What makes this brush special
This brush should feel precise without being brittle. The point comes together cleanly, but the belly still carries enough paint to keep the stroke flowing. The hair should respond with a subtle, controlled spring that helps the tip find its place rather than skidding across the surface. The overall sensation is balanced, refined, and highly responsive.

Brush sizes are not standardised across brands — a Size 1 from one maker may differ from another. These brushes are handcrafted, so individual dimensions may vary by 1–2 mm.
How we measure a brush
A 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
Clean gently with lukewarm water and mild brush soap immediately after use. Avoid letting paint dry in the ferrule, and never leave the brush standing in water, which can bend the point and weaken the hair. Reshape the tip after washing and store it protected so the point is not crushed. With Kolinsky sable, careful cleaning preserves the brush’s signature point and paint flow for much longer.

I have enough source-backed detail to keep refining the remaining brands into a second pass if you want the next output to be tighter and more exhaustive.
