da Vinci | CHUNEO 489 brushes ○ fan— synthetic bristles, size 3
da Vinci CHUNEO brushes — Chungking, but different and better!
For centuries, artists have valued brushes made from Chungking, the very finest hog bristle. However, genuine Chungking is becoming scarcer and more expensive with each passing year. What’s more, an increasing number of people are seeking to reduce their use of animal-derived materials.
That is why da Vinci — one of the finest brush makers since the late 19th century — developed a high-quality alternative: CHUNEO. This synthetic hair comes as close as possible to Chungking — and in some respects even surpasses the original!
This synthetic hair is robust, yet flexible. It is almost indestructible and retains its shape, resilience and character, even with intensive use. What’s more, it is easier to clean than genuine hog bristle.
The brush shape of this 489 series from the CHUNEO range is fan — perfect for natural texture, blending colours, feathering, colour transitions etc.
