Stiff Sumi Brush - Northern Wolf professional Magic

When I first started doing sumi-e painting, all I could find were cheaply made brushes (even in pro art stores)that were difficult to clean and more importantly, difficult to use. I kept reading online that you don't need to spend a lot of money on brushes and that the cheap ones will work well for beginners. THAT IS NOT TRUE! Spend a little extra money and get good quality brushes. This brush is fantastic! When you create a stroke, the point returns to the tip instantly when you take it off the paper. This is such a great value. You won't be sorry!
