## Description

Winsor & Newton Series 7 - The World's Finest Water Color Brush. More than any other tool, the brush is a direct and fluid extension of the artist’s hand, eye and expressive vision. It is with that principle in mind that Winsor & Newton has crafted fine artists’ brushes for over 150 years, earning a reputation for making the world’s finest from the very best raw materials. The standards of quality for this brush were set in 1866, when her majesty Queen Victoria gave orders that Winsor & Newton, holders of the Royal Warrant, be commanded to produce the very finest water color brushes in her favorite size the No. 7. The resulting brush known as the Series 7 and the standards of quality set in 1866 are the same today. There are three essential qualities that define the finest water color brush: Point, Snap & Spring and Flow Control. Since 1866, the handmade Series 7 has proven itself to be the standard –bearer in all those qualities, offering a rapier-like point, perfectly balanced spring with extraordinary capacity and flow control. For artists who appreciate exquisite quality and longevity, there is no other brush than the Winsor & Newton Series 7.

Review: I did my best to make the financial leap with as much wisdom ... - When I got back into painting miniatures several months ago, I did my best to make the financial leap with as much wisdom as possible. I am a master painter of 28mm historical minis. I did a not-so-wise thing by going to local craft hobby stores and purchasing synthetic brushes. Cheap, fast and good in the beginning, I found myself just waiting for these brushes to give out. I even washed them with a popular cleaner. Didn't make a difference. Around 5 or 6 uses, separation and curling inevitably occurred. While not useless, they were not enjoyable to use after a very short time. Despite spending $4 for a brush, I took a step up and invested in a well-known set of Kolinsky sables for around $22 ($3/brush). Much better but I noticed a paucity of actual hairs to their brushes and so, I found myself loading paint in the brush constantly. They did hold up well but, the paint did not go on smoothly. I finally stepped onto the luxury car lot of brushes and invested $12 in a Windsor Newton. There's no going back. They are perfectly shaped and thick. They seem to be impervious to loosing their original quality, especially since I take good care of them. A loaded brush holds so much paint, I find myself making smooth strokes with exceptional results, and reloading about 1/4th the time. I am slowly replacing my brushes with all Windsor Newtons. You will need less brushes overall since a #3 is more than sufficient to paint large areas AND all but the finest of details. An initial investment in 3 or 4 brushes is more than enough. By all means keep your old brushes for priming, washing, dry brushing, etc; but the real painting will be covered by your 3 Windsors. One thing to keep in mind is that you need to under estimate the size of the brushes you'll need. Explanation...while I used to be a big proponent of buying 5/0, 10/0 and even 20/0, all that is out-the-window now. You'll feel silly that you ever did that as a #2 (not 2/0) Windsor is a good place to start. This might seem large compared to what you're used to but, try it first and you'll see. I easily paint pupils with a #2. I purchased a 000 and found it to be minimally useful because the #1, 2 and 3's form a perfect point. This will SAVE you $$$. If you paint 10-15 hrs a week like many of us, you won't be looking for a new brush for at least a year, compared to buying new synthetics every month. Most importantly, painting will become more of a pleasure and your minis will look better. You'll paint faster and you'll dare to become better and try more feats of detail. So take a "$12 chance" on one brush. Start with a #2. You'll be able to do 98% of your painting with it. Then a 0, 1, and 3. I promise you'll wish you made the switch long ago.
Review: Holds tip well and lasts for many years. #1 brush for painting miniatures. - Hands down the best miniature painting brush. With good cleaning and careful use not to get paint into the ferrule, these brushes will last several years. In fact, I've used my brushes for over 4 years. The cost is worth the quality - these are the #1 paint brushes for miniature painting. Just make sure you buy the correct length, the miniature series brushes have a very short length, so I tend to use the series 7 non-miniature size. This brushes hold their tip for many years as long as you clean them periodically.

## Features

- The World’s Finest Water Color Brush - for artists who appreciate exquisite quality and longevity, there is no other brush than the Winsor & Newton Series 7.
- Point – having a crisp point and maintaining that during use.
- Snap & Spring – the brush snaps back crisply into shape with the right degree of spring to allow the artist superior control with a degree of give and take between the brush and painting surface.
- Flow Control – the color flows evenly and consistently from the point with enough color carry capacity within the belly of the brush to lay down a flowing gestural stoke of colour.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this  legitimate Kolinsky brushes. I bought some of these at this price and it turned out they are not genuine,they splayed out after use.**
A: Hello,I'm happy to confirm that yes, these are authentic Kolinsky brushes; as we are a UK company we can get them directly from our good friends at Winsor & Newton.We also sell other Kolinsky brushes, including our very popular SAA brushes: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=me%3DA22VVKI883904X&field-keywords=KolinskyIf you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask The Society for All ArtistsTarot BarnesProduct Data ControllerThe Society for All Artists

**Q: with the size #1 Limited, does the brush come with the box shown? Appears to be a wooden box. Would make me more comfortable in the shipping.**
A: I believe the limited does come with the box. However, I have purchased 3 different Series 7 brushes (#0, #3 and #7) and they have all been packaged in a plastic cylindrical container from the manufacturer. It also has the plastic ring that protects the brush point. They actually take good care in protecting these brushes, I dont think you'll have a problem with the non-limited edition. Unless, of course, your mail person practices their karate with your packages.

**Q: Could you use this with ink (dip pen and/or fountain pen ink)?**
A: I'm sure you could. Although I am unfamiliar with the process of cleaning ink from a brush myself, as long as the brush is kept clean it will last you a good while.

**Q: Can you use series 7 brushes with Tamiya arcylic paints or is it not recommended**
A: Yes you can. I use the #7 daily with modeling acrylics. It is important to keep them clean. With acrylics try to only dip the first half of the brush in paint. This protects the ferrule. Use a good brush soap, reform your point, dry them with the brush hanging down, and it will give you great painting for years. I’ve tried other “just as good as…" brushes. They’re not. The Winsor and Newton Series 7 is the Gold Standard. Btw, I’m an amateur modeler and certainly do not rep any company. I am in IPMS if that counts.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 100% recommend these
*by J***L on November 4, 2025*

these brushes are amazing. You don’t use them with contrast or speed paint just so you know, but the amount of control you have with it is amazing. How it held paint in the bristles and with the even flow with every brushstroke, it was just amazing to work with with them.The synthetic brushes are still good but everything I tried doing with the Windsor and Newton brushes was so much easier and came out way better
