John Stevens uses these round ferrule, chisel-edge Rekab
brushes for smaller Roman lettering as well as for a variety
of other styles. John uses these along with flat ferrule chisel
edged brushes for his brush lettering. These quality sable
brushes, imported from Israel, with proper care will last
for 20 years or more. These are called “Showcard” or “One
Stroke Brushes.” They are more versatile than flat ferrule,
chisel edge brushes, but take a bit more skill to use. John
recommends the #5 to start with. For a wider range of sizes,
he suggests adding the #3 & #7.

BR38. WN Artists' Water Color Sable. Round.
Excellent for fine detail, lines and washes. The
round-bellied watercolor brush is the most popular
watercolor brush. Quality Kolinsky sable hair, birchwood
handles and seamless nickel ferrules all put
together by hand to create a truly excellent brush.
Has been improved to ensure a perfect point. Matte
finish handle. Recommended by Valerie Weilmuenster
for illuminated letters as a good and less expensive
alternative to the Winsor & Newton Series 7.

Escoda Brushes. Annie Cicale uses these brushes
for painting. Eliza Schulte Holliday, co-author of Brush
Lettering, highly recommends these brushes from Spain
for pointed brush lettering. They have plenty of bounce
and good snap and are reasonably priced. Eliza starts her
students with the #2 for lettering.
