Synthetic Watermedia Brushes with Natural Performance

da Vinci Casaneo brushes are the ultimate synthetic solution for water-based painting techniques. Featuring an advanced synthetic “wavy fiber,” these brushes mimic natural squirrel hair while outperforming it in shape retention and water-holding capacity. A top choice among urban sketchers and watercolorists, Casaneo brushes are excellent for use with watercolors, gouache, acrylics, inks, silk painting, and calligraphy. Ideal for travel and plein air work, they offer outstanding control and fluidity across a range of media.

Each brush is handcrafted in Germany by the da Vinci family workshop and fitted with a rust-resistant nickel-plated seamless ferrule. Before leaving the studio, every brush is carefully inspected to ensure flawless craftsmanship and secure construction. The result is a high-performing, animal-friendly brush that delivers elegance, precision, and reliability to artists of all experience levels.
