Description

Da Vinci Colineo Synthetic Kolinsky Sable Brushes and Sets are premium round watercolour brushes made in Germany and designed for exceptional control, flexibility, and colour handling. Part of the respected Da Vinci Brushes range, the Colineo series uses advanced synthetic Kolinsky fibres to closely imitate the performance of traditional Siberian Kolinsky red sable, without the use of animal hair.

Each Da Vinci Colineo round brush is crafted with a carefully balanced blend of straight and wavy synthetic fibres in varying lengths. This construction creates extra fine tips and beautifully tapered points, offering high elasticity, excellent colour absorption, and smooth, consistent paint release. The result is a brush that performs reliably for detailed work, general painting, and controlled washes.

These synthetic Kolinsky brushes are compatible with watercolour, gouache, and ink, making them a versatile choice for artists who work across multiple water-based media. The short, water-resistant laminated wooden handle is finished in a soft grey lacquer and fitted with a durable aluminium ferrule for long-term stability and comfort during use.

Da Vinci Colineo brushes are fully vegan and animal-friendly, offering professional-level performance while meeting modern ethical standards.

Series 442
COLINEO Round Wash brushes.
• Designed specifically as wash brushes ideal for broader strokes and smooth, even watercolour washes. 
• Typically available in sizes like 0, 2 and 4 with round shapes suited to covering larger areas or laying down controlled washes. 
• The construction emphasises a slightly longer, more absorbent belly compared with standard rounds, making it easier to hold more water and paint and create uniform washes.

Series 412
COLINEO Round brushes with extra long hair.
• Focused on extra long hair with a very tapered point, giving a slightly different feel to paint release and flow. 
• The longer hair extension makes these brushes great for elegant, sweeping strokes, stippling and retouching, especially where you want a more generous load and extended brush stroke without reloading paint often. 
• Though still technically suitable for washes, the emphasis here is on controlled brushwork and versatility in stroke length rather than wash focus alone.
