da Vinci Series 488 CosmoTop Synthetic Quill Brush
Our favourite brush for calligraphic mark-making in watercolour, gouache, ink, and fluid acrylics, has to be this Synthetic Quill brush. The series 488 utilizes the daVinci CosmoTop Spin blend of synthetics in 5 diameters, mounted in a clear plastic ferrule replicating goose quills. Brass wire is hand-tied to fasten the hair bundle and the clear varnished wood handle to the ‘quill’. The resulting brush has the look of a traditional quill brush. The synthetic hair has far superior snap and point, but less water-carrying capacity than the blue squirrel hair of the 418 series. This CosmoTop Spin brush is a delight to paint with and is visually stunning in the traditional quill presentation.
Available in Sizes: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 10.
