da Vinci Leonardo Blue Squirrel Brushes

Modern Watercolour brush with silverpoint tip!

Da Vinci Leonardo Blue Squirrel Watercolor Brushes are made from the sought-after winter coat of the Russian Blue Squirrel's tail. The soft blue-black hair is highly absorbent, and when wet comes to an excellent point. Squirrel hair has little or no spring and is perfect for creating precise linear strokes. The Ethergraf® metal stylus tip is firmly anchored to the end of the handle and is ideal for creating quick underdrawings on watercolor paper or panels. Excellent for watercolors, inks, silk painting, and calligraphy, these watercolor brushes are perfect for travel and painting en plein air. Before leaving the brush workshop, each handmade brush is examined to make sure that the brush-head is flawless, and that the ferrule is firmly attached to the handle. The family-owned Da Vinci brush company has designed quality brushes for three generations in Germany. Utilizing the latest innovations, they produce brushes of unsurpassed quality, elegance, and durability.
