Winsor and Newton Series 7 brushes are made from the finest quality kolinsky sable available. Hand made using the finest materials. World Class. The very best brushes for use with watercolor and gouache.
Series 7 is the world's finest water color brush. The standards of quality for this brush were set in 1866, when Her Majesty Queen Victoria gave orders that Winsor & Newton should produce the very finest watercolor brushes in her favorite size, the No.7.
Today, Series 7 is manufactured from only the finest pure Kolinsky Sable hair, in rust-proof, seamless nickel-plated ferrules with black polished handles.
Series 7 uses only the highest quality raw materials and enjoys handmade manufacture by brush makers with years of experience.
Most importantly, Series 7 fulfils the essential qualities that define the finest water color brush for artists:
Point - the brush comes to a crisp point which is maintained during use.
Snap & Spring - the brush snaps crisply back into shape with the right degree of spring to allow the artist superior control between the brush and painting surface.
Flow Control - The color flows evenly and consistently from the point, with enough color carrying capacity in the belly of the brush to allow flowing gestural strokes.
For artists who appreciate exquisite quality and longevity, there is no other brush than the Series 7. Today, just as in 1866, the Series 7 is made for those who understand that the quality of the brush will be reflected in the quality of their work.
