This is a Series of brushes with the round ferrule and a chisel end. They are the second basic style of brushes. First the pointed end, than the flat end. The two ways brushes were made since the first brushes were made by the artist.
Today, 2012, here isn't a good flat chisel end brush to be bought anywhere. Utrecht makes a synthetic, but it's not in their latest catalog, that's it. The lettering Series with longer hair to pull a straight line are available from the lettering sites, but not the shorter, stocker brush that can change directions and still fill the mark. It can paint square in corners and takes less paint to change colors than longer floppier sizes. This is very sad, artists don't realize that they need these brushes, they are just taking what they are given, 2005. This style of brush is used in every painting I do. These are my finishing brushes and they are 20 years old. I am getting desperate to replace them. I found a chisel brush supplier, Lettering Brushes Series 8B, 1-800-322-5254.
On 7-3-06 Harry Kalish called me saying he had and was sending me my brushes. This brush series is now called Series 8B SHORT CHISEL. I can't wait to test them. 11-22-6, Kalish Kolinski Sable Chisel Brushes. The Series 8B is complete, #1 to #8. They are perfect for watercolor! I tested them all today and am proud and very happy.
