Sable & sable mix brushes
Sable is the classic hair for a watercolour brush with marvellous attributes that make it a joy to paint with, fine spring, excellent water-holding capacity and impeccable pointing. Generally thought of as a watercolour brush sable is also useful for softer parts of oil paintings. We have long handled sables intended for oil paint.
Sable & sable mix brushes
RENAISSANCE SABLES
Pro Arte
From Pro Arte, these are very attractive artists’ watercolour brushes at a price extremely reasonable for sable. They have short dark green handles, gold plated ferrules and come in sizes 000-16. Excellent spring and point and holds plenty of water. Washed well after use with soap and water, sable brushes last and keep their points for years.
 
PRO ARTE PURE SABLE ONE-STROKE
Pro Arte 11
Series 11 is manufactured from red sable and possesses a sharp chisel edge. It is available up to 5/8” and is intended for waterbased paints.
 
PRO ARTE CONNOISSEUR BRUSHES
Pro Arte 100
Connoisseur is the name given by Pro Arte to a blend of Prolene and sable which they have perfected to combine the best qualities of the two. It feels and looks like sable, it bellies, holds colour and points well but in addition it is very hardwearing and much cheaper than pure sable. We stock Series 100 which is a round and Series 99 a one stroke.
 
DA VINCI RED SABLE BRUSHES FOR OIL PAINTING
Da Vinci 1610
From Da Vinci these lovely brushes do perfectly the job I have always spoiled my sable watercolour brushes to do. A sable enables you to lightly sketch thinned oil paint on to a canvas. They also enable you to smooth away edges of paint. Available in rounds or flats these have long handles nice for easel work. Sable watercolour brushes can, of course, be used instead but, once you have started using them for oil paint they are spoiled for watercolour. They are available in rounds for detail painting, brights for area work and filberts.
 
DA VINCI BLACK SABLE BRUSHES FOR OIL PAINTING
Da Vinci 1610
These long handled sables are intended specifically for use as oil painting brushes. Black sable has a good basic spring and can hold a fine point. These are good thick brushes in rounds, filberts and flats which we keep up to a size 30, quite a brush!
