Winsor & Newton Series 7 Finest Sable Brush – Size 1 (5007001)

The gold standard, in its most versatile form. The Winsor & Newton Series 7 Finest Sable Brush – Size 1 (5007001) is one of the most celebrated miniature painting brushes in the world — hand-crafted in England from the finest pure Kolinsky sable, by brush makers with over 10 years of experience.

The tradition began in 1866 when Queen Victoria ordered Winsor & Newton to produce the very finest watercolour brushes in her favourite size, the No.7. Today Series 7 remains the benchmark for professional miniature painters — chosen by Golden Demon champions, display painters, and exacting hobbyists who believe that the quality of the brush is reflected in the quality of the work.

Size 1 is the sweet spot of the range — a superb all-round miniature painting brush. Larger than Size 0, it carries more paint for faster coverage while still delivering the snap, spring, and fine point that makes Series 7 legendary. Ideal for layering, blending, NMM, and all-purpose detail work on 28-32mm miniatures.
