We do not remember days, we remember moments.

Purposeful Variety

7 different brush shapes. The round brush, the all-rounder! The flat brush for brick walls, windows and anything angular. Use the angled brush to paint leaves, plants, blossoms and more beautiful botanical motifs. Paint long, even lines with a rigger, or reach for one of our liners when it needs to be really fine. The French wash brush in size 8 is a true powerhouse. Use it for backgrounds or when you want to work larger areas. Fancy a combination of rigger, wash brush and round brush? Then take a look at the French rigger in size 4 or 6. A true all-rounder.

Handmade in Germany

Making a brush takes the utmost care and an exceptional degree of craftsmanship. A brush like the Faded is truly a masterpiece!

The different, hand-blended synthetic fibres give the brush its exceptional character.

Being able to develop such an outstanding watercolour brush is thanks to our experience and our close collaboration with artists.

KUM Faded | What Makes It the Perfect Watercolour Brush?

Many of the synthetic brushes available on the market are designed to resemble natural hair. Popular natural models for synthetic versions include Kolinsky hair or squirrel hair, for example.

When developing our Faded brush, however, our focus was not on imitating natural hair as closely as possible. Instead, we based our development on what artists actually need.

The Faded offers a perfect balance between firmness and spring. We define its firmness as medium-soft, right in the middle between conventional watercolour brushes, which are either very soft or, like Kolinsky hair and its imitations, somewhat firmer.

The fibres of the Faded brush offer:

• a perfectly shaped point,
• precise brush control,
• a very high colour absorption capacity,
• excellent suitability for a wide range of watercolour techniques,
• and a balanced firmness – not too hard, not too soft.
