Kolibri Brush Series 1789 – The Secret to a Flawless Brushstroke

Experience a new level of artistic precision with the Kolibri Series 1789 – a collection of masterfully crafted brushes designed for artists who demand the very best. Whether you work with oil or acrylic paints, these brushes deliver outstanding performance, elegance, and control. Made from the highest-quality Kolinsky sable hair, the Series 1789 brushes are the perfect companion for both professional painters and dedicated hobbyists.

1) Premium Kolinsky Sable – The Gold Standard in Brushmaking

Kolinsky sable hair is renowned for being one of the finest natural materials in the world of art tools. Its unique properties elevate your painting experience:

• Exceptional elasticity: The hairs spring back to their original shape after each stroke, ensuring precise and consistent performance.

• Superior paint-holding capacity: Kolinsky sable naturally retains a generous amount of paint, allowing longer, smoother strokes without frequent reloading.

• Outstanding durability: Even with intensive use, Kolinsky sable maintains its shape, resilience, and performance for years.

These qualities make the Series 1789 brushes a premium investment that pays off with every flawless brushstroke.

2) Versatile Cat-Tongue Shape for Maximum Control

The flat ferrule combined with a gently rounded tip gives the Series 1789 brushes their signature cat-tongue shape — a favourite among professional painters for its versatility:

• Fine detail work: Use the pointed tip for crisp lines and delicate accents.

• Smooth transitions: The rounded edges allow for effortless blending and soft gradients.

• Broad strokes: The wider belly provides excellent coverage for medium- to large-sized areas.

This makes the Series 1789 a truly universal brush suitable for a wide range of artistic techniques and styles.

3) Elegant Design and Perfect Handling

Beauty meets functionality in every detail:

• Long, black lacquered handle: Comfortable, balanced, and ideal for controlled long-distance strokes typical of oil painting.

• Seamless silver ferrule: Ensures secure hair placement and prevents loose hairs, offering long-term reliability.

• Professional finish: A luxurious addition to any studio or artist’s toolkit.

Made for Both Oil & Acrylic Painting

Whether you prefer slow-drying oils or fast-drying acrylics, Kolibri Series 1789 performs flawlessly:

• For oil paint: Smooth application, precise layering, and exceptional blending control.

• For acrylics: Resistant to quick-drying pigments and easy to clean with proper care.

These brushes adapt beautifully to both modern and traditional painting methods.

Proper Care for Long-Lasting Quality

To maintain the natural elasticity and longevity of Kolinsky sable hair:

1. Rinse the brush with lukewarm water before first use to remove the protective gum coating.

2. Clean immediately after each painting session—especially with acrylics.

3. Use Kolibri Brush Cleaner for stubborn or dried paint.

4. Condition regularly with Kolibri Brush Soap to nourish and protect the hair.

5. Dry horizontally or with the tip facing downward. Avoid direct heat or sunlight.

With proper care, your Kolibri Series 1789 brushes will remain a trusted tool for many years.
