Escoda Perla is one of my favorite synthetic brushes, I always recommend it. I don't care about staining though, when I paint I on't mind colors mixing a little. Great review! :)

I have one Escoda Perla brush, in a 2/0 round. I use it for a very specific purpose, which is lifting highlights on miniature paintings or high-detail objects, and for that, it’s utterly fantastic - positively top notch, I’ve never found anything better! It’s soft enough to follow my shapes and not be too harsh on my paper, but it is stiff enough to loosen the pigment even at the teeny tiny size.

Wow those two brushes do seem really similar. I tried the escoda versatil travel, but I think I would have been better to try the wood handle one, as I didn't like the way they glue them into the ferrule. My escoda versatil travel version was loose feeling, not shedding, but wobbly in the barrel. Since then I started using Princeton's Neptune or Heritage brushes instead and have been pretty happy with how much water they hold so you can do big washes at once. Thank you for sharing your experience with these!

You can press down the body to make the opening smaller. That will give you a tight fit when you put the grip section into it.

Synthetics have come such a long way in 30 years, the variety is amazing. I feel they are quite excellent within the sphere of synthetic performance. Why compare a synthetic with a Sable? Two different animals (pardon the pun). Da Vinci, Escoda, BB, Raphael etc etc have taken on the challenge and excelled.

I think that it's no surprise that I started to get commissions once I began using my Escoda Perla brushes. Their ability to hold water, as well as keep their shape, is second to none. Personally, because of the links with the fur trade, I'd never use sable. But, it's your money, so the choice is yours.

Great informative video. Although sable is best for large, flat areas, I prefer synthetic brushes for using with water soluble color pencils. Because the bristles are stiffer, they tend to move the pigment better. Of course, you need to use decent quality pencils. If the pencils are the cheapie kind, nothing will move the pigments!

Hi! Have you tried reviewing Chinese brushes? And I also wanna ask if the techniques used in Chinese painting can be achieved with more commonly used artist brushes like Escoda, Silver, etc. The hair seems to be different. I have seen many videos on youtube and the floral paintings using the Chinese brushes are really beautiful for me. The artists can like "bend" / push the bristles from the side and make textured effects, and easy to create branches and twigs. They don't have that spring to it and don't maintain the shape but looks like they have their own purpose for being that way? Unfortunately I think the Chinese brushes are less durable cos sometimes hair fall off (or maybe just the cheap ones?) And are there recommended Chinese brushes? Hmmm
