Invented in China, the bamboo brush was originally intended solely for traditional calligraphy and ink painting styles. Over the years, bamboo brushes have become increasingly popular for general watercolour use as well as traditional ink and calligraphy painting.
Well balanced from end to end, this handsome brush features extra-long brown hairs that are suitable for ink, calligraphy, and watercolour painting styles. Because of their length, you can create fluid and dynamic strokes. The natural bristles offer excellent retention capacity and come to a fine point when wet. You can use the brush to create wet washes, smoothly blended colours, and even dry-brush effects. This brush experiences minimal bristle loss thanks to the secure plastic ferrule, and the bamboo handle makes for a lightweight hold.
A bamboo handle with a mixture of brown goat & horse hair.
