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.
So much so that in 1866, Her Majesty Queen Victoria gave orders that Winsor & Newton, holders of the Royal Warrant, be commanded to produce the very finest water colour brushes in her favourite size: the No. 7.
The resulting brush is known as the Series 7 and the standards of quality set in 1866 are the same today.
The Series 7 Range
The unique features of a Series 7 brush are its wider belly coupled with a long tapered point. Winsor Newton Series 7 brushes are handmade from the finest selected pure Kolinsky Sable, attached to a black polished handle with a rust-proof, seamless nickel ferrule. If your art demands the very best art materials, then these brushes are worth the investment.
Length of Service
Series 7 can quite literally last a lifetime, but they must be washed and dried carefully after use and avoid exposure to moths!
When in constant use, this lifetime is obviously lessened. Even so, because the point is so tapered, a worn Series 7 will still out perform many solid dressed brushes.
Each brush comes in a sealed plastic tube to fully protect your wonderful brush! |
