Raphael Series 8404 Kolinsky Round 2

Vous êtes débutant en peinture ? Prenez le sans hésiter ! C'est une véritable baguette magique , je l'utilise pour la peinture de miniatures et c'est un véritable bonheur.

Una gran decepción, la primera vez que lo uso y la punta se abre haciendo imposible pintar con el.

Der Raphael 8404 ist super fürs Bemalen von Miniaturen und Figuren! Die feine Kolinsky-Borste hält Farbe gut, bleibt spitz und eignet sich perfekt für präzise Details wie Gesichter oder Rüstungen. Der Pinsel liegt angenehm in der Hand, die Verarbeitung ist hochwertig mit stabilem Ferrule. Auch nach mehrmaligem Einsatz bleibt die Form top, wenn man ihn gut pflegt. Für den Preis ein klasse Werkzeug für Modellbau und Tabletop – klare Empfehlung!

A genuinely fantastic brush. I use it for miniature painting and it's lovely, stays in shape and keeps a nice point. Would buy a whole set but they're £20 each.

I've ordered through Amazon three Raphael Kolinsky Sable size 2 round brushes, and only one was acceptable. Two of them did not come to a point. One of them did. The only other good brush I have in this size is a Windsor & Newton Series 7 no. 2 round brush that I purchased in person at an art supply store. If you wet one of these Kollinsky brushes and tap the end of the brush near the ferrule, the tip should come to a point. If it doesn't, the brush won't create a single consistent line. That doesn't mean the brush isn't useful, but it's no longer suitable as a liner. Because it isn't possible to conduct this test sight unseen when ordering online, it's better to order three at a time. A good Raphael Kolinsky Sable size 2 round brush, which I have seen at the Art Students League, has a fat belly and a narrow point. I've seen them used to meticulously ink carefully penciled comic art pages. It's not the least bit surprising that some professional comic art inkers prefer the Raphael Kolinski Sable size 2 round to the Windsor & Newton Series 7 no. 2 round brush. After a certain amount of practice it becomes evident that brushes provide physical feedback that you won't get from a brush pen. Learning to sense the feedback from the brush helps to control the line. The Raphael Kolinsky Sable size 2 round is still my favorite brush for comic book inking, but after learning that I ought to pay close attention to the feedback from the brush, I now find that the Windsor and Newton Series 7 no 2 round is more or less equal.
