## Overview

The da Vinci Watercolor Series 498 Casaneo Paint Brush features innovative wavy synthetic fibers for superior water and pigment absorption, a hand-shaped round quill tip for precise strokes, and sustainable wood handles crafted in Germany. Favored by the Urban Sketchers movement, this versatile brush excels across multiple mediums including watercolor, gouache, acrylic, silk painting, calligraphy, and ink.

## Description

Developed by da Vinci brushes in Germany, Casaneo is the latest breakthrought in synthetic brush making. In 1983, da Vinci invented the multi diameter synthetic brush with their best selling Cosmotop Spin line of watercolor brushes. Casaneo uses a new "wavy" or "crimped" fiber that yields stunning results. Excellent for watercolor, gouache, acrylic, silk painting, calligraphy, with ink and for sketching, Casaneo is like no other synthetic brush. A favorite brush of the Urban Sketchers movement.

Review: Superb brush! - I’ve searched far and wide for the perfect brush—one that feels like an extension of my hand, holds its tip, has a large water carrying capacity that won’t dump it all at once on the paper, and has a smooth feel on the paper. This is it! It outperforms even my expensive kolinsky sables. I own the #0, #2, and #4 Casaneo quills. Between those three I don’t really need any more brushes and I mainly use the #0 and #2. I never thought a synthetic would outperform a natural hair brush until now. Now I’m not sure what to do with all the rest of my brushes that I never use!
Review: Best of Both Worlds - This may become my favorite (or most "go-to") brush. It holds more water than you'd think, so you have a decent supply of water for washes. Plus, the tip comes to a point for detail work, so I often don't even reach for small watercolor brush. I would buy it again, maybe one that's even a bit smaller than this one. Love it!

## Features

- Features a new "wavy" fiber developed by da Vinci that allows for high colour absorption and a soft feel while still coming to a perfect point or edge

- The Quill round is excellent for watercolor, gouache, acrylic, silk painting, calligraphy and ink and sketching
- Casaneo is the favorite brush of the Urban Sketchers movement.
- Made in Germany, certified green manufacturing with sustainable wood handles from European forests
