Escoda Reserva 1214 Series Artist Watercolor Short Handle Paint Brush, Size 6, Travel Round

This brush was everything I hoped it would be and then some. The brush handle is a lovely wood with delicately engraved patterns below the golden color ferrule. The handle is smooth and light while feeling sturdy.The natural Kolinsky-Tajmyr hairs are super soft and have three different lengths. The brush holds so much more water and pigment than the synthetic Escoda Kolinsky brush, the Versatil.Even though it’s a natural hair brush it still has some firmness and shape retention. It’s less than the synthetic fibers, but it’s a bit firmer than other natural fiber brushes I’ve used.I’m very happy with my Escoda brushes, and this brush in particular. I look forward to adding more to my collection in the future.
