The versatile synthetic from Yorkshire — firm, resilient, and vegan

The Shiraz is Rosemary & Co's primary synthetic range — a blend of nylon filaments that gives the strength of bristle combined with a delicate feel through the brush stroke. Where the Kolinsky sable Series 33 is the natural hair option for botanical and wash work, the Shiraz is the synthetic option for practitioners who want a durable, versatile brush that handles any medium. The firmer character of the Shiraz — more spring and snap than natural sable — makes it particularly well-suited to acrylics and oils where a brush needs to push through paint rather than simply carry it. It also works well with watercolour and ink, where the extra snap provides confident control over the stroke. The Pointed Round shape gives a fine tip for detail and a full belly for loading colour.

Honest Note:

Firmer in character than natural sable — practitioners accustomed to natural sable will notice the difference. This is not a deficiency; it is the character of a nylon filament brush. For practitioners who prefer natural sable behaviour, the Rosemary & Co Series 33 is the correct choice. For versatility across media and vegan preference, the Shiraz is excellent.

Who is it For?

  • Practitioners who prefer synthetic brushes for ethical or practical reasons and want a versatile, durable option
  • Illustrators who use multiple media — the Shiraz handles oils, acrylics, watercolour, and inks equally well
  • Anyone who has found that natural sable brushes wear too quickly for their use pattern and wants a more durable alternative
  • A vegan-friendly companion to the Rosemary & Co Series 33 Kolinsky for practitioners who want both natural and synthetic options

Frequently asked questions

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUSTIONS (FAQ)

Can I achieve line variation like a G-pen nib with this brush?

Absolutely. Because of its excellent "spring," you can apply pressure to create thick swells and release pressure for hair-thin tapers, offering a more organic feel than a metal nib.

How does this brush handle waterproof India Ink?

The Shiraz synthetic fibers are more durable than natural sable when used with waterproof inks, which can be harsh. However, it is vital to wash the brush immediately after use to prevent ink from drying and clogging the ferrule.

Can I achieve line variation like a G-pen nib with this brush?

Absolutely. Because of its excellent "spring," you can apply pressure to create thick swells and release pressure for hair-thin tapers, offering a more organic feel than a metal nib.

Is the Shiraz suitable for botanical illustration?

Yes, with the caveat that its firmer character is different from natural sable. For practitioners who have developed their technique with natural sable, the Shiraz will feel notably firmer and may require adjustment. For practitioners whose technique developed with synthetic brushes, the Shiraz will feel very natural. The point is good enough for fine detail work in botanical illustration.
