A Kolinsky sable round for premium point control and smooth paint handling.
Rosemary’s Series 44 is the company’s Kolinsky sable round, sold in short-handle format and also available in a long-handle variant. That makes it the classic all-purpose premium brush shape in the brand’s natural-hair line. Kolinsky rounds are valued for a sharp point, a responsive belly, and a smooth, even release that suits everything from fine detail to small-area painting. Compared with synthetic rounds in the same price range, a sable round usually feels more elastic and holds paint more gracefully, especially in watercolour and controlled miniature work. The option of both handle lengths gives the brush flexibility across disciplines: short for close bench work, long for more open-handed painting. For customers wanting one elegant round brush type to cover many tasks, this is the most straightforward choice in the range. [inferred]
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 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
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.
