Key Product Features
The Abteilung 502 MARTA KOLINSKY brush size 00 stands out with a range of technical features that ensure comfortable and precise work:

Size 00 (Round): The ultra-fine tip of the size 00 brush is ideally suited for working on the finest details. The round shape of the bristles allows for smooth tonal transitions, the creation of sharp lines, and precise spot painting.
Construction: The bristles are solidly set in a metal ferrule, minimizing the risk of bristle shedding and ensuring stability during use. The ergonomic handle of the brush provides a secure grip and comfortable use, even during long painting sessions.
