The Da Vinci Cosmotop-Spin is a light brown, extra smooth fibred brush. These fibres are held in place by a seamless silver coloured ferrule with a short red lacquered hexagonal handle.

This unique Da Vinci brush is popular for its water-holding capacity and excellent value in large sizes. It is a blend of 5 different diameters of extra smooth synthetic hair. Da Vinci has built specialized machines that can sort synthetic hair in varying diameters. This sorted hair is then turned over to a master brushmaker who hand shapes the CosmoTop Spin. The thicker hair is placed on the outside and the thinner hair in the middle to ensure high colour-absorption while maintaining a fine point, stable shape, and energetic spring.

Ergonomic lacquered hexagonal handles allow for maximum painting control and seamless, nickel-plated brass ferrules are rust-resistant. The result is a revolutionary, durable, synthetic brush for artists.
