"Escoda handcrafts premium-quality bristle to create a superior quality brush that stands up beautifully to heavy paint. Escoda's patented curing process accentuates the memory of the bristles. The Clasico Chungking White Bristle retains its original shape and handles wonderfully. The long, natural gloss-varnished handle offers plenty of control. It's attached to the nickel ferrule using Escoda's exclusive triple crimping process. Select sizes with Extra Long, matte-varnished handles, measure almost 60 cm, nearly two feet long. These premium bristle brushes are especially prized by painters who work on very large canvases. The price of these unusually long-handle brushes reflects the special handling and packaging they require at every stage in their manufacture and distribution." - Blick "Made of hog bristle, this brush is traditionally used in oil painting. Our bristle is extracted from the white Chinese bristle from Chungking and is of the highest quality. Its natural hardness responds perfectly to more or less dense oil painting technique and acrylic." -Escoda
