Escoda Signature Collection Brush Set – Amit Kapoor – Set 1 – Ultimo – Round Mop Size 10 & 18 – Round Rigger – Size 2

The Escoda Signature Collection Amit Kapoor Set 1 includes a Size 10 and 18 Round Mop, and a Size 2 Round Rigger Ultimo Brush. The Ultimo synthetic squirrel hair used in the Ultimo Tendo Brush series imitates natural squirrel hair, providing extraordinary softness and liquid retention capacity. This makes it ideal for watercolors, and the short-lacquered wood handle offers precise control. The Ultimo series could eventually become a synthetic hair benchmark that replaces natural hair in the future.

In the past, the inability of synthetic fibers to hold enough water was a major difference between natural and synthetic squirrel brushes, but Escoda has bridged this gap with the Ultimo Fibers, which can hold as much or more water. The Escoda Ultimo Tendo Brushes are crafted by hand in the company’s factory by brush artisans, using a triple crimp design to ensure a fixed ferrule for a lifetime of use. The curing process consolidates and locks each hair in place, creating a permanent brush shape while increasing its natural spring and ability to retain its shape.

Overall, the Escoda Ultimo Tendo Brushes offer a substantial belly and precise point for both large paint loads and fine detailing. They have impressive flexibility and spring, providing artists with excellent control.
