Escoda Perla Toray White Synthetic

Description

Photos

Reviews

Perla Toray White is perhaps the finest quality soft synthetic fiber available for artists. It keeps an excellent edge for a soft, yet controlled application.

Escoda cures each brush to increase the spring and resilience of the hair.

The long, gray-lacquered wood handle is triple crimped to the nickel-plated brass ferrule. The nylon filaments vary in diameter to allow for a more natural point and appearance.

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 Perla Toray White Synthetic Round:

I was recommended to get this brush by my instructor. Given other brushes in the area, I think this is a pretty good deal. I'm just a beginner, but it's really easy to use.

All right

Comments about Escoda Perla Toray White Synthetic Round:

Brush is ok, not perfect but good enough to work with. It's quite stiff. Not a bad one btw.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Merchant response: Thank you for your review! The Toray filament is actually one of the softest synthetic brush fibers available; however, Escoda does use a stiffer sizing to protect the brush in shipping as compared to many manufacturers. Residual sizing in the brush may be the culprit in the stiffness you're seeing, and we would encourage you to wash the brush again — hot tap water will most effectively soften that sizing without damaging the brush. If you still find the brush too stiff, we hope you'll feel welcome to reach out to our Product Information Team. Product Specialists are available weekdays from 8am to 5:30pm CST at 1-800-933-2542 or info@dickblick.com, and they're happy to troubleshoot!

I love these brushes

By George

Comments about Escoda Perla Toray White Synthetic Round:

I have tried a lot of watercolor brushes of the last couple of years but I came back to these Escoda Perlas. They just seem to suit my style. They hold a lot of water and release it well. Can't find a better brush!

Escoda the great

By Vare

Comments about Escoda Perla Toray White Synthetic Round:

Escoda is known for their finest quality brushes and this collection is no different. The bristles are clean, smooth, and strong with a medium snap. It also lasts a long time if taken care of properly (cleaning, etc). Definitely recommend this brand and brush, you can be sure of their superior quality and longevity you can trust.

Escoda Perla brushes are outstanding for watercolor. They hold a great deal of paint and clean easily. It is a pleasure working with these brushes as they respond quickly and retain their shape.

Lovely

By Aly

Comments about Escoda Perla Toray White Synthetic Round:

I am a beginner as such I don't have a lot to compare to, but I really like these brushes (I bought #16, 8 & 4 toray rounds). They hold their points and a lot of water/paint. Have become the only ones I use for watercolor. The only thing I dislike an it's just aesthetics, is the nice white bristles quickly stain and even items such as the masters brush cleaner can't remove the stains from the white. It just drives me a little crazy, but it doesn't effect the brush / painting at all.

One of my new favorites

By Alice

from Columbia sc

Comments about Escoda Perla Toray White Synthetic Round:

I am on a quest to find my favorite synthetic watercolor brushes- so I waited for blick to have a sale and I bought one from several lines that had great reputations and reviews. I bought a size 8 round and have used it for about a week. I am very impressed with this brush. It has a very nice point and is soft but still springs back into shape effortlessly. The handle is lovely and feels nice in my hand. I kind of hate that bristles are white though because they're already tinged pink from my paint. It's not a huge problem I just keep thinking I have pigment left on the brush. I will definitely try more from this range on my next brush order.

Comments about Escoda Perla Toray White Synthetic Round:

I used to use only natural hair brushes, but the Perla line is my go to brush for my watercolor work. I like the largest sizes especially. The take a lot of abuse and hold a good point. I use the rounds.
