Escoda Ultimo Synthetic Squirrel Hair Brushes are an almost perfect imitation of squirrel hair. Thanks to the artificial hair in this Ultimo Tendo Brush series, extraordinary softness and a capacity to retain liquids is achieved which is virtually the same as that found in the natural squirrel hair brushes. This synthetic squirrel hair brush is ideal for watercolours. The short lacquered wood handle offers control for detailed work. The Ultimo series could become a synthetic hair benchmark to gradually replace natural hair in the future.The process of designing and creating Escoda Ultimo Tendo brushes in their factory begins and ends with brush artisans. Each brush is meticulously crafted by hand resulting in a brush that will be of service for years to come. A triple crimp (exclusive trademark design for Escoda) is applied to the brush ensuring a fixed ferrule that will remain in place for a lifetime of use. The Ultimo brushes go through a curing process, original to the Escoda company, which consolidates and locks each hair in place creating a permanent brush shape. It also increases the natural spring of the brush and its ability to retain the original form / shape.Escoda Ultimo Tendo Brushes have a substantial belly and a precise point, allowing you to pick up a large quantity of paint at a time as well as painting fine lines and detailing with it. These brushes have amazing flexibility and spring, giving an artist great control.The oval wash, also known as Flat Filbert or Cat’s Tongue has rounded hairs, flat ferrule and produces a soft edge. Wash brush is useful for large broad sweeping strokes. Laying in large areas of water or color, for wetting the surface, and for absorbing excess media. Washes, base coating, applying glazes and finishes. Broad flat body for filling in, coming together in the centre to a point.  Excellent for foliage, petals and leaves.
