Handmade Sumi-e Paint Brush With Dark Brown Horsehair Bristles, on a 11.5 inch TX Bamboo Handle

This brush was made by Elizabeth using TX bamboo and dark brown horsehair bristles. The bristles are soft, with some stiffness, great flex/spring and a nice thick head of hair/bristles (4X5 Inches). 

This brush was made using high quality horsehair, the handle  has been conditioned with beeswax paste and has a leather hanging strap with a rock embellishment.  The handle is soft and the shape fits perfectly in the hand. 

Handmade brushes are considered a work of art. That being said, they are made to make art. This brush will make large and expressive marks.
