The Escoda Teijin Synthetic Brush features thick, stiff, maroon colored fibers that are perfect for working with heavier bodied paints. It keeps an excellent edge and offers fantastic spring. Each brush includes a short, lacquered, black wooden handle and a triple-crimped, nickel-plated brass ferrule. Finally, Escoda “cures” each brush with a secret, exclusive process, building memory into the brush and enhancing the natural characteristics of the fine hairs.
