KUM Faded | professional watercolour brushes

KUM Faded – 100% Handcrafted to Perfection in Germany to offer artists a tool that is second to none.

Made with a blend of two different high-tech synthetic fibres!

The softer of the two fibres consists of an ideal blend of different fibre diameters . This guarantees the extremely high water- and colour absorption capacity + an even pay-off of medium.

The stiffer fibres undergo  a special tempering process to provide the necessary stability and as a consequence offer more elasticity and control while working with the brush.

The matt black handle give this brush an elegant, minimalist and timeless design.

KUM Meisterwerk | Long cone in a new dimension

The KUM Meisterwerk offers what artists and real pencil enthusiasts realy need.

Sharpening takes place in two phases:
Phase 1 – only the wood of the pencil is removed. The removal of the shavings is set to a TC system, the so-called Thin Cut.
Phase 2 – the lead is sharpened and formed. The goal is to obtain a long and precise pencil tip.

The result is a conical shaping based on 8 degrees.

Prerequisite for this perfection:
– centred lead
– first-class wood
Second and third quality pens fail here.

The KUM® Meisterwerk is delivered in a plastic case, with an individual neoprene pouch and two replacement blades.

An extraordinary Sharpener
– Handmade in Germany

The KUM® Meisterwerk passes through eight quality checks, during the production process… Nothing is left to chance.

Special blades and quality tests after every single production step combined with superb craftsmanship guarantee the uniqueness of this sharpener.

High Quality

• Made out of the high-tech material magnesium
• Advantages of magnesium: the material is not only lightweight, but also ensures the perfect fit of the blades
• Blades are made of finely ground hard carbon steel – with a hardness of more than 62 hrc, the steel used is much harder than high-quality kitchen knives (approx. 55 hrc)
• Dynamic Torsion Action® prevents the tip of the pen from breaking, as the blades are under permanent tension

Together with Anastasia Sälinger we developed the Floral Classics Brush Set. This set includes three high quality watercolor brushes. The selected assortment of French Aqua Size 6, Memory Point Liner Size 0 and Memory Point Round Size 4 is the perfect combo for painting a wide variety of floral illustrations.

Anastasia prefers to combine fineliners with watercolor to create beautiful vivid flowers flowers with lots of details, thin lines and various effects. In the guide that we included she explains step by step in great detail how she works and what advantages each brush in the set offers. On over 20 pages you will find general information about watercoloring + two tutorials: one for flowers and one for creating a beautiful watercolor background. On top of that you will receive lots of floral inspirations from Anastasia.
