Overview
Chinese Calligraphy Brush with Wool Hair Large Tip 4 cm Bamboo Handle 23 cm For Characters 4 to 8 cm For Calligraphy and Ink Painting

The Chinese calligraphy brush by Marie's with wool hair in a large size is designed for traditional Chinese calligraphy and ink painting. The hair is 4 cm long and measures 1.1 cm at its widest point, making the brush suitable for characters approximately 4 to 8 cm in size. The handle is made of natural bamboo and measures 23 cm, which makes the brush lightweight and comfortable to hold. At the end of the handle is a cord for hanging the brush after washing, allowing it to dry with the tip facing down. The brush is appreciated by both beginners and more experienced calligraphers who wish to expand their set with a specific size.

The wool hair is soft and, according to the manufacturer, holds more ink than other types of hair in this range. Therefore, you do not need to dip the brush as often, and the strokes remain rich and even. The soft tip aligns into a clean point when wet and responds well to changes in pressure, which is especially appreciated by those who want to transition from a thin line to a wider stroke in one movement. The large size is intended for characters sized 4 to 8 cm. It is suitable for more prominent inscriptions, couplets, and larger format calligraphic sheets, as well as for fuller strokes in Chinese landscape painting and watercolour.

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 of the length of the hair, ensuring that the root of the hair 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 with wool hair in a large size 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 is capable of writing characters and 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, making it easy to supplement exactly the brush you need.
