da Vinci Miniature Maestro Series 76

Kolinsky Sable · 3 Round Brushes · Sizes 2, 3 & 4

Selected Kolinsky red sable · Black presentation box · Hand-shaped in Germany

Why painters reach for it

✔️ Selected Kolinsky red sable — exceptional point retention and a true needle tip for the finest detail.

✔️ Elastic, responsive snap that returns to shape cleanly — not wiry, not floppy.

✔️ Generous paint capacity for the size, with a controlled, smooth release that keeps the mark tight.

✔️ Short hexagonal handle for close-in control at the bench.

✔️ Hand-shaped and tested in Nuremberg, presented in a black gift box.

About this set

The da Vinci Miniature Maestro Series 76 set is a premium miniature brush box containing three round Kolinsky sable brushes in sizes 2, 3 and 4. The brushes are short-handled and built for precise control, which makes them a strong choice for miniature painting, small detail work and any job where the tip has to stay sharp.

Kolinsky sable gives this series its main advantage: excellent point retention, good paint capacity for the size, and a smooth, elastic feel on the surface. That puts it above most synthetic hobby brushes for eyes, trim, freehand details and fine highlights. The set is supplied in a black presentation box, which keeps it tidy for storage and makes it an easy gift.

This is a premium natural-hair set, so it rewards careful washing and reshaping after use. If you want a set for hard wear or rough techniques, a synthetic line is the better call; if you want precision and a clean point, Series 76 is the stronger choice.

💡 Care & pro tips

▸ Rinse before paint dries in the ferrule, then finish with lukewarm water and a proper brush soap.

▸ For natural sable, a conditioning cleaner such as The Masters Brush Cleaner & Preserver, or da Vinci's own brush soap, keeps the point in shape.

▸ Store dry, reshaped and protected in the box — never press the point flat.

▸ Don't leave it soaking and don't use hot water.

Honest limitations

▸ Not for heavy drybrushing or aggressive scrubbing — that shortens sable life.

▸ Too small for large basecoats or broad washes.

▸ Natural hair, so not a vegan or synthetic option — see da Vinci Cosmotop-Spin if that's what you need.

▸ The short handle isn't ideal for easel-distance painting.
