da Vinci Eco Forte Basic brushes are designed for the student and beginner artist. Strong, elastic synthetic fibers are great for heavier paint, such as acrylic or tempera, and on textured surfaces, such as canvas, ceramic or textiles. Economically priced, they give better results than standard school brushes and have seamless aluminum ferrules. This is a long-handle Flat Size 10 brush for broad strokes. Made at the da Vinci brush factory in Germany.
