PRINCETON™ NEPTUNE® Quill Watercolour brushes have synthetic squirrel hair that is vegan-friendly, more durable and more affordable than classic squirrel hair. It is even softer and more flexible than real squirrel hair.
These brushes are ultra-absorbent and offer even colour release. You can work with them for a long time without having to reload your brush. A mix of bristles with different diameters is used, which gives the brush - although not stiff at all - a certain resilience and the brush keeps its shape well. Moreover, the bristles have an extremely fine tip, allowing you to work very precisely.
NEPTUNE® brushes have either rich wood-tone, or seaglass, handles. These Quill brushes - also known as French Wash brushes - are bound in the traditional French way. In the past, brushes were often encased in a ferrule wrapped with wire or string, cut from a hollow (goose) feather. This traditional technique is still popular, especially in France, only nowadays they usually use a transparent plastic ferrule.
