Brush Rebel Kolinsky Layer 3 — natural Kolinsky bristles, size 3

Rebel Kolinsky Layer 3 is a natural Kolinsky-bristle paintbrush engineered for precise layering and fine detail work. Size 3 offers a balanced point and controlled paint release, with a shaped tip that supports accuracy and consistent performance across miniature painting, model detailing, nail art and delicate decorative finishes.

Advantages

The natural Kolinsky bristles provide high elasticity and excellent point retention, allowing fine lines and controlled glazing. The shaped tip maintains its form through repeated use, while the medium-length ferrule and handle balance control and accessibility to small areas. The brush is suitable for thin to medium-bodied paints and offers dependable flow for layered techniques.

Suitable for

• Miniature painting and figure detailing
• Model building and fine weathering work
• Nail art and fine cosmetic detailing
• Delicate decorative finishes and glazing

Key specifications

• Bristle material: natural Kolinsky
• Brush size: 3 (layer brush)
• Tip shape: finely shaped point
• Handle type: lightweight, balanced for precision work
• Suitable media: thin to medium-bodied acrylics, enamels, watercolors, and nail paints

How to use

Wet the brush slightly if working with water-based paints, load a small amount of paint onto the tip, and use controlled strokes for layering and fine lines. Rinse frequently when changing colors or thinning layers to prevent build-up at the ferrule. For best accuracy, approach the work surface with light pressure and use the tip for detail; the belly of the brush can be used for soft glazing and controlled washes.

Usage recommendations

After each session, clean the brush with a suitable solvent or mild soap for water-based media, reshape the tip while damp, and store horizontally or tip-up to preserve the point and bristle alignment.
