Pure Kolinsky designer brush for illustrative and design work. Versatile pointed shape.
The Rosemary & Co Series 22 is a pure Kolinsky sable designer brush, originally profiled for illustration and design work. The designer shape features a slightly different belly and taper compared to standard rounds, giving a versatile stroke that suits both precise mark-making and broader design work.
For painters working in illustration, lettering, or decorative arts, the Series 22 offers Kolinsky quality in a profile optimised for their needs. The Rosemary & Co value proposition applies fully — genuine Kolinsky performance at a fraction of what comparable continental European designer brushes would cost.
