Robert Simmons pioneered a revolution in synthetic brushes, creating a unique blend of filaments that perform so remarkably like pure red sable that they earn the name "White Sable." Simmons's White Sable brushes offer superb point and spring at a fraction of the cost of red sable.

The original synthetic artist's brushes for watercolor and acrylic are still guaranteed for life — just as they were when Robert Simmons introduced them in 1972.

White Sable Pack G — This set contains 3 short handle brushes: Rounds 2, 4, 6.

White Sable Pack H — This set contains 4 short handle brushes: Flat 1/4, Script 6, Rounds 3, 8.

White Sable Pack I — This set contains 4 long handle brushes: Filbert 6, Rounds 10, 1, and Bright 4.

White Sable Pack J — This set contains 4 long handle brushes: Filbert 8, Round 4, and Brights 6, 12.

Note — Brush sizes are not standardized. The length and width of a brush of a given shape and size varies considerably by manufacturer. Since fine art brushes are handmade, expect some variation even among brushes from a given manufacturer.

Comments about Robert Simmons White Sable Script Series 750:

I'm a scenic artist routinely doing work for Disney and Universal and I love these brushes. I tried several different brands of scripts and liners recently and these were - hands down - the best. They hold the paint, make gorgeous smooth long curves, stay pointed after hours and hours of use, don't splay at all, and wear exceptionally well. Need I say more....

One of my favorite brushes

Comments about Robert Simmons White Sable Brush Packs:

The oval mop is my favorite brush for applying anything where I don't want brush marks, and/or to make seamless blends. I use fairly thin glazes in many layers in my paintings. The Robert Simmons white sable brushes are among my favorite tools.

Flat and round size 12

Pros

Best Uses

Comments about Robert Simmons White Sable Brush Packs:

I purchased one flat size 12 brush and one round brush, same size. It really surprised me how soft the synthetic fibers are. They can carry a generous amount of watercolour and don't lose the shape even after several strokes. Wish I had bought more!!!
Another thing to point out regarding this purchase is the packing. My package had to travel a great deal of kilometers and it arrived in perfect condition. Everything came very well protected. I definitely recommend Blick Art to world wide customers.

Robert Simmons are my favorite

By H20 Chroma Lover

from Madison, WI

Pros

Cons

Best Uses

Comments about Robert Simmons White Sable Brush Packs:

I purchased a few of these brushes after they were recommended in one of Joyce Roletto Faulknor's watercolor books on painting crystal. Since then, they have become my absolute favorite brand! The flats are excellent for controlling lines, edges and details. I also use them for lifting pigment as they have so much spring and keep their shape. When I need to clean up a line or straighten an edge - they really do the job. The rounds are so juicy and really hold the pigment. These are my go-to brushes - to me they beat sables and sable-blends and are so affordable!
