The Escoda Primera series brushes are made with a maroon-colored synthetic filament that are excellent for use with heavy body paints. The bristles are stiffer and thicker and are recommended for use with acrylics and water mixable oils. Because of their sturdy bristles, these brushes will not absorb water and have fantastic spring. Offered in a long handle for easy easel type painting and short handle for more horizontal work. Available in a variety of sizes and shapes; all are triple crimped to a nickel-plated brass ferrule for long-lasting use. In Barcelona, Spain a small family business focuses on an exceptionally large ambition – to handcraft the ?nest artist brushes in the world. Since 1933, when Josep Escoda Roig founded the company, three generations of Escoda have served the most discerning artists. Always combining the ?nest raw materials with obsessive craftsmanship, Escoda brushes are appreciated for their attention to detail and their lasting performance. The family’s pride can be felt in every brush stroke. All artists can enjoy the satisfaction of creating with Escoda. With brushes for ceramic, faux ?nishing, and even make-up artists, Escoda stretches far beyond its exhaustive selection for watercolor, acrylic, and oil painters. The finest raw materials available are used in each category of brush. A triple crimp, an exclusive trademarked Escoda design, is used for each brush. This ensures that the ferrule remains fixed to the handle for a lifetime of use. Each handle is perfectly balanced to fit each brush head size. The handles are formed to provide an ergonomic fit for the artist. Each brush head is “cured” in a way unique to Escoda that enhances the natural characteristics of the hair or filament. This locks the hairs in place and creates a permanent shape and increases the natural spring and resilience of every brush.

EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY AND DESIGN- The process of designing and creating Escoda brushes in their factory begins and ends with brush artisans and each brush is meticulously crafted by hand since 1933. EXCLUSIVE TRIPLE CRIMP FERRULE - The patented triple crimp ferrule is exclusive to Escoda brushes and helps ensure a fixed ferrule that allows for a lifetime of brush use. BEAUTIFUL BLACK-LACQUERED WOOD HANDLE - Each brush is meticulously designed with a durable wood handle that offers a comfortable grip and is nicely balanced for a satisfying painting experience. SUPERB PERFORMANCE AT AN AFFORDABLE PRICE - The Primera brushes offer artists the same control for blending and shading but at a much more affordable price than natural hair and are excellent for all types of media. 100% SYNTHETIC TEIJIN FIBER ARTIST PAINT BRUSH – Escoda Primera series brushes are made with a maroon-colored Teijin fiber that maintains a level of toughness, yet unusual softness for work with heavy-bodied paints.
