This dagger travel brush is a sable/nylon blend that can create fine expressive marks with its tip, as well as wide, calligraphic strokes with its angled side.

Various shades and textures of yellow watercolor paint. The image features a large yellow wash at the top, followed by multiple wavy and linear brush strokes in different intensities of yellow.

One Brush, Many Marks

Lay the brush on its side for broad washes or blocky architectural shapes, then shift to the tip for fine details and organic shapes, such as foliage. Press and twist for a range of calligraphic strokes, or flick the bristles to splatter spontaneous textures across the page. Experiment with the angle of your hand and vary the pressure for thicker or thinner lines. You might even double-load the brush with two colors at once for painterly, unpredictable effects. From the clean edges of a city street to the organic gestures of leaves, grasses, and water, this dagger brush is a versatile all-in-one brush for expressive sketching.
