Escoda Ultimo Synthetic Squirrel Brushes are an almost perfect imitation of natural squirrel hair. The extraordinary softness of the Ultimo series allows for a capacity to retain liquids nearly identical to that of natural squirrel hair and is so superior it could become the benchmark to replace natural hair in the future. These brushes are ideal for watercolor, but also work well with inks, gouache, and fluid acrylics. Available in a wide variety of styles and sizes these meticulously designed brushes feature lacquered wood short handles with nickel-plated brass ferrules. 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 n place and creates a permanent shape and increases the natural spring and resilience of every brush.

• EXCLUSIVE TRIPLE CRIMP FERRULE - The patented triple crimp ferrule is exclusive to Escoda brushes and helps ensure a fixed ferrule that allows for a lifetime of brush use
• EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY AND DESIGN- The process of designing and creating Escoda brushes in their factory begins and ends with brush artisans and each brush is meticulously crafted by hand since 1933
