Tintoretto Watercolor Travel Brush, Synthetic Squirrel

Handmade in Italy. Tintoretto travel brushes are built with metal handles that double as caps, so the brush is kept in perfect shape when not in use.

The brush tips are shaped by skilled brushmakers in Tuscany, drawing on decades of experience and the rich tradition of Italian brush manufacturing. You'll find that Tintoretto brushes offer greater control and more predictable performance than mass-produced brushes. This is due to the thoughtful and precise execution of the brush's shape, which can't be duplicated by less labor-intensive techniques.

Synthetic squirrel is a vegan replacement for animal-hair brush tips. Traditionally, squirrel hair has been used for bold washes, highly saturated marks, and loose sketching. This luxurious synthetic from Tintoretto is soft and absorbent, with a generous "belly" to hold lots of color, and a fine tip with excellent shape memory. Synthetic squirrel is easier to clean and maintain than animal hair, and, of course, it's also cruelty-free.

Available in #2 Round, #4 Round, #6 Round, and #8 Round. Sold individually.

Also available in a four-brush set with cherry wood case.
