Onyx - Synthetic Squirrel
DESCRIPTION
Designed with control in mind, Trekell’s Onyx brushes unite precision with unhampered flow, all without the fear of flare outs. Not the qualities you expect from synthetic bristles, right? And yet, like Trekell’s other synthetic brushes, an Onyx mimics nature incredibly well. We bet you can’t tell that these weren’t once part of a squirrel. So, the only difference is price. So, watercolorists, why wait? An Onyx brush will soak up what you need and paint exactly what you want.
Quill Mop - 8000 Series
The quill mop is perfect for watercolors and laying large washes. The synthetic squirrel hair can retain a lot of liquid. Thanks to that trait and its unique shape, such as its precision point, a quill mop provides creative artists with a number of options.

United StatesNo shedding, and they still keep their shape super well after drying. The onyx brushes in particular hold SO much water! I love them!
United StatesLooking at purchasing a few larger ones
United StatesHolds a lot of water which is both a pro and a con. It drips like a leaky faucet when you use it but it holds its shape like nobodies business. 9/10 recommend. Not my favorite but no where near my least favorite.
United StatesThey hold a lot of water and paint, they are springy yet fluid, and all in all one of my favorite brush types. 5 out of 5, I definitely need to get more of these brushes
United StatesSo this is my first official specifically watercolor brush and Wow!!! It really feels wonderful and I love the brush sooo much!! A definite must have!!
United StatesThis brush in itself is really beautiful. Nice form and feel in the hand. I’ve been using it as my main watercolor brush now, and it makes painting washes a breeze. Holds a ton of water, but retains a thin enough tip to maneuver in tighter spaces.
