Kolibri Series 3212 – Cat’s Tongue Brush for Oil and Acrylic Paints
The Kolibri Series 3212 is a versatile artist’s brush designed primarily for use with oil and acrylic paints. It is made from high-quality white Chinese bristles and features a distinctive cat’s tongue shape, combining the characteristics of a flat and rounded brush.
This shape allows you to work with both the wider surface of the brush and its rounded tip. The brush is therefore suitable for layering colours, creating soft transitions, shaping forms and adding more precise strokes and details.
White Chinese Bristles
White Chinese bristles are firm yet flexible and are well suited to working with oil and acrylic paints. They provide good control and allow you to create both expressive and more precise strokes depending on how the brush is handled.
Cat’s Tongue Shape
The distinctive cat’s tongue shape combines the advantages of a flat and rounded brush. The wider part can be used for applying colour and creating broader strokes, while the rounded tip is suitable for more precise work and finer details.
The brush is suitable for:
- oil and acrylic paints,
- layering colours,
- creating soft colour transitions,
- modelling shapes and forms,
- precise strokes and details,
- painting on a variety of surfaces.
Long Handle and Secure Ferrule
The brush features a long, lacquered silver-coloured handle that provides comfortable handling and good control while painting. The silver ferrule securely holds the bristle bundle in place and complements the elegant appearance of the brush.
Suitable for Beginners and Experienced Artists
The Kolibri 3212 is suitable for artists of different skill levels. The combination of firm natural bristles and the practical cat’s tongue shape offers a wide range of possibilities when working with oil and acrylic paints.
How to Care for the Kolibri 3212 Brush
Before first use, rinse the brush with water to remove the protective gum arabic used to protect the bristles during storage.
After each use, clean the brush thoroughly and remove all traces of paint. When using acrylic paints, it is especially important to clean the brush as soon as possible, as acrylics dry quickly.
For regular care of the natural bristles, Kolibri brush soap can be used to help maintain their flexibility. Handle the bristles gently during cleaning and allow the brush to dry naturally after washing. Avoid direct sunlight and excessive heat.
