Escoda Aquario Series 1130 Squirrel Mop Brush

Escoda Aquario Series 1130 Squirrel Mop Brush is a professional-quality watercolour brush made with natural squirrel hair, designed for exceptional colour holding capacity and smooth, controlled washes. Known for its soft, absorbent fibres and classic mop shape, this brush is a go-to choice for watercolour artists who need both generous fluid retention and the ability to achieve a fine, responsive point.
Crafted using premium squirrel hair sourced from the Kazan region, the Aquario Series 1130 is prized for its ability to hold a large volume of water and pigment. The full-bodied ¡®belly¡¯ of the brush acts as a reservoir, making it ideal for laying down broad, even washes without constant reloading. At the same time, the finely tapered tip allows for delicate lines and detail work.
The softness of squirrel hair means the brush glides effortlessly across the paper, producing smooth, flowing marks without harsh edges. This makes it particularly well suited to traditional watercolour techniques such as wet-on-wet, graded washes and expressive, fluid painting styles.
