Flow with Confidence using Da Vinci Petit Gris Pur Series 418 Blue Squirrel Quill
The Da Vinci Petit Gris Pur Series 418 Blue Squirrel Quill in size 0 is crafted with premium Russian blue squirrel hair, valued for its incredible softness and unmatched ability to hold water. This makes the brush ideal for mop and wash techniques where smooth, fluid application is essential.
Generously sized and hand-shaped, the tuft forms a precise, responsive point that allows for both sweeping strokes and controlled detail. The large natural reservoir releases water evenly, making broad washes and seamless gradients effortless.
Each brush is produced through certified green manufacturing and features a sustainable wood handle wrapped with copper wire in the traditional quill style. Handmade in Germany by a family-owned brush maker established in 1890, this brush reflects a long heritage of craftsmanship.
