The synthetic hair of the Léonard BAMBOU Talaouki watercolor brush is a vegan-friendly alternative to classic squirrel hair, also known as petit gris . It has exceptionally high paint and water absorption properties.

It's mounted directly—without a ferrule—into a bamboo handle. This handle flares out and is slightly flattened, giving this brush a different grip than most other brushes.

No irrigation is required to grow this bamboo, and no pesticides are used. It grows surprisingly fast—up to a meter per day—and produces a lot of oxygen. It also captures significant CO2 . Cultivation benefits the local economy. Harvesting is selective, and there's no clear-cutting. This prevents erosion. It's a sustainable and responsible choice!

TIP! This brush is perfect not only for watercolor and gouache, but also for ink, highly diluted acrylic paint, and casein.
