OH I learned something new! I didn't know they were different. I just thought, huh this is tied differently. I was watching a documentary on medieval castle making, where they also made some brushes the old fashioned way, the quills they used were from large goose feathers as the ferrule.

As usual, great, detailed information. Thank you.

It was really nice to watch this calming review after I ended work! A stress reliever and as always, a very detailed review!!

Thank you Teoh for your attention to detail in these review videos. I always find the information very useful, and I appreciate your effort.

Thank you for your videos and recommendations. Your videos and blog are inspirational. Have a great day.

Teoh you never cease to amaze me. Many of my choices for purchases have been based on your GREAT demo's and advice!!! (I don't watch the tech stuff, just the real hands on painting stuff and LOVE that!! ) yay!

I was just shopping around for water brushes and you answered some questions I had, so Thanks again for an informative and unbiased video. Very happy subscriber here.

I only began learning watercolour this year, and I always wondered what the difference between a quill and a mop is. Thanks for enlightening me *adds quill to shopping list*

I would slightly disagree on the "point doesn't matter that much". Really depends on what, where, and how you're painting. Joseph Zbukvic used those Escoda Aquarios in some of his DVDs and mentioned that points are important for cutting around some shapes. I guess, it's much easier to paint a large area with the ability to carefully cut the smaller edges without changing the brush. Probably matters more for plein air than studio, but I also find it beneficial to change brushes less and be able to achieve precision even with a large wash brush. Escoda Travel Ultimo is much more pointy than the regular one for some reason.

Very informative vlog, thank you for discussing detailed information and comparison demo

I always learn so much with you! 🥰

Thanks for the comparisons.

Thx so much, such a clear video, usually i have to watch a couple of videos to get all the information, but you are so thorough in sharing all the details, thx so much!!

excellent review. thank you.

I'm a big fan of the DaVinci Casaneo (serie 498) quill. I have number 0 and is my most loved and most used brush by far. I also have a couple DaVinci Petit Gris (series 418) Raphael's (series 803) and a Rosemary collapsible quill. But I tend to reach for the Casaneo most of the time. I love quill brushes. They hold tons of water and paint. Also great for soaking excess water from the paper. Thanks for your videos Teoh, always useful!!

Wow thanks your review helped alot!

Really helpful ! Thank you

Thank you :) that was very helpful.

Thank you so much!!! Your video is very informative

Thanks for your video. Very informative.

very helpful, thank you

The paper looks like it reacts weirdly, like it's slightly water resistant!

Thanks for this explanation. I’m enjoying the Casaneo in size 0. It’s soft and flows across the paper yet because of its size it works for me as a traditional round. Gives a very pleasing painting experience.

I have an Isabey collapsible travel brush. I think it’s the smallest type of quill... so good for small size paper, or finer work. Rosemary is a great brush company also...

Thank you for a very informative video 😄

Good stuff as usual, Teoh. For me, both quill and mop are big-bellied round brushes, but a quill comes to a fine point at the tip. Both can swab on the washes but only a quill can scribe a thin line. And a quill should have a wired ferrule.

The casaneo looks great!

I do like a brush that holds a lot water whether mop or regular brush and it must hold its point well these seem like good choices

I have been using the Casaneos for about 2 years and really like them. I can often find myself using just the one brush on a painting. I think I use the two smallest sizes, or smallest and two up. They’re not that expensive, either.

I wish I had gotten the casaneo during Jackson's brush sale now, lol

Wow been wondering about this for a while .. Can we say that the main different is the way the hair is attached? Love quill brushes they are so elegant 😍

Coool!!! Idk why but sometimes in my brain im like im gonna watch uncle’s watercolour channel lol

I paint all my painting using jackson art's squirrel mop brush, I got a sable brush, but it doesnt hold enough water for me, so instead of getting a large sable brushes, I go with a cheaper squirrel mop brushes., with half of the price of a sable brush, I could get double the size.... but the learning curve for using squirrel brush is quite difficult because the brush doesnt spring back like sable brush. squirrel brush is for people that like painting with a lot of water, it is very difficult to paint fine details with it, so if you want to paint something with a lot of fine details like tree portrait, sable brush is better unless you dont mind getting a rigger brush exclusively for fine detail.

I have the Casaneo size 0 and 2 your brush looks so much bigger because of the camera lol.I really like them I have a couple of the rounds but they really don't come to a point like the quills do. The best prices are Jacksons they are so much cheaper than Amazon, Jerry's or Blick.

i may have a mop in the garage sure have funny names for brushes

I don't have any brushes labeled as quill brushes; but, I do have one that is labeled as a 1 inch mop brush. It loses hair every time I use it. It's from a brand called Simply Simmons which I've used before without issues; but, I do not like this mop brush.

there isn't much info online on what's the difference between the kamvas 13 pro and the kamavas 13 2020. i'm not sure which one to get and i am willing to spend money on both of these displays, i just don't know which one is better, i know this is a bit bold of me to ask but could you please make a comparison video?

Someone said that da vinci quill bruah size 2 is same size as most of the size 12 round brush .In the video nevaskaya size 6 brush looks big as da vinci. Is nevaskaya size 6 bigger than other size 6 brush?

Wow! I’m early 🤗

What brand of watercolor paper are you using in the video? (And what do you consider the best watercolor paper to use?)

Goose quill.....!

it seems like the size numbers are completely arbitrary and meaningless. in that, a 6 brush is not the same across brands. I thought a smaller number was a smaller brush. I'm so confused now. Are the sizes by brand AND type of brush? Do you have a video explaining the sizes? I don't think I could buy a brush online unless it gave dimensions Edit: Ok I see the description for all your brush reviews. I'll check there

Sir can you share DA VINCH CASANEO brush buy link please? Because i scearch a lot but didn't find anywhere online.🙏🙏
