Kolibri Series 8805 – Round Watercolour Brush with Synthetic Sable Fibres
The Kolibri Series 8805 is a round brush designed primarily for watercolour painting. It features golden synthetic fibres designed to imitate the characteristics of sable hair, combining a fine point with a versatile round shape.
The pointed tip allows for precise work, while larger sizes can be used for broader strokes and covering larger areas. The series is available in a wide range of sizes, making it suitable for different painting requirements.
Golden Synthetic Sable Fibres
The brush is made from golden synthetic fibres designed to imitate sable hair. The fibres are suitable for controlled watercolour application and allow the brush to be used for both fine details and broader strokes, depending on the selected size.
Round Shape with a Fine Point
The round shape and fine point make the Kolibri 8805 suitable for:
- fine details and small elements
- thin and precise lines
- contours and outlines
- ornaments and delicate strokes
- controlled application of colour
- broader strokes and larger areas when using larger sizes
Practical Handle and Ferrule
The brush has a short blue lacquered handle that provides comfortable handling and good control during painting. The silver ferrule securely holds the brush fibres in place.
Suitable for Watercolour and Other Water-Based Media
The Kolibri 8805 is designed primarily for watercolour painting. It can also be used with gouache, inks and other compatible water-based media, depending on the consistency and application of the paint.
How to Care for Your Kolibri 8805 Brush
Before first use, remove any protective gum arabic with lukewarm water. Rinse the brush thoroughly and reshape the fibres gently.
After painting, clean the brush immediately rather than allowing paint to dry in the fibres. For more thorough cleaning, you can use Kolibri Brush Cleaner or Kolibri Brush Soap. The soap contains natural fats that help care for the brush fibres.
Avoid drying the brush on a radiator, hot surface or in direct sunlight. Allow it to dry naturally, preferably with the bristles facing down.
