What Makes the Kolibri Series 32 Brush Unique?
The Kolibri Round Brush Series 32 is the perfect tool for silk and fabric painting. It offers outstanding quality, precision, and durability, making it the ideal choice for every artist. Here are some of the features that make this brush a great companion for your creative projects:
1. Bristles Made from Black Cattle Ear Hair – Perfect for Fine Details
The combination of softness, elasticity, and durability makes black cattle ear hair an excellent choice for working with delicate materials like silk. These natural bristles provide superb control and excellent colour absorption, enabling smooth and even strokes without interruption. The unique natural material ensures great control when working with detailed patterns, textures, or precise lines on silk and textiles.
2. Perfect Shape – Round with a Fine Point for Maximum Flexibility
The brush’s shape is designed for ultimate versatility. The round body makes it easy to cover larger areas, while the fine tip is perfect for detailed work, contours, and precise lines. This brush gives you everything you need – from broad strokes to intricate detail – ideal for painting on silk, textiles, and other delicate materials.
3. Elegant Design and High-Quality Craftsmanship
The short, lacquered handle in an attractive red-and-white design is not only visually appealing but also ergonomic. The comfortable grip allows for maximum control, even during long painting sessions. The nickel-plated ferrule holds the bristles firmly in place, ensuring their stability and preventing shedding even with frequent, intense use.
Why is the Kolibri Series 32 Ideal for You?
The Kolibri Round Brush Series 32 is designed with the specific needs of artists working on silk and textiles in mind. It enables you to achieve high precision and flawless results.
Specifically Designed for Silk and Fabric Painting
Silk painting demands exceptional delicacy and control. The Series 32 was developed to meet the high precision required by this material. With this brush, you’ll achieve beautiful results even when working with the most delicate surfaces.
Exceptional Colour Absorption for Perfect Results
The natural bristles hold colour very well, allowing you to apply smooth, consistent strokes. No more uneven application, blotches, or broken lines – your work will always be smooth and refined.
Long Lifespan and High Wear Resistance
Thanks to natural materials that are both elastic and durable, this brush will serve you well even with frequent use. With proper care, it won't shed bristles and retains its shape over time. Investing in a natural hair brush pays off.
How to Care for Your Kolibri Series 32 Brush for Maximum Longevity
To ensure your Kolibri brush lasts as long as possible, proper care is essential. Here are a few tips to keep your premium tool in top condition:
1. Before First Use
The brushes are coated with a layer of gum arabic to protect them during transport. Before using, gently rinse the brush with warm water to remove this protective layer.
2. During Use
To keep your brush in excellent condition, rinse it with warm water immediately after use. Acrylic paints dry quickly, so the sooner you clean the brush, the better.
3. Regular Maintenance
We recommend using Kolibri brush cleaner and natural soap, which contain natural fats that help keep the bristles elastic and prevent breakage. This regular care routine will significantly extend the life of your brush.
4. Proper Drying
Never dry your brush on a heater, stove, or in direct sunlight. The best method is to let it air dry naturally with the bristles pointing downward, so the water can drain properly and the bristles maintain their shape.
