Madworks ProModel Hybrid Kolinsky Paint Brush

The ProModel Hybrid Kolinsky Paint Brush is developed in collaboration with GrandArts, a respected Taiwanese brush manufacturer known for its high-quality craftsmanship and innovative designs such as their pioneering aluminum-handled brush series.

This brush combines premium Kolinsky hair with durable synthetic fibers, creating a hybrid bristle blend that delivers exceptional tip stability, smooth and consistent paint flow, and precise control.

• Excellent spring and tip recovery
• Comfortable painted wooden handle for long painting sessions

Usage & Care

Before First Use

Our brushes arrive with a water-soluble protective gum.

• Rinse the brush gently in clean water.
• Shape the bristles lightly with your fingers until all gum dissolves.
• Once the bristles move freely, the brush is ready to use.

Important During Use

• Keep paint only on the front 2/3 of the bristles.
• Avoid getting paint into the ferrule (metal part).

Dried paint at the base of the hairs can cause:

• bent or split hairs
• clumping
• loss of tip sharpness
• reduced spring and control

This is the most common cause of natural-hair brush damage.

Cleaning After Use

Rinse thoroughly with clean water.

Put the protective cap back on and dry the brush upright.

For coarse pigments (skin tones, greys, metallics, washes): use conditioning brush soap.

For oil paints: clean with odorless thinner or brush soap, then rinse with water.

Suitable cleaning agents: Linseed oil (recommended), White/Mineral Spirits or Conditioning brush soap

Avoid: Harsh chemical cleaners

Durability
Kolinsky / Hybrid Kolinsky brushes are consumable tools. Over time, the tip will naturally soften and bristle cohesion will decrease, but with proper care, the brush will last several months of daily use.
