✨ Pure Sable Excellence
Experience the difference with our 100% pure red sable hair brushes, carefully selected and hand-crafted for professional artists. These premium brushes feature a perfectly balanced spring that provides exceptional control for your most detailed work.
Whether you're creating delicate watercolour washes, blending oils, or painting intricate miniature details, these brushes deliver consistent, professional results that synthetic alternatives simply cannot match.

- Reduced frustration during detailed work where flow control matters
This naturally superior liquid capacity means you can focus on your artwork, not your tools.

Each Series 99 brush comes with our exclusive Hobby Heaven protective tube featuring ventilated caps. This thoughtful design allows your brushes to:
- Dry properly even while protected
- Maintain their perfect shape during transport
- Prevent damage to the delicate tips
- Last significantly longer with proper storage

💡 Brush Selection Tips
💦 Watercolour Artists
Consider sizes 4 through 8 as your workhorse brushes, with smaller sizes (0-3) for detail and larger sizes (10+) for washes and backgrounds.
Pro Tip: A size 6 or 8 Series 99 brush can often handle an entire painting from wash to detail, saving you from constantly switching brushes.
🎭 Oil Painters
Sizes 2-6 are excellent for detail work, while 8-12 work well for blending and larger areas. Long handles offer better control for easel work.
Pro Tip: For detailed portrait work in oils, a size 2 or 4 Series 99 brush offers the perfect balance of control and paint capacity.
🔍 Miniature Painters
The smallest sizes (4/0-2/0) are essential for eyes, faces, and fine details, while sizes 0-2 work well for general detail painting of small models.
Pro Tip: A 3/0 or 2/0 brush is ideal for painting miniature eyes, shoulder emblems, and text on scrolls—details that make your miniatures stand out.
