Escoda Aquario Squirrel Hairbrushes are made of top-quality natural hair that comes from the tail of a squirrel which lives in the region of Kazan, in central European Russia. Squirrel hairs are the softest of all-natural fine hairs and because of the hair’s natural characteristics, they are the best in retaining liquid, making them the ideal tool for laying in washes on large area, wetting the paper or absorbing excess liquid. It is the perfect choice for watercolour painting. Escoda Signature Collection Joseph Zbukvic Brush Set contains 3 Perla Brushes.

Covering an infinite variety of subjects, his sensitive, lyrical and atmospheric paintings have captured people and galleries from all around the world. The process of designing and creating Escoda Perla 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.

It also increases the natural spring of the brush and its ability to retain the original form / shape.
