Why I recommend this brush:
Peacock feathers offer a unique quality not found in traditional bristle or hair brushes—their light, flexible structure produces delicate lines and soft, shimmering textures that feel almost weightless on the page. This brush is perfect for artists who enjoy subtle, detailed mark-making or want to add elegant, organic gestures to their work.
Care instructions:
- Rinse gently after use
- Do not soak the feathers in water
- Shape lightly with your fingers while damp if needed
- Lay flat or stand upright to dry
