Kolibri Fan Brushes Series 3029/size 2

Kolibri Series 3029 – Fan Watercolour Brush with Squirrel Hair

The Kolibri Series 3029 Fan Brush is a specially shaped watercolour brush made from fine natural squirrel hair. Its softness, flexibility and good water-holding capacity make it particularly suitable for watercolour painting, especially when creating soft transitions, shading, textures and decorative effects.

Fine Squirrel Hair for Delicate Work

Natural squirrel hair is a traditional material used for fine watercolour brushes. The hairs are exceptionally soft and absorb water well, helping to achieve smooth and controlled application of watercolour paint.

The brush allows you to work sensitively with the amount of water and colour, making it suitable for delicate strokes as well as soft colour transitions.

Fan-Shaped Bristles for Special Effects

The distinctive feature of the Kolibri 3029 is its fan-shaped bristle arrangement. This shape allows colour to be spread into a wider, softly textured stroke and makes it possible to create effects that are more difficult to achieve with a traditional round or flat brush.

The fan brush can be used for:

• soft shading and colour transitions,
• creating natural textures,
• leaves, grass and other botanical details,
• delicate hair and fur effects,
• loose and decorative strokes,
• experimental watercolour effects.

Comfortable Long Handle

The brush features a long black handle that provides comfortable handling and good control over brush movement. The silver ferrule securely connects the handle to the natural squirrel hair and complements the carefully finished design of the brush.

Who Is the Kolibri 3029 Suitable For?

The Series 3029 is designed primarily for watercolour artists who want to incorporate delicate textures, shading and distinctive brush marks into their work. Its fan-shaped design can be useful for both beginners and experienced painters looking for a specialised brush for watercolour effects.

How to Care for Natural Squirrel Hair

To preserve the softness and flexibility of the squirrel hair, rinse the brush thoroughly with clean water after each use. Do not allow paint to dry in the bristles, and handle the brush gently when cleaning.

Avoid drying the brush on a radiator or in direct sunlight. After washing, allow it to dry naturally.
