ESCODA OPTIMO Marta Kolinsky. Pointed round.1210. High quality hair selected for multiple works in watercolour, ink, gouache, oil and acrylic. It is especially valued in watercolour for its water holding capacity, softness and control in point. It is one of the best natural hairs for use with water-based techniques, highly valued in watercolour, gouache and inks, although it is a versatile brush for other techniques such as acrylics, oils, due to its controlled discharges and highly resilient hair. Optimo by Escoda is a range of natural brushes by Marta at reasonably affordable prices.
Escoda Optimo is a brush made from the finest fine hairs such as Marta Kolinsky and its Tajmyr variety. Escoda stands out for using hairs and fibres from all over the world, such as the Petit Gris from Russia, the Ox Ear from Europe, the Turon from the USA and Canada, the Badger and the bristles from China or the pony from Mongolia, are the best guarantee for a better brush response. At the same time, the decisive incorporation of eight types of artificial fibres with a great variety of colours, diameters, nerve and durability, have been the key to the Escoda brush becoming a recognised, esteemed and wide-ranging tool that can be equally useful to the watercolourist.
