Protégé Plus - Synthetic Kolinsky - 6" Short Handle
DESCRIPTION
The Protégé Plus line is made from a sustainable synthetic material designed to retain the positive characteristics of kolinsky sable-hair, a classic brush filament known for its retention and performance properties, without the common annoyances such as shedding and bending. Like our natural rounds, these brushes are adaptable, laying down washes, fills, and lines.
Protégé Plus is the future. Like its predecessor, Trekell’s newest line takes a big step forward, offering demanding artists the most realistic synthetic filament on the market. While these brushes are shaped like classic kolinsky brushes, they are no imitation. Where the Protégé Plus differs is in its peerless ability to absorb and release liquids. But, it’s the performance that really wows. These brushes are on 6" short, black and silver handles. A Protégé Plus is soft and flexible, just like real hair, ably executing intricate lines and delicate layers of washes again and again. And you can rest assured that there will be an again. This filament has demonstrated its durability in extensive stroke tests, avoiding the pitfalls that make natural hairs a hassle. In that way, you could say a Protégé Plus isn’t just an alternative to kolinsky sable-hair, but an improvement.

Great brushes
Love these brushes

Such a fine point.
I’ve only started using my new Protege Plus brushes but I will say that they have a very fine sharp point which is useful in some of my work. The bristle seems to be as close to a true Kolinsky as any of the ‘synthetic Kolinsky’s I’ve tried. These are worth a try!

Making terrible watercolor paintings with ease!
I'm terrible at watercolors but having a ton of fun doing it. The brush is far better than anything I've currently used. Bought after watching a Mind of Watercolor review. If you're making terrible paintings as well I highly recommend!

Watercolor Painter for +7 years
These have blown me away in pretty much every aspect so far- so much so I put them down to leave a review. I've used kolinsky and real fur brushes often before as they're supposed to be "the best". These changed my mind entirely; the point these brushes hold is SHARP, precisise and a dang pleasure to use. They hold a perfect amount of water for detail work and snap perfectly. I'm going to have a hard time putting them down! Thank you Trekell for making these; these brushes have added the excitement I've been missing for a while back to watercolor painting!

Great brush
