"The perfect synthetic alternative to Kolinsky sable, Escoda Versatil Travel Brushes were designed with portability as their main feature. These extremely versatile brushes offer the same exceptional performance as their Escoda Versatil counterparts, but come fitted with brass caps that protect their delicate filaments. When removed, the cap fits on the end, transforming the brush into a full watercolor size. Carefully handcrafted with a custom blend of uniquely patterned synthetic fibers, the Versatil Travel offers exceptional snap, superior absorption, and sharps points, plus enhanced durability. Excellent for use with watercolors, oil colors, or acrylics, they are suitable for fine detailed work and painting large areas or backgrounds." -Blick
