Siberian Kazan Black Squirrel Watercolor Brushes
Black Squirrel has been called the perfect watercolor tool. It is softer
than sable, points as well, holds more liquid and is easy to control.
As it releases color it loses some of its snap, so consequetly it
is better to use with a wet technique. Although less expensive than
sable, it is considered by many to be a better brush.
Truly
a magnificent watercolor tool. A flat oval squirrel brush that comes
to a fantastic point. No other hair can perform as well as squirrel
in this shape. The brush can be used as a three sided brush. You
have the broad flat, the long thin side and the fine point. Every
painter will fall in love with this great brush. Available in 4
sizes.
If
you are old enough, you will remember this brush from before World
War II. made of pure Black Kazan Squirrel hair, it has the shape
of a large round brush when wet. Originally these brushes were made
with quills of large sea birds for ferrules. Today we use plastic
with wire to bind them. The brush is a real treat to use.
