Squirrel is very soft and holds the greatest amount of water of any hair.
The generous, full body of the brush provides a huge reservoir, and is soft enough to put washes over preceding colours. The fine tip makes it a useful brush for spontaneous and loose wet-in-wet watercolour too.
Squirrel hair is very delicate and should not be used with oilcolour or acrylic colours.
