Escoda Brushes
Handmade & Family-Run since 1933
Escoda of Spain began making brushes one at a time
by hand in 1933. Their fine art brushes are still made that way today.
Several features make Escoda one of the highest quality
brushes available. The ferrules are brass, a strong metal best for holding
the brush head in place. Escoda triple crimps the ferrules
making them tighter than most other brushes even in our climate of fluctuating
humidity.
The handles are each properly sized to the brush head,
giving them great balance and a comfortable fit in any hand.
Lastly, the final process of making the brush is curing the
brush head. This curing process gives the hair a memory and
increases the spring and resilience, making a brush that is more responsive
with sharp points and crisp edges.
Escoda offers several synthetics for oil and acrylic. Tekady is an alternative to natural bristle. It is a strong durable brush with
great resilience. Takatsu hairs are fine like sable
making them very good for oil painting. Tadami, synthetic
mongoose, finds itself between the others as a rugged yet soft brush
for either oil or acrylic.
One of our favorite Escoda brushes is their Kolinsky sable
series 1212. The balanced handle and cured hair at a fraction
of some of the better-known sables make it a bargain. Test one out and
compare it to our other Kolinsky brushes, then compare the sale price
with other brushes available.

In an age of huge corporations making a vast-- and often disparate--
range of products, Escoda finds itself in a unique position. They
only make brushes and they do it very well. It is still a family
run operation that donates all brushes that don't pass their
own strict quality controls to different charitable organizations, sending
them to places like Guatemala, Bolivia, Ecuador and Senegal.
Wet Paint is proud to offer a great selection of Escoda brushes
for every media.
