Holds a point, plus plenty of water and color. My go to brush for broad strokes to fine detail.
My go to. I follow Mike Jackson on YouTube, and after watching him use it, ordered one. Then ordered a set that included a travel brush. Absolutely love this!

Very precise and snappy
Having used this brush for a bit, it's reputation is well earned. The #12 perla has a wonderful point that always comes to a fine point. I can use this one brush throughout my painting to produce bold as well as fine brush strokes. The synthetic fibers have great snap that allows crisp transition between line thickness along a continuous stroke. This brush by its nature does not perform like natural hair...it is not suitable for large washes because it doesn't hold as much water and pigment as natural hair. What is does ,is releases pigment and water in a very precise and controlled fashion. The ULTIMO is more suited for washes and glazes...the PERLA for detail work and drawing. Also, the brush feels great in the hand.

Highly Recommend
I ordered this brush on my search for the perfect go to brush for watercolors. I was looking for a brush which held enough paint and had a nice snap. The brush delivers specifically for my needs. It is well made and feels good in your hand.

Great watercolor brush
Great watercolor brush. Pointed end and just the right amount of stiffness for painting details.

Superior brush
This is the first brush I grab when I need this for my watercolors. I have not tried every brand out there, but I have quite a few and this is a superior one.

Escoda Perla #8
It's been a year since I purchased this brush. I was very excited about this purchase however, from the beginning the point wasn't sharp enough and over time it has gotten worse. I have purchased 2 more Escoda Perla brushes because I heard so many good things about them and the third time was a charm. My second brush is a #2 Escoda Perla and it has a bad point also, so much, that I use almost exclusively my Escoda Perla #12 even for small details. I am ready to use this #8 to apply masking fluid. What a waste!
