CC5 – Bamboo Calligraphy Brush 3/8″ x 2”

These popular fine brushes are made with coarse, stiff natural and synthetic hairs, which give a crisp touch. The stiff core is well suited to calligraphy, sketching, or when you want a bit of “spring” to the brush. Each brush has a loop for hanging.

Unlike watercolour, oil, and most other paintbrushes, sumi brushes are composed of two separate parts. The central core, which determines the height and primary function of the brush, is made of relatively stiff hairs gathered to form a tapered point.

The outer wrapping consists of softer hairs selected for their greater water-holding capacity and for facilitating smooth strokes.

The hairs of the inner core and the outer wrapping are the same length and come to a point when dipped into the water. The hair structure ensures smooth maneuverability and dynamic strokes, whether light or heavy pressure is applied.
