The 498 Da Vinci Casaneo Pointed Oval wash brush features extra soft synthetic fibres with an extraordinary elasticity and an extremely high colour absorbing capacity. Longer fibres provide more supple and responsive brushstrokes. Bound in a longer lasting plastic quill on a black lacquered handle. This brush is ideal for watercolour, gouache, ink and fluid acrylic painting.

Susan Harrison-Tustain recommends this brush as one of the brushes in her Signature Brush Sets. The preferred size is 12.
