Classic French elegance, boxed and ready to give. The Art Spectrum Genuine Casan Squirrel French Watercolour Brush No.6 & No.8 Gift Box brings together two classic French style watercolour brushes made with Casan squirrel hair, presented in a navy Art Spectrum box.

Squirrel hair is the secret of the great French watercolour brushes. It drinks in colour, then lets it go in a long, smooth, luxurious stroke. Art Spectrum says its French Watercolour Brush has high elasticity, excellent shape retention with an exact tip and a very high liquid holding capacity.

Inside the Box

The No.6 and No.8 are close in size, which is exactly why painters love them as a pair. Keep one for warm colours and one for cool, or one for wet washes and one for drier, crisper work, and you will rarely need to stop and rinse.

A brush that holds this much colour changes the way you paint. Florals bloom in a single stroke, skies stay fresh and unfussy, and you spend more time painting and less time going back to the palette.

Why We Love This Gift Box

• Holds a flood. Art Spectrum lists a very high liquid holding capacity.
• Springs back. High elasticity and excellent shape retention.
• A matched pair. No.6 and No.8 work beautifully together.
• Feels like a treat. Presented in a navy Art Spectrum gift box.

How We Use Squirrel Brushes

Wet the brush fully before you start, then load it from a generous puddle of colour. Hold it a little further up the handle and let it glide. Rinse in cool water and reshape the tip after each session.

Pair them with rich watercolour paints and a quality watercolour paper that can take a flood of water.
