1435-6 Perla Series, 6, Synthetic White Toray Filament

Half price from usual!!! I watched this for awhile. Finally in my price range. Has nice snap to brissles.. good for botanicals and lovely point that can detail.

I have quite a collection of Princeton Aqua Elite Watercolor Brushes that I purchased within the last 6 months... which I totally love... but I needed a brush that could give me more fine detail control. I found the Escoda Perla #14 Synthetic highly recommended... so I decided to pony up... its around $35 dollars... but, let me tell you... it is a fine tuned work horse ... I included a video to help anyone appreciate this... I am a watercolorist and I have come to appreciate the importance of having the right tools and supplies to harness this beautiful meduim... Escoda as company is highly regarded and respected when it comes to artisan designed brushes... I am very impressed with this investment to my collection...

Having used this brush for a bit, it's reputation is well earned. The #12 perla has a wonderful point that always comes to a fine point. I can use this one brush throughout my painting to produce bold as well as fine brush strokes. The synthetic fibers have great snap that allows crisp transition between line thickness along a continuous stroke. This brush by its nature does not perform like natural hair...it is not suitable for large washes because it doesn't hold as much water and pigment as natural hair. What is does ,is releases pigment and water in a very precise and controlled fashion. The ULTIMO is more suited for washes and glazes...the PERLA for detail work and drawing. Also, the brush feels great in the hand.

Great brush

im loyal to and this brush is everything!! if you want precision and control, Perla is the way to go. like any brush it does stain, and i clean them a little rougher than my other brushes, but they always keep form and ive never lost a bristle. they work great for lifting too!

I love this brush, I like firm brushes that aren’t floppy and this is perfect.

This is one of my favorite brushes!! I always go to it. Holds water well. Picks up water & paint fabulously.

The stipulation: Buying brushes outside of a box set on Amazon is a gamble. Prior to purchase I'd read many reviews of paint brushes (from a variety of companies) that had arrived bent and damaged upon delivery, so I was not shocked when my brush arrived in similar fashion. The brush was packaged in a medium yellow bubble-lined envelope with no protection around it to prevent it from shifting around. There was a small clear plastic tube at the top of the brush meant to protect the bristles, however the plastic bit was partially snapped and the head of the brush was smashed into a 45 degree angle. While I was able to manipulate the bristles nearly back into shape, they still sit slightly angled. Despite the damage, I still really enjoy using this brush. The tip of the brush was preserved, fortunately, so it's still been a useful addition to my collection. I love the control and precision it provides. It comes to a really nice point and holds it's shape, which has been perfect for detail work using watercolor and gouache. The brush also retains a nice amount of paint/moisture, so I don't need to re-dip into the paint quite as often. The bottom line: If you can live with your brush potentially being damaged upon arrival, then I would still recommend purchasing this brush from Amazon. If not, I'd say save your money and stick with a set that has brush caps or comes in its own protective container. While I appreciate that there's an effort being made to cut back on unnecessary packaging/waste for Amazon deliveries, I would implore brush companies like Escoda to better protect their loose brushes in their own boxes -- much like they would for their brush sets -- to preserve the quality of their products.

Buen pincel, buena carga de agua ME DEDICO a la acuarela y estoy satisfecho con el producto

Bad service, bad quality, don't buy again

These are excellent brushes for fine detail. Keep their shape well and plenty of spring whilst holding a fair bit of water so you don’t have to reload constantly.

Comme mes deux autres pinceaux Escoda Perla, ce pinceau est excellent : fin et précis, il retient malgré tout plutôt bien l'eau. J'en suis très contente !

Llego en muy buen estado y me encantó
