Overview
Large Chinese Calligraphy Brush Made of Wolf Hair Flexible Tip 4 cm Bamboo Handle 23 cm For Characters 4 to 8 cm For Calligraphy and Ink Painting

The large Marie's wolf hair Chinese calligraphy brush is designed for traditional Chinese calligraphy as well as ink painting. The hair is 4 cm long and measures 1.1 cm at its widest point, making the brush suitable for prominent characters approximately 4 to 8 cm in size. The handle is made of natural bamboo and measures 23 cm, making the brush lightweight and comfortable to hold even during extended writing sessions. At the end of the handle, there is a string for hanging the brush after washing, allowing it to dry tip down. The brush is appreciated by both beginners and more experienced calligraphers who wish to complement their set with a larger size.

According to the manufacturer, wolf hair is stiffer than other types of hair in this range, giving the tip higher stiffness and greater flexibility. When soaked, it aligns into a clean tip and returns to its original shape after a stroke. The longer hair of the large brush allows for wide and full strokes, while the stiffness of the hair helps maintain a sharp beginning and end of the line. The large size is intended for characters sized 4 to 8 cm. It is suitable for practicing regular and official scripts in a larger format, for italic writing with long flowing strokes, and for Chinese landscape painting, line painting, and watercolour, where bold lines and fuller areas alternate.

The hair of the new brush is factory-shaped into a tip. Before the first use, gently squeeze it with your fingers and carefully remove any loosened 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. Dip into the ink approximately two-thirds of the length of the hair, ensuring the root remains dry. After use, rinse the brush in lukewarm water, align the hair into a tip, and let it dry freely hanging by the string.

The large wolf hair Chinese calligraphy brush is a practical tool for anyone writing larger characters or painting with ink. The handle length of 23 cm ensures comfortable holding and adequate distance of the hand from the paper. The brush can manage writing characters as well as painting landscapes, flowers, and birds. It is suitable for independent practice at home, for art courses, and as a complement to smaller brushes from the same range. Each size in this range has its own recommended character size, making it easy to find exactly the brush you need.
