The new COLINEO synthetic line with long handles
“It's all about control being able to place and push paint - and these tools behave just how you want it to.” - Evan Woodruffe
After years of research, the da Vinci COLINEO (new Kolinsky) Line was released two years ago with short handles, and artists were very impressed with its performance – demonstrating a perfect tension in the body of the brush and a very high degree of control from the tip. The point is exceptionally fine, the body wears very well, and the attractive handles are a dream to hold.
With this success story in mind, da Vinci has wasted no time in now presenting this exceptional fibre composition with long handles for oilpainting and fluid acrylic colours.
When you need a tool that gives you total control of placing and pushing paint, Colineo behaves just how you want it to.
The incredible blended fibre technology used in COLINEO is shown through the complex mix of synthetic hairs with different shapes, varied widths, all coming together to mimic the natural characteristics of sable.
The long handle version is available in the following shapes:
421 fan brush, size 3
1221 rigger, medium length, sharp needle point sizes 0, 4, 8, 12
