Write a reviewI'm going to enjoy this. It filled a gap in my collection, and feels great.
Both the flat and the round Escoda Versatil brushes I find to be fantastic brushes. Top quality. Sits nicely in the hand. Top control over the release of the paint. Takes a little bit of practice to find the bristles optimum if your a pure sable user. But then you get rewarded with the very best of control. The flat brush have a big belly and sharp edge. The round brushes have a superb fine point, tip. The flat 0.75 and 1 inch holds a heavy paint load and releases it very evenly. The round #10 and #12 holds a superb fine point. I can use the round size 10 or 12 for the smallest details and they hold a haevy load of paint released nicely even. I find the round brush is by fare the best alternative to the real sable brush and even better the some brands of true sable I have tried.
Some may find the brush a little too springy (hard, resistance?) compared to sables but you could argue that that makes the brush very useable for both Gouahe and a lot of Acryl work. Versatil will be my primary brush for especially Watercolor and Gouache and for most Acryl. I have not tried the brush with oil paint.
Excellent quality flat wash brush, which I prefer to other brands I have purchased.
