Bring Your Washes to Life with Da Vinci Petit Gris Pur Series 418 Blue Squirrel Quill
The Da Vinci Petit Gris Pur Series 418 Blue Squirrel Quill in size 1 is crafted from premium Russian blue squirrel hair, prized for its softness and remarkable water-holding ability. This absorbency makes the brush especially effective for mop and wash techniques that require a continuous, even flow of color.
Each tuft is generously sized and hand-shaped, forming a natural point that allows the brush to move from broad strokes to fine detail with ease. The large reservoir releases water smoothly across the paper, creating effortless washes and soft gradients.
Made with certified green manufacturing, each brush features a sustainable wood handle wrapped with traditional copper wire in the classic quill style. Handmade in Germany by a family-owned factory established in 1890, this brush reflects generations of craftsmanship and quality.
