Designed for watercolor and versatile across multiple paint types, it offers professional-grade performance with durable, stylish construction—perfect for artists seeking precision and value. ## Description Winsor & Newton scepter gold II brushes are the perfect mix of Sable and synthetic giving the performance of a Sable at the price of synthetic. Artists generally recognize that pure Sable brushes are the best, but costly, so consideration of price may compel many to use a synthetic brush instead. However, while today's synthetic brushes perform better than ever, pure Sable still has the edge. This is why Winsor & Newton offers scepter gold II, a brush that's made from a blend of pure Sable and synthetic fibers, giving you a performance that is close to Sable at a price that is close to synthetic. The blend of hair in scepter gold II also gives you added benefits. Sable hair has excellent spring while the high quality synthetic filaments ensure that the brushes are soft enough to work the color but also have a strong snap so they return back to their original shape with ease. The high proportion of Sable in scepter gold II gives the brushes considerably more ability to make larger washes in one stroke than normal synthetic brushes and the hairs are tapered to a fine point, giving the brush control for detailed work. Scepter gold II brushes are ideal for working with watercolor and fluid oil color but are also suitable for use with acrylic, water mixable oil and alkyd Fast drying oil color. Each scepter gold II brush has a copper-colored handle and a seamless, gold-colored ferrule.

Seems well made. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ nice *by H***E on April 28, 2025* these are very good brushes. very good balance. applies paint well and evenly. the tip is also nice for more finer points too. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best 0000 micro detailer *by D***E on February 1, 2021* I adore this specific brush!!!! This micro tip (0000) is perfect for essential fine line work when detailing whatever you are painting!! I usually buy W&N series 7 brushes but haven’t found one as small as this brush that holds its load and maintains its tip without flattening out into a broaden line. Epic!!! Arrived with protective tip covers still intact which as you know is necessary, especially with a tip this small!!! Do yourself a favor and buy Masters brush cleaner and preserver and use it each time you finish painting with any brush, especially tiny detail brushes!!! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/14042361-brushes](https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/14042361-brushes) --- *Product available on Desertcart Australia* *Store origin: AU* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
