These brushes are particularly characterized by their high color absorption capacity, even, long flow of color and their longer durability compared to conventional marten hair brushes.

Note:
The natural quill does not have a standardized size, so the wooden handle must be carefully inserted and, if necessary, sanded to fit. It may also be helpful to fix the handle to the quill with adhesive strips.
To clean it, a few drops of turpentine oil are placed on the brush and the paint residue is carefully scraped from the brush hair into a container with a wooden spatula. Repeat this process until the brush is clean. Finally, the brush is soaked in rapeseed oil and shaped.
Before using the brush again, the rapeseed oil must be washed out with turpentine oil. Otherwise, the rapeseed oil would reduce the quality of the paint application and have a negative effect on the drying behavior of the paint layer.
