High-Quality Watercolor Wash Brushes – Traditionally Hand-Bound

Discover our carefully curated collection of high-quality watercolor wash brushes, specifically designed for smooth color gradients, soft transitions, and controlled washes. Each watercolor wash brush is traditionally hand-bound and precisely set into a durable plastic ferrule (exception: Series 418 from size 12 onward with natural quills), ensuring maximum shape retention, longevity, and comfortable handling while painting.

Our handcrafted quill brushes are ideal for professional artists as well as ambitious beginners. Thanks to their balanced water-holding capacity, they allow for controlled application on watercolor paper and are perfectly suited for glazes, backgrounds, and large color areas. With these hand-bound wash brushes, you choose reliable tools that combine traditional craftsmanship with modern performance standards.

Traditional Craftsmanship – Step by Step

Experience how high-quality wash brushes are created from carefully selected hair or fibers, decades of experience, and precise hand craftsmanship. Every movement and every production step follows proven techniques that have been passed down through generations and continue to form the foundation of consistent quality today.

The processes shown in the two following videos illustrate why hand-bound brushes are unique in terms of shape retention, water control, and durability.

Discover Our Advanced COLINEO Synthetic Fiber Composition

For many years, attempts have been made to replicate the unique properties of Siberian Kolinsky sable hair using synthetic fibers—a significant challenge due to the exceptional structure and increasing scarcity of this precious natural material. With da Vinci COLINEO, a carefully balanced synthetic fiber composition has been achieved that comes remarkably close to the natural model, enabling precise tip formation and clean, controlled stroke edges.
