White taklon synthetic pointed rounds — sharp, springy and vegan, with the flow for washes and the control for fine lines.
The Snowdrop is Rosemary & Co's white taklon range — a synthetic developed over a long stretch of sampling to land on exactly the right blend of filament diameters. It was originally worked up in collaboration with watercolourist Vladislav Yeliseyev, and the pointed rounds are the heart of the family.
The points are sharp and cleanly tapered. They flow paint willingly — enough pigment to keep a wash moving, while still pulling a tight, controlled stroke when you need one. That combination makes them a genuine favourite for drawing, architectural work and illustration, as well as everyday watercolour painting.
They are most loved by watercolourists, but they hold up equally well in acrylics, oils, water-mixable oils and gouache. Fully synthetic and vegan friendly.
What makes this brush special
Sharp, cleanly tapered point with excellent snap. White taklon filament flows paint willingly for washes, then pulls a tight, controlled stroke for fine lines. Returns to a point wash after wash. 100% synthetic and vegan — no animal hair, easy to clean, and kinder on the wallet than natural sable.
Medium compatibility
Smooth flow for washes, controlled lines and fine points.
Best with properly thinned acrylics, especially for detail and glazing.
Handles opaque water-based paint when thinned to a brush-friendly consistency.
Great for
- Watercolour painting — washes, detail and everything in between
- Drawing, architectural work and illustration where you need one brush that both floods and points
- Acrylics, oils, water-mixable oils and gouache
- Miniature and model painters wanting a springy synthetic for base coats, glazes and controlled washes
- Painters looking for a vegan-friendly alternative to natural sable
Technique & use
- General Painting
- Detail Work
- Glazing & Blending
- Wash Application
Less ideal for
- Very large saturated flat washes — a dedicated natural squirrel mop carries more water
- Painters who specifically want the feel and flow of natural Kolinsky sable
- Heavy dry-brush techniques where a stiffer bristle holds up better

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
Rinse thoroughly after use, reshape the point and dry flat or tip-down. Don't leave standing in the water pot. Let the snap of the taklon do the work — light pressure keeps the point sharp for lines; more load opens it out for a wash.
