Terrific kolinsky sables
 

For many years I

They are indeed fine brushes! :)

Further, they are now coming out with bristle brushes, too!

Michael,

I believe it was you who gets the credit for informing me about them.

I owe you lunch and then some!

Wow thanks a bunch. I like to use mostly flats and Filbert sables (also known as a cat's tongue by Silver Brush) a lot at the finish of a painting. These are wonderful and they will save me a bundle. Shhh - let's not say this too loud they may raise prices.

Wow!!! I wish I knew about these brushes when I was in art school. They would have saved me a bundle. One of my professors turned me on to sable brushes, and I'm just not happy with anything else now. I'm painting with a small collection of Princeton Brushes now. Thanks for the great tip, Michael!

I tried using a bristle brush once, but it didn't seem to do anything for me at the time. This was mostly because I didn't really know what to do with it. What do you use them for?

Bill,

Thank you so much for letting us know about these brushes! And thank you, Michael, for passing it along as well! I had to order some of these; living in Nevada, you see, I had to check it out! What a difference! I completed an entire painting using these brushes and they are still like new! Not a single hair fraying or anything! Of course, I did start using a bit of Walnut Oil at the same time and after a painting session used some of it on the brushes to keep them soft, so now I'm not sure if it's the brushes or the walnut oil, or a combination of both. Can't wait until the bristle brushes are available!
