Quill Brushes


Quill brushes combine the advantages of an elongated point with a large mid-section for extra color capacity, perfect for large watercolor washes. Made from sable, squirrel, or synthetic fibers, quill watercolor brushes have a head and handle that is hand-tied with brass wires onto a natural wood handle. Sometimes the brush head will incorporate two or three separate “locks” that are either pointed or square-edged. Useful for lettering and poster work, a quill brush also works well on smooth surfaces such as glass.
