Description:
This one-of-a-kind skunk bristle brush is handcrafted for expressive, fluid mark-making with water-based media. Designed with a slightly shorter, fuller bristle profile than my standard skunk brushes, it has a soft, fluid bristle.


The brush handle features a burned bamboo finish, hand-wrapped copper wire, and an inset blue stone bead at the end—adding both balance and beauty. The high-quality natural skunk hair bristles are tapered to a fine point, allowing for varied line weights from bold strokes to delicate threads.
Ideal for artists working in sumi-e, ink, watercolor, gouache, and other fluid water-based media.
Key Features:
- Premium skunk bristles: naturally tapered for expressive lines and fluid movement
- Hand-burned bamboo handle: lightweight, strong, and uniquely patterned
- Copper wire wrap & turquoise bead: functional accents that enhance grip and balance
- Leather strap: for easy hanging and care
- Media compatibility: Water-based mediums including sumi ink, watercolor, gouache, and fluid acrylics
- Brush length: ~9" total (see image for scale)
- Bristle length: approx. 2.5" (dense and responsive)
