CASANEO is a new "wavy" fiber synthetic developed by da Vinci for water media artists. Manufactured from extra smooth, slightly wavy synthetic fibers, CASANEO replicates the feel of natural squirrel hair but comes to a better point. This special construction allows the fibers to absorb a huge amount of water & color delivering an endless brush stroke. Ideal for watercolor, gouache, fluid acrylics & ink painting. This series features a watercolor brush with extra long hair, traditionally bound, extra long perfectly shaped tip. Due to the traditional wire binding, this model is more elastic in comparison to standard riggers and also best suited for calligraphy techniques. Made in Germany. 100% Vegan. Handles are from sustainable forests in the Baltic states. Eco friendly manufacturing. Recommended age 2+ years
