Miniature brush comparison: Why small differences matter
Anyone who spends time painting miniatures quickly realizes that a brush is far more than just a tool. It influences how paint flows, how precisely lines can be painted, and how much control you have over the finest details. That's why even the smallest differences can make a significant impact.
Our different Kolinsky sable brush series were created with exactly this in mind—not as variations of the same product, but as purpose-built tools for different painting styles. Every series has been developed in close collaboration with miniature painters, whose feedback has directly influenced the brush shape, hair length, and overall handling.
Series 11, 70 and 76: Familiar, but yet distinct
The most noticeable differences become apparent in the length of the visible hair.
- Series 70 features longer hair, providing smooth paint flow and excellent paint capacity.
- Series 76 has a slightly shorter profile, resulting in a firmer, more controlled feel.
Series 11 sits perfectly between the two, making it an exceptionally versatile all-round choice.
None of these brushes is objectively better than the others—they simply offer a different painting experience depending on personal preference.
Series 35, 11 and 10: Three approaches, one goal
The main differences between Series 35, Series 11, and Series 10 lie in their shape and handling characteristics.
Series 11 and Series 35 differ primarily in their overall profile, especially in the shape of the tip.
Series 10 has a fuller, rounder belly and a less tapered point than Series 35. This allows it to hold more paint while delivering smooth, controlled brushstrokes and soft colour transitions.
Although each series has its own characteristics, they all share the same objective: giving painters outstanding control while supporting different painting techniques.
Brushes that adapt to your painting style
Miniature painting is highly individual, with every painter developing their own techniques and preferences.
That's exactly what our brush ranges are designed for. Rather than representing different quality levels, each series has been intentionally developed as a specialised tool for a particular style of painting.
Every brush series has evolved through continuous collaboration with the miniature painting community. Practical experience, suggestions, and real-world requirements have shaped every detail.
The result is a collection of brushes that adapts to your painting style—not the other way around.
Because in the end, it's not the size of the brush that matters, but how naturally it feels in your hand.
