Protégé - Synthetic Kolinsky
DESCRIPTION
Trekell’s Protégé line is an ingeniously engineered synthetic alternative to Kolinsky sable-hair, a classic brush filament known for its retention and performance properties. The Protégé round brush has inherited those traits, boasting the same thirsty belly and insanely sharp point as its ancestor. The big difference is the increased durability. So, while those old, expensive hairs are increasingly harder to come by, a Protégé will always be there for you.

United Statesamazing how sharp a point you can get with this brush. real clean lines. holds a decent a mount of water as well.
United StatesSo far so good! I was happy to discover that this brush is similar to one I have been wanting from a different brand for years. The other brush pretty expensive so to find one that is the same size and a great deal meant a lot to me. I can tell the quality is much higher with Trekell brushes and I look forward to buying more from them in the future! I would recommend this brand to my other artist friends.
United StatesI use them for comic book inking and the #2 is most suitable for fine lifework. However; after a few strokes the hairs splay which is not good for the stroke rhythm—you end up paying too much attention to the hairs and it is distracting. As a replacement for Windsor&newton and/or Raphael watercolor brushes the protege brushes are a low cost addition to my toolset—they would be ideal if the hairs stayed in alignment but for the price I’ll take em!!
United StatesI have enjoyed using this brush. It snaps back nicely and holds water well.
United StatesReally great brushes...snappy and has an excellent point.
United StatesI provided them to my students in a workshop and they loved the brush. It holds paint well and it can be used for a full stroke or a fine point.
