Escoda Perla brushes are White Toray synthetic fibre brushes and are one of the finest quality synthetic fibers available for watercolours. White Toray fiber is one of the softest and is typically used in watercolor. The brushes combine three diameters and three different lengths, achieving a perfect tip. It has a capacity to retain a large amount of paint.

Escoda Ultimo Synthetic Squirrel Hair Brushes are an almost perfect imitation of squirrel hair. Thanks to the artificial hair in this Ultimo Tendo Brush series, extraordinary softness and a capacity to retain liquids is achieved which is virtually the same as that found in the natural squirrel hair brushes. This synthetic squirrel hair brush is ideal for watercolours. The short lacquered wood handle offers control for detailed work. The Ultimo series could become a synthetic hair benchmark to gradually replace natural hair in the future.

The process of designing and creating Escoda Perla & Ultimo brushes in their factory begins and ends with brush artisans. Each brush is meticulously crafted by hand resulting in a brush that will be of service for years to come. A triple crimp (exclusive trademark design for Escoda) is applied to the brush ensuring a fixed ferrule that will remain in place for a lifetime of use. The Perla & Ultimo brushes go through a curing process, original to the Escoda company, which consolidates and locks each hair in place creating a permanent brush shape. It also increases the natural spring of the brush and its ability to retain the original form / shape.
