It is no coincidence that great international watercolor masters such as Roberto Zangarelli, Eugean Gorean, and Jan Min have selected these brushes for their works. It is also a highly demanded tool for iconography, restoration, miniature painting, and ink work.

You can build up thin, transparent glazes without any fear of the brush scratching or lifting the underlying, dry layers of paint. Can Kolinsky sable be used with oil paint?
