Looking for something a little out of the ordinary? The Modernista Tadami brush from Escoda is one of the finest crafted brushes we've seen. The synthetic filament is designed to simulate the feel of mongoose hair, a favorite of painters for centuries.

The brush head is stiffer than most synthetics, but it holds a remarkable point and isn't as stiff as a bristle brush. It's perfect for oil and acrylic in most any consistency.

Escoda's curing process creates a brush head that consistently snaps back to its original shape. The gray-black lacquered wood handle is triple crimped to the nickel-plated brass ferrule.

Brush sizes — The length and width of a brush of a given shape and size may vary by manufacturer as brush sizes are not standardized. Since fine art brushes are handmade, expect some variation even among brushes from within a single brush line.

Long and Short Handles — Long handles are recommended for easel style painting, while short handles are recommended for table-top painting where the artwork lies flat, especially with water media.

Comments about Escoda Modernista Tadami Synthetic Mongoose Round Long Handle Series 4075:

I am a professional artist but Blick has something for everyone no matter what level you are at. Ive purchased from Blick before but never used their online website... they provide images that are identical to the product i recieved which is always something people are nervous about when they shop online. I ordred with standard shipping 2 times so far and they both arrived days earlier then my expected delivery date! I could be any happier with the service and products provided and will continue to place every order i have to complete my work here. #sweepstakes #sweepstake

Comments about Escoda Modernista Tadami Synthetic Mongoose Long Handle:

I use these for fine detail work. The bristles have the perfect amount of spring for my application, and they keep their form very well even after significant use.

Comments about Escoda Modernista Tadami Synthetic Mongoose Filbert Long Handle Series 4060:

Best synthetic brush I have used for acrylic paints. Just the best. Smooth, well made. Escoda makes the best synthetic brushes. I have a 12 Versatil round, 30 Primera bright and 24 filbert, and 16, 10, 6 Modernista filberts. These are the best synthetic brushes I own. I have some Winsor and Newton and da Vinci as well, but the Escoda brushes put these other brushes to shame. They hold up the longest, and do what I want them to do on paper, board, and canvas.

Great Replacement

Comments about Escoda Modernista Tadami Synthetic Mongoose Long Handle:

While I'm not well versed in all-things-brushes, I've been very happy using this brush for gouache paintings. I like the control the stiffness provides, and the point always returns. I bought these to replace brushes that were damaged – and actually much prefer them!

The perfect brush!

By Natey

Comments about Escoda Modernista Tadami Synthetic Mongoose Long Handle:

These brushes have been a game changer for me. They are made incredibly well and from top quality materials. You will recognize their superiority to other brushes immediately. Even after months of use they hold their shape. Escoda brushes in general are a joy to use. After experiencing problems with other brands, I am slowly making the switch to all Escoda brushes in my arsenal.
