Trekell Protégé Plus #0 Round Brush – Short Handle

Designed for artists who want the precision, paint capacity, and fluid handling of natural Kolinsky sable without using animal products, Trekell Protégé Plus brushes deliver exceptional control, responsiveness, and versatility across watercolor, gouache, ink, acrylic, oil, enamel, and mixed media.

Like all Trekell premium synthetic brushes, Protégé Plus features a blend of varying filament diameters with carefully tapered tips that more closely mimic the performance of natural brush hair. Combined with our proprietary Thermyx™ filament engineered to replicate natural Kolinsky sable, these brushes provide exceptional paint pickup, smooth paint flow, and responsive handling with the softer feel and subtle movement artists expect from premium natural hair.

The Round shape is engineered with the full belly and fine needle-point tip found in traditional Kolinsky sable brushes. This design allows the brush to hold a generous amount of paint while maintaining exceptional precision, making it easy to transition from delicate details and fine lines to expressive, fluid brushstrokes with a simple change in pressure.

Built to Last

Each brush is made with Trekell's proprietary Thermyx™ filament. During manufacturing, the bristles are heat-set to create built-in shape memory that helps the brush maintain its clean point, shape, and performance over time.

If the bristles begin to lose their shape, dip them in simmering water for a few seconds to help restore them closer to their original form. Reshape the bristles while warm and allow them to dry in place.

For even longer-lasting performance, apply Trekell Brush Restorer while the bristles dry to help them hold their shape between painting sessions.
