Overview
Chinese Calligraphy Brush Made of Wolf Hair Medium Hard Tip 3.3 cm Bamboo Handle 23 cm For Characters 3 to 6 cm For Calligraphy and Ink Painting

The Chinese calligraphy brush from Marie's, made of wolf hair in a medium design, is intended for traditional Chinese calligraphy as well as ink painting. The hair is 3.3 cm long and measures 1.0 cm at its widest point, making it suitable for characters approximately 3 to 6 cm in size. The handle is made from natural bamboo and measures 23 cm, which makes the brush lightweight and comfortable to hold. At the end of the handle is a cord, allowing you to hang the brush after washing and let it dry tip down. This brush is appreciated by both beginners and more experienced calligraphers who wish to expand their set with a specific size.

The wolf hair is reportedly firmer than other types of hair in this range, giving the tip a higher stiffness and more pronounced flexibility. When soaked, it aligns into a clean point and returns to its original shape after a stroke. This allows the brush to maintain a good line, with strokes having a sharp start and finish, which is particularly valued by those who write regular scripts or draw outlines and fine details. The medium size is designed for characters sized 3 to 6 cm. It is a versatile dimension for practising regular and official scripts, as well as for Chinese landscape painting, line painting, and watercolour, where thin lines and fuller strokes alternate.

The hair of the new brush is factory-shaped into a tip. Before first use, gently squeeze it with your fingers and carefully remove any loose shaping, then soak the brush in water for 5 to 10 minutes. After soaking, gently squeeze the hair several times and rotate the brush to align the tip into a point. Dip into the ink approximately two-thirds the length of the hair, ensuring the root remains dry. After use, rinse the brush in lukewarm water, align the hair into a point, and allow it to dry freely.

The Chinese calligraphy brush made of wolf hair in a medium design is a practical tool for anyone engaged in calligraphy or ink painting. The handle length of 23 cm ensures comfortable holding and sufficient distance of the hand from the paper. The brush can handle writing characters as well as painting landscapes, flowers, and birds. It is suitable for independent practice at home, for art courses, and as an addition to an already used set of brushes. Each size in this range has its own recommended character range, so you can easily complement exactly the brush you need.
