Da Vinci Watercolor Brush
Casaneo
Inlaid Liner
Sizes 6, 8
Artist Grade
Made in Germany
The da Vinci Casaneo line is an excellent alternative to natural hair brushes. They look, feel, and handle remarkably similarly to natural brushes, but with a better snap. Da Vinci engendered the Casaneo bristles to have a subtle wave to them to mimic natural hair. I'm generally fine for synthetic brushes to just be synthetics without trying to be something else, but these have really turned my head. Plus, they are just beautiful.
Liner: This brush is specifically designed for creating long, fine lines. Notice the longer bristles surrounded by much shorter bristles: the shorter bristles act as a reservoir allowing these brushes to hold more paint/water than a typical Rigger brush.
Tip: To extend the life of any paintbrush, use a pocket mister to spray down your watercolor pans a few minutes before you dive in and begin using them. This saves your brush bristles from the extra fatigue and wear-and-tear of re-wetting each color.
Brush Care: After use, simply rinse your watercolor brushes in clean water, reshape the point with your fingers and, if possible, lay them horizontally with heads off the edge of your surface to dry completely. Avoid storing wet brushes in any kind of sealed container to prevent mold or degradation of the glue at the base of the bristles.
