Description
The ArtSecret Squirrel Hair Wash Brush is a premium watercolor brush engineered for the demands of professional artists. Made with genuine Chinese squirrel hair, this mop wash brush delivers the exceptional water-holding capacity, softness, and snap that makes squirrel hair uniquely suited to large-scale watercolor work.
Available in sizes 30 to 70, this brush is designed for applying broad, even washes across large areas of cotton paper. The high water retention allows you to complete full skies, large backgrounds, and expansive color areas without reloading mid-stroke – a critical advantage when working wet-on-wet or timing glazing layers.
Despite its size and softness, the ArtSecret squirrel hair brush retains a controlled tip for detailed edge work and precision when needed. This combination of carrying capacity and controllability makes it a favorite among professional watercolorists who demand the best from their equipment. Suitable for all watercolor styles – from delicate washes to bold expressive paintings.

Gorgeous brush. The squirrel hair blend holds SO much water and paint. I use the size 50 for laying down large washes on my A3 paintings. Really smooth application with no streaks. Professional quality at a good price.

Soft and holds a lot of water. Perfect for backgrounds and sky washes.

Very good wash brush. Lost a couple of hairs in the first use but after that it’s been fine. Great for large areas.
