White Goat Hair Sumi-e Paint Brush With Curled White Birch Bark Ferrule

This brush was made with bamboo and my premium white goat hair. The brush ferrule was made using a piece of curled white birch bark. To ensure the ferrule is strong, I coated the bark with a strong, clear epoxy. The super-premium white goat hair is very soft, super absorbent, has great flex, strong spring, and will make a wide variety of marks, from wide/dynamic to very fine.

The bristle is cut with a rounded curve (mop shape) which is good for:

This has an extremely soft white goat hair bristle that is perfect for blending and softening.

• Ideal for creating background color or sky washes

The brush has:

• The ferrule is made with white birch bark bark

Bristlehead:

• The white premium goat hair is 3.25" in length

My brushes are made to create a vast array of marks. When I make a brush I think about all aspects of the tool: how it looks, how it feels in the hand, and how it paints - to ensure that the end product is a true "fine art tool".
