Escoda Primera Series 1960 Artist Watercolor and Acrylic Paint Brush, Synthetic Maroon Teijin Filament, Filbert, Size 18

The Escoda Primera series brushes are made with a maroon-colored synthetic filament that are excellent for use with heavy body paints. The bristles are stiffer and thicker and are recommended for use with acrylics and water mixable oils. Because of their sturdy bristles, these brushes will not absorb water and have fantastic spring. Offered in a long handle for easy easel type painting and short handle for more horizontal work. Available in a variety of sizes and shapes; all are triple crimped to a nickel-plated brass ferrule for long-lasting use. In Barcelona, Spain a small family business focuses on an exceptionally large ambition – to handcraft the finest artist brushes in the world. Since 1933, when Josep Escoda Roig founded the company, three generations of Escoda have served the most discerning artists. Always combining the finest raw materials with obsessive craftsmanship, Escoda brushes are appreciated for their attention to detail and their lasting performance. The family’s pride can be felt in every brush stroke. All artists can enjoy the satisfaction of creating with Escoda. With brushes for ceramic, faux finishing, and even make-up artists, Escoda stretches far beyond its exhaustive selection for watercolor, acrylic, and oil painters. The finest raw materials available are used in each category of brush. A triple crimp, an exclusive trademarked Escoda design, is used for each brush. This ensures that the ferrule remains fixed to the handle for a lifetime of use. Each handle is perfectly balanced to fit each brush head size. The handles are formed to provide an ergonomic fit for the artist. Each brush head is “cured” in a way unique to Escoda that enhances the natural characteristics of the hair or filament. This locks the hairs in place and creates a permanent shape and increases the natural spring and resilience of every brush.
