Review: Best Quality - I have been a professional watercolorist for the past 30 plus years. DaVinci are my go too brushes. You cannot beat their quality and craftsmanship. I have recommended these to my students for years. They come to a wonderful trip and if you take care of them and clean them they will last for years. Review: Smooth and snappy - These are great, very supple and responsive. I trust DaVinci more than the other assortment of brands you might see listed as Sable brushes... My personal preference is for shorter handles, and my ultimate favorite still remains the DaVinci micro maestro sable tipped brushes, but these are still great quality workhorse brushes if you take proper care and maintenance ## Features - Series 35 has an extra long taper at the tip that is great for fast, loose watercolor painting and is a favorite amongst illustrators, cartoonists and animations - 4 brush set with round sizes 2/0, 0, 1 & 2 - The Maestro designation denotes the highest quality winter male kolinsky red sable hair from the tobol River region in eastern Siberia - Seamless Gold-Plated brass ferrule ensures the brush will last - Brushes are handmade from raw material to finished brush by skilled artisans at the da Vinci Factory; certified green manufacturing in Germany ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08LRLH267 | | Best Sellers Rank | #81,261 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ( See Top 100 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ) #726 in Art Paintbrush Sets | | Brand | da Vinci | | Brand Name | da Vinci | | Bristle Type | Long Tapered Round | | Brush Width | 0.1 Inches | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 85 Reviews | | Handle Type | Dowel Handle | | Item Type Name | Paintbrush | | Manufacturer | AmazonUs/GRHWZ | | Manufacturer Part Number | 5538A2 | | Material | Animal Hair | | Material Type | Animal Hair | | Model Number | 5538A2 | | Paint Type | Watercolor | | Set Name | 4 Brush Set | | Size | Mixed | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** da Vinci - **Brush Width:** 0.1 Inches - **Color:** Black - **Material:** Animal Hair - **Size:** Mixed ## Images ![Brushes Watercolor Set 5538a2 - Maestro Kolinsky Red Sable 4 Brush Set - Long Tapered Rounds - Series 35 Sizes 2/0, 0, 1 & 2, 1 count, Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61DZG0jqr3L.jpg) ![Brushes Watercolor Set 5538a2 - Maestro Kolinsky Red Sable 4 Brush Set - Long Tapered Rounds - Series 35 Sizes 2/0, 0, 1 & 2, 1 count, Black - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31oCMu5s6TL.jpg) ![Brushes Watercolor Set 5538a2 - Maestro Kolinsky Red Sable 4 Brush Set - Long Tapered Rounds - Series 35 Sizes 2/0, 0, 1 & 2, 1 count, Black - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/712M1GahOXL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Quality *by R***S on March 3, 2026* I have been a professional watercolorist for the past 30 plus years.

I trust DaVinci more than the other assortment of brands you might see listed as Sable brushes... My personal preference is for shorter handles, and my ultimate favorite still remains the DaVinci micro maestro sable tipped brushes, but these are still great quality workhorse brushes if you take proper care and maintenance ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really nice quality brushes *by C***A on April 25, 2023* Echoing most of the other reviews for this product, as I've had a similar experience. I'm really happy with the quality of the brushes! They've been nice to work with for tiny details - they hold a decent amount of paint for their size, deposit paint smoothly, hold their point very well, and feel sturdy and well made. I will say I do feel like the smallest 1-2 brushes in the set are so tiny that I don't feel like I'll end up using them, given how well the larger 2 hold their point, I don't think the smaller 1-2 do much that the others in the set can't already do, but that's more of a personal preference based on the work I'm using them for. I agree with other reviewers that the packaging is lacking. Each brush did have a protective tube over the bristles, but the set came in a thin plastic cellophane bag that made it feel like I was unwrapping $5 children's brushes from Target. I'm not looking for anything crazy packaging-wise but something a bit more elevated to match the price point/experience of using the brushes would be nice. ## Frequently Bought Together - da Vinci Brushes Watercolor Set 5538a2 - Maestro Kolinsky Red Sable 4 Brush Set - Long Tapered Rounds - Series 35 Sizes 2/0, 0, 1 & 2, 1 count, Black - General Pencil Company The Masters Brush Cleaner & Preserver 2.5 0z. - Winsor & Newton Series 7 Kolinsky Sable Brush, Round SH #1,Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/286959677-brushes-watercolor-set-5538a2-maestro-kolinsky-red-sable-4-brush](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/286959677-brushes-watercolor-set-5538a2-maestro-kolinsky-red-sable-4-brush) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-06-06*
