Guillermo S.Guillermo S.: La casa Escoda, una empresa española que radica en Barcelona, ya tienen maestría en la realización de pinceles con cualidades increíbles. Yo lo utiliza para acuarelas pero este es muy versátil y puede usarse en acrílico o goache sin problemas. Un pincel de viaje sumamente necesario para el día a día o para una pintura rápida en una salida casual, de manera recreativa. Es la mejor opción del mercado, en especial la línea Versátil, para mi junto con Perla los mejores de la marca.

JJs Art Journey: I was worried when I ordered such a fragile brush, a #2 rigger, for a couple reasons. I worried that it might get damaged in transit (as has happened to me before with other brushes), or that this rigger wouldn't be what I was looking for, but oh boy... it is better than I expected. The brush came with no issues, the point is excellent, great snap and it is quite thirsty, while keeping its point. This brush also releases the water and paint at a good pace so I could paint easily with the detailed thin lines I needed. Good grip on the brush and steady lines. Truly a joy to paint with.

When testing using only one load of paint on the brush, it was enough for me to work on MANY tree branches and it just kept going and going, giving me thin lines and a bit thicker too, whichever I needed using only one brush. I was loving it!

I have a few riggers of other sizes from other brands, but they didn't give me the thin brush strokes I needed and weren't the quality I was looking for. I recently got the Escoda versatil red travel kit and it quickly became my favorite go to "synthetic" brushes (and I have many different good brands of brushes). So after seeing that they also had...

M. KellyM. Kelly: This is my first rigger brush and I am very pleased with the delicate fine lines, the ease of movement and snap of this brush. However equally important is this seller was extremely thoughtful with the packaging of the brush. The delicate bristles were protected with the typical plastic tube, the brush carefully wrapped and this seller ships the brush in a hard cardboard tube that absolutely prevents damage by the shipping company. I highly recommend purchasing delicate brushes from this seller.

Andrea Acailawen: I use synthetic brushes from several different brush manufacturers in my work. I'm am an artist and illustrator who frequently works with ink, watercolor and goauche. Recently, the Escoda Versatil has my favorite overall brush for watercolor and ink, as it just has this perfect balance between springiness and color carrying capacity. The performance is very close to that of a sable brush, but without the unnecessary animal cruelty and at a much more affordable price for the quality it provides. It's everything I want in a watercolor brush and nothing that I don't. Perfect!

I use the rigger size 0 round I recently purchased on Amazon to paint long thin lines in some of my illustrations. It holds more paint than a short-tipped round of the same size, so I can make longer strokes before running out of paint. I tend to opt for shorter tipped rounds when working on fine details, but when I need longer strokes than they can provide, the rigger is my go-to. This is also an excellent brush choice when doing hand-lettering. That is a skill I am always working to develop and I think this brush makes that job easier for me. That's exactly what a good tool should do, right?

Pebbles The Ginger Cat: Everyone has there own personal choices and recommendations when it comes to brushes - every artist whose written a book will tell you that their own brushes are the best you can buy, and they do all their paintings with nothing else. I have bought, used, and thrown away (or donated in some instances), what seems to be endless amounts of them and I never thought I would say this about any brush, but this one is absolutely awesome !
When people put that it made all the difference to their work I wasn't really sure that they were serious. I'm a sceptical person & when people rave on about stuff, I always assume they are getting paying for the review, but how wrong could I be !
Here are the reasons why ;
This brush is a dream to work with.
The point is absolutely perfect.
It holds loads of paint.
There is NO hair loss.
It retains it's shape.
It's easy to clean.
The hairs seem to glide over the paper.
It's got a lovely spring to it when you push down on the paper.
You can do very fine to very thick lines equally as easily while varying the pressure.
It's now my "go to brush"
I never thought a brush could make so much difference to how you...

white elephantwhite elephant: I've now tried both the size 6 and 8 versatil brushes. I think they carry most of the well known characteristics of synthetic brushes, and do them well. (Holds a nice fine point, has quite a bit of spring, loses water rather quickly) I wasn't blown away or anything, nor do they feel exceptionally "better" (as in being closer to a nature hair brush) than other synthetic brushes.

As always, my only downside with synthetic brushes are they use up the water very quickly, and after 1 stroke or so, the brush is most likely already streaking. With these kind of brushes, I usually would intentionally really load up the water with the brush (and refrain from taking some water off the tip which I do habitually). Only then, can I get some larger washes going in one go.

With the fine point and amount of spring, it's quite easy to control and get finer details.

#8 definitely feels more versatile (no pun intended..) than #6. Since they lose water so quickly anyway, I think #8 is well capable of doing anything a #6 could do, AND on top of that, will be able to carry a bit more water for larger areas if needed. The barrels are the same size for both 6 and 8.

The wooden...
