Protégé - Synthetic Kolinsky - 6" Short Handle
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. These brushes are on 6" short, black and silver handles. 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.

Protégé Round - 7500 Series
When people think of a fine art brush, they typically picture a round brush. The iconic, rounded shape is versatile, offering a multitude of options, such as washes, fills, and lines of all sizes. The more pointed variety excels at fine lines and intricate details. This brush is on a short handle.

Protégé Wash - 7510 Series
With a sizable head constructed from soft, flat hairs, a wash does what the name implies: laying down big washes of liquid. But, watercolorists know that a wash can also perform the inverse, controlling wet spots by soaking them up. This brush is on a short handle.

Protégé Script/Rigger - 7500L Series
The liner brush is similar to the script brush, just with a smaller and even narrower shape. If a project calls for incredibly tight control, a liner brush is your answer. This brush is on a short handle.

Best liners for the price
Super durable, these liners take a beating and keep delivering crisp sharp lines. For bent tips (oops!) they respond well to a brush (re)shaper and are like new again. Trekell brushes are the best-Love these!!!

brushes
the two rounds are just wonderful. The flat is too stiff for watercolor, but will be fine for acrylic painting..

great brushes
So far loving these brushes. Low cost but high quality.

New synthetic Kalinski-Yes!
I purchased three of these brushes- 8, 12, size 2 rigger. I am so pleased with them. To he point is wonderful and they hold paint well. I saw them evaluated on You Tube " Mind if Watercolor" and decided to give them a try. I am very pleased and the price was right. I would definitely buy more for my watercolor paintings.

Protégé brush
It’s my fav go to brush.

Wonderful brushes!
These brushes paint smooth, keep a sharp edge, the handle is well balanced, the flats are great for scrubbing out color or laying down even washes. They perform like natural hair. I highly recommend them.
