SKYEISTS uses high-quality Italian-imported animal hair to craft its brushes, allowing artists to fully showcase their charm and capability in painting.
Animal hair brushes are known for their softness, excellent water retention, and strong elasticity, making them outstanding for both watercolor and oil painting.
### Watercolor Painting
In watercolor painting, animal hair brushes are prized for their softness and superior water retention, which aids in controlling the flow and spread of watercolor paints. Common types include wolf hair, goat hair, horsehair, squirrel hair, and sable hair. These brushes are ideal for base washes, creating large color areas, and detailed subject rendering, producing delicate strokes and rich color layers.### Oil Painting
In oil painting, animal hair brushes like sable and badger hair are favored for their balanced softness and firmness. They provide smooth and even color application, making them excellent for detail work. These brushes help achieve an even paint spread and minimize visible brushstrokes, perfect for intricate painting tasks.### Types of Animal Hair Brushes and Their Uses
