Kolibri Brush flat for oil and acrylic Serie 7008/size 20

Kolibri Series 7008 – Flat Brush for Oil and Acrylic Paints

The Kolibri Series 7008 is a flat artist’s brush designed for use with oil and acrylic paints. It features golden synthetic bristles designed to imitate the properties of fine sable hair. The combination of flexibility, firmness and good shape retention makes the brush suitable for both precise and broader strokes and for working on a variety of painting surfaces.

Golden Synthetic Bristles

The synthetic bristles are designed to replicate the characteristics of fine natural sable hair. They are flexible and durable and retain their shape well, providing good control when applying paint.

The flat shape is suitable for broad strokes and covering larger areas, while the edge of the brush can be used to create narrower and more precise strokes.

Suitable for Textured Surfaces

The Kolibri 7008 is also suitable for painting on canvas with a coarse texture and other textured surfaces. The flexible synthetic bristles can adapt to uneven areas of the surface and help provide an even application of paint.

Suitable for Oil and Acrylic Paints

The brush is primarily designed for:

• oil paints,
• acrylic paints,
• painting on canvas,
• textured and coarse painting surfaces,
• broad and precise strokes,
• layering and applying colour.

Short Handle for Good Control

The Kolibri Series 7008 features a short blue lacquered handle, allowing the brush to be held closer to the bristle bundle. This provides good control over brush movement and is particularly useful for more precise work.

The silver ferrule securely holds the bristles in place and contributes to the brush’s durability during regular use.

How to Care for the Kolibri 7008 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 dried acrylic paint is more difficult to remove.

For regular care, natural soap can be used. After cleaning, allow the brush to dry naturally. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight, radiators or other sources of excessive heat.
