Mimik Squirrel Watercolor Brushes for Animal Friendly Performance and Precision

Mimik Squirrel Brushes were created to solve a long-standing challenge: finding a high-quality synthetic brush that performs like natural hair—without using any animal-derived materials. In collaboration with a top brush maker, these brushes offer the absorbency of traditional squirrel hair and the snap and control of Kolinsky sable, making them an excellent all-around choice for watercolorists, gouache painters, and even acrylic users. The synthetic filaments hold generous amounts of color for effortless washes while maintaining a sharp edge for fine detail work.

Each brush features a short, blue-grey stained wooden handle that feels balanced and comfortable in the hand, along with a durable matte nickel-plated brass ferrule. These brushes are ideal for artists who want professional-level performance with a commitment to cruelty-free materials.
