Winsor Newton Series 7 Kolinsky Sable Brush

Winsor & Newton Series 7 is one of the world’s most prestigious watercolour brush ranges. Originally commissioned by Queen Victoria in 1866, each brush is still handmade today with the same craftsmanship and precision. Made from 100% pure Kolinsky sable hair, these brushes offer artists exceptional control, spring, and durability.

Exceptional Sable Quality

Kolinsky sable hair is prized for its remarkable water and colour retention, allowing for long, consistent brushstrokes and smooth colour transitions. When wet, the tip forms a needle-sharp point, perfect for fine details, precise lines, and delicate washes.
