Designed for use with watercolour or fluid acrylics, the Casaneo line possesses unique, wavy fibres that designed to mimic Kazan squirrel hair and have amazingly high colour absorbing capacity. The mottler shape is ideal for blocking out large areas of paint and varnishing, and these brushes features extra soft synthetic fibres provide extremely supple and responsive brushstrokes.  The synthetic hairs are mounted on their short black polished handles by means of a rust-proof steel ferrule. Brushes are handmade in Germany at the da Vinci family owned factory since 1890.

Susan Harrison-Tustain recommends this brush as one of the brushes in her Signature Brush Sets. The preferred size is 40.
