Review on πŸ–ŒοΈ Escoda Clasico Series 5131 Long Handle Artist Oil & Acrylic Brush, Round, Size 6 by Angela Rodriguez

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Artist brush

First impression; The brush arrived in a reasonable time. added impression; The handle is very long and feels really high quality. The brush is round and designed for finer details. I will try acrylic soon. Click or stiffness is a bit harsh for me; as I find the new line of Princeton synthetic brushes (blue handle) very comfortable to work with. This brush takes a long time to enjoy "finally" finding a decent brush. EVERYONE . and I mean ALL artists have their favorite brushes and it takes some time and effort to find a line or font that goes perfectly together. Then the artist traded a good family member to keep the brush! Maybe two! UPDATE: The brush is a dream come true; long handle and comfortable barrel. The bristles are a different story. The bristles are pig hair with a very hard body. After the first cleaning (always before each use) a lot of bristles stuck out, almost 45 degrees; I had to cut them off. After a few uses; The brush sits at the back of the rack until I need an overall broad stroke with clean lines. I almost "wish I'd gone to sable or some other finer brush". Well, live and learn. order again. Barcelona, Spain is pretty nice and they make brushes there. Give me Barcelona every day. but they can keep their brushes. Enough said.

Pros
  • HANDMADE IN SPAIN. Each brush is expertly crafted by master craftsmen in Spain
Cons
  • Has been damaged
