I have used them for years in oil and watercolor. They have never let me down.

This brush keeps it's spring and feels like a brand new brush each time I use it. If I accidentally pick up and paint with one of the inferior brushes I have hanging around for mixing colors, I feel the difference right away. I always start and finish my watercolors with this brush.

Sorry to say I haven't found series 7 to be the great brush I heard of or read about. after first use my number 7 and number 5 brushes lost their points (stopped holding original point.) split ends and stray hair but at least they are a bit more springy than synthetics. or maybe it might just be a bad batch, or lack of enough experience on my part as far as the control goes. The number 3 is doing just fine though.

Comments about Winsor & Newton Series 7 Kolinsky Sable Pointed Round:

I typically paint finely-detailed watercolors such as botanicals or small portraits. These brushes hold a tremendous amount of paint, have just the right amount of spring and keep a needle-sharp point. They are very easy to control and feel good in the hand. I've never had one shed, and they outlast my other brushes twice over. My absolute favorite.

I am a Botanical Artist. My medium is watercolor & I need reliable "back to point" brushes to achieve the fine lines & detail of my botanical subjects. I am not only delighted with the product but also the price. I pay three times as much in Australia for the same brushes

Beautiful brushes, hold the right amount of paint and spring to a perfect point. Thanks to Queen Victoria for her fussyness.

I have only used the brushes one day but find them wonderful, lush and were presented in wonderful boxes.

These are fabulous brushes; they have no equal. But be prepared when you purchase these for something you might not be expecting: on the brush handles, opposite the normal series 7 inscription, is written, "In partnership with BLICK art materials." Or at least 2 of the 3 Series 7 brushes I bought from DB had that inscription. To my mind, the Blick inscription is a bad idea, and subtracts greatly from the simple elegance that is supposed to be Series 7. Moreover, the inscription itself looks cheap. It's not horribly done, but the font doesn't match the Series 7 font on the opposite side, and having "BLICK" capitalized like that is just gaudy. Series 7 is supposed to be tasteful and understated, with its simple lacquered black handle; it's a tool that is, simultaneously, a work of art. The inscription is a very bad idea (I'm not sure if it was DB's or W&N's), and, frankly, it makes me mad. I appreciate the discount on the brushes, but I don't like having to pay in other ways. This is going to irritate me for as long as I own these brushes.
