oil paints. Keeping the bristles soft and straight requires that they be well cleaned, conditioned, and repointed after each use. if there is any residue left in the hair or in the ferrel the brush will deteriorate and split. I clean them in WN brush cleaner and wash them out with water - I soap them with Masters cleaner and preserver and point them. They are the best...use them accordingly. **Q: Are these only for watercolor? Do they have acrylic?** A: Because the hairs are soft, very soft (after all, they are sable), I think the brush could only be used with liquid media. I use mine for India ink drawings. If you're using acrylic as you would oil, then maybe the brush could be used as a blender (although it may be too soft for that). If you're using acrylic as watercolor, then the brush should work. Winsor & Newton has a website you can check. It shows this brush only for watercolor. They do have a collection of acrylic brushes. **Q: Which W & N series brush is the best for oil/laquer/acrylic** A: The series 7 is the best for acrylic and ink. I don't know about oils and lacquer, I have never used those mediums. **Q: There are a lot of reviews mentioning inconsistent quality and possible knockoffs. Which sellers should I stay away from & is amazons stock authentic?** A: National Art Supply inventory is 100% authentic. We have submitted invoices to amazon to prove authenticity. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I did my best to make the financial leap with as much wisdom ... *by G***H on February 5, 2017* When I got back into painting miniatures several months ago, I did my best to make the financial leap with as much wisdom as possible.

This thing has never been able to hold a point from the first time I used it. Minimal paint, well hydrated, one touch and it splits in half. I bought this brush to paint details on faces and it has been the worst brush I've ever bought. Do not purchase. ## Frequently Bought Together - Winsor & Newton Series 7 Kolinsky Sable Brush, Round SH #2, Brown - General Pencil Company The Masters Brush Cleaner & Preserver 2.5 0z. - Redgrassgames Everlasting Wet Palette for Miniature Painting and Acrylic Paints - Painter Lite 8.9" - Keeps Paint Fresh, Approved by Pro Painters - Painting Palette with Lid, Seal, 50 Sheets, 2 Foams --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/2732036-series-7-kolinsky-sable-brush-round-sh-2-brown](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/2732036-series-7-kolinsky-sable-brush-round-sh-2-brown) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
