Escoda Aquario brushes are made from the natural hair that comes from the tail of a squirrel which lives in the region of Kazan, Russia. This hair is the softest of all natural fine hairs and because of the hair’s natural characteristics, it is the best at retaining liquid. It’s the ideal choice for watercolor painting. In Barcelona, Spain a small family business focuses on an exceptionally large ambition – to handcraft the ?nest artist brushes in the world.
