"White Cloud" Traditional Straight Bamboo Handled Brush (Large)

The Traditional White Cloud Chinese Brush has a “heart” of dark Sable hairs, which gives the brush a firm springy tip for great outline painting. Surrounding this “heart” is the absorbent and really soft goat hairs, enabling the brush to create continuous, flowing brush strokes. The handle of this brush is made of bamboo in the traditional straight style, where the hairs are held within the bamboo itself.It is perfectly shaped to fit comfortably in the hand for executing fluid brush strokes necessary for Chinese painting and calligraphy.

This White Cloud Brush is marked on the handle as large and is ideally suited for Chinese and Japanese sumi-e Asian Art painting.

Drying the brush by hanging in a vertical position helps to prolong its life, because it ensures that the hairs keep their shape once cleaned and shaped and it allows any excess moisture to run out of the head of the brush. This stops the moisture causing any rot/deterioration in the brush head over time.

Total length of brush: 26.5cm

Length of bristles (tapering to a point): 3.5cm

Width of brush: 1.0cm
