### What it is
Size 00 is the finest round in da Vinci's MAESTRO Series 10 — Tobolsky Kolinsky red sable, made in Germany, on the short black-polished handle. The head is 0.90 mm across the ferrule with 6.5 mm of visible hair, so it carries a small, controlled load and comes to a point immediately. This is the brush for the last five per cent of a figure: iris and pupil, chipped edges, freehand script, individual hairs.
### Why it is different
- **One hair, one source.** Tobolsky Kolinsky red sable from selected male winter tails only — not a sable blend and not a sable/synthetic mix. The imprint on the handle reads MAESTRO TOBOLSKY-KOLINSKY 10 GERMANY.
- **Published dimensions, not estimates.** da Vinci prints the numbers for every size: this one is 0.90 mm body diameter, 6.5 mm visible hair, 183 mm long, 3.1 g. You know exactly what you are buying before it arrives.
- **Individually tested.** Every brush passes an individual quality check after more than twenty production steps, and the article number is da Vinci's own — you can look the exact brush up on the manufacturer's site.
### How to use it
With only 6.5 mm of hair there is very little reservoir, so thin your paint and reload often rather than pressing to squeeze paint out — pressure is what splays a fine point. Work with the tip alone and let the brush do short strokes; if you find yourself needing a longer continuous line, that is a size 1 job. Rinse before the paint can dry in the heel, wash with brush soap at the end of every session, reshape the point and dry it tip-up or flat.
### Pairs well with
- **da Vinci Cleaning soap for brushes, 100 g** — 3.50 €, in stock. Vegetable-oil soap from the same maker; on a brush this small, the wash is what decides the lifespan of the point.
- **3rd Generation PERFECT CLEANER 250 ml (AK Interactive)** — 7.90 €, in stock. For dried acrylic in the heel, and for tools and airbrushes.
- **da Vinci Brush Series 10 Size 1** — 10.50 €, in stock. The working companion: same point, 9.0 mm of hair, enough load for the areas around the detail.
