Description

The range features KUM’s innovative KUM Memory Point, KUM Faded, and KUM French Aqua, brush technologies, each offering distinct painting characteristics.

KUM Memory Point brushes are engineered with highly elastic synthetic fibres that spring back to their original shape after every stroke, maintaining a consistently fine point for exceptional precision. They excel at detailed illustration, botanical painting, fine lines, lettering, and controlled brushwork.

KUM Faded brushes use softer, high-capacity synthetic fibres that absorb generous amounts of water and release colour evenly across the paper. Their smooth flow makes them ideal for expressive painting, seamless gradients, loose florals, urban sketching, and soft atmospheric washes.

KUM French Aqua brushes are designed for artists who need excellent water-holding capacity while maintaining outstanding control. Their carefully shaped synthetic fibres deliver smooth, even colour application with a responsive point, making them ideal for expressive washes, florals, and detailed watercolour work where both fluidity and precision are important.
