Golden synthetic pointed round. Excellent affordable brush for painters on a budget.
The Rosemary & Co Series 301 is a golden synthetic pointed round, offering Rosemary & Co's Yorkshire craftsmanship in an affordable synthetic format. The golden synthetic fibres provide good point retention, decent flow, and reliable performance for painters who want quality without the cost of natural hair.
For miniature painters and watercolourists, the Series 301 is a solid budget choice. It handles well for general painting, practice, and utility tasks. Many painters keep synthetic brushes like the 301 for everyday work, saving their natural sable for important pieces. The Rosemary & Co quality means these synthetics are a cut above generic alternatives.

How we measure a brushA visual guide to the measurements shown in the size chart above.
These are the same measurements shown in the size chart above. Brush sizes are not standardised across brands, so use these dimensions when comparing brushes within a series or between manufacturers.
Tuft Length
The visible length of the brush hairs, measured from the ferrule to the tip.
Belly Diameter
The widest point of the brush head. On round brushes, this is the widest part of the belly.
Total Length
The full measurement from the tip of the brush to the end of the handle.
How to care for your brush
Rinse after use, clean with brush soap periodically. Synthetic fibres are durable and forgiving. Reshape after washing. Good value means practical replacement when performance eventually declines.
