Question on Kolinsky Brushes

[left nexus]

I've bought several Kolinsky brushes over the past months of painting and some of them seem to be unusable out of the box, even some higher quality brands such as Da Vinci and Raphael. The tips are
too sharp and thin if that makes any sense, paint dries up the instant I touch the brush to my miniatures. Is there any way to remedy that? Does it get better with further use?

This is the first complaint I’m ever hearing of a too sharp brush.

If the paint is drying in the brush it’s either underloaded or the paint isn’t thinned enough.

Make sure you have enough paint in your brush and that it’s thinned to a good flow.

Or it's a too small brush.

The brushes that have this issue are mostly thin and long and it's literally just one or two hairs at the very tip and you can't properly load them because their is no belly to speak of, they're usually size 0 to 00, I think one of them is a da vinci series 35 size 0 and the other one a harbin kolinsky size 1, also da vinci

DV35 #0 is probably my most used brush so I can safely say there’s nothing wrong with that brush.

Now if your issue was splaying or similar then I’d say it was a bad production, but the brush definitely isn’t too sharp.

Are you dipping only the very tip into paint? You want the whole belly of the brush loaded.
