Ideal for watercolor. The
natural characteristics of the hair offer a good
'belly' allowing liquid holding capacity greater
than for example nylon. Points and springs and upon
touching the paper will flow and release water
similar to a fountain pen. So many marks can be
produced from just one good sized pointed brush. In
the trade we refer to it as 'weasel' hair, this
being a small member of the 'Mustelidae' family,
native to Asia, North America and Europe. The Asian
variety being the only one used in brushmaking and
unique in length and fineness. The term 'Sable' is a
misnomer, the hairs from the animal called a sable 'Marteszibellina'
are not used to manufacture artists' brushes! To
produce a good quality brush I only use the best
grade of tail hair skillfully selected and "dressed"
for us in Germany by a family who have kept their
trade through several generations. Like most things
the better the ingredients and raw materials the
finer the end result.
