A rare brush that feels the Oriental breath

Rare Brushes with a Touch of East Asia

As the word "ink has five colors", Oriental Art has been using a variety of color expressions using minimal materials.

In particular, the technique of "breaking", which uses dynamic expressions like abstract paintings to express a three -dimensional effect in ink to repeat ink, is used, not only in the basal material, coloring material, and inkstone. Random expression elements have been required for brushes.

The rare brush introduced this time is indispensable for performing such ink expression.


In Oriental Art, the paint brushes are based on luxurious and cohesive brushes, such as sheep, horses, and weasel hair, but rare brushes can enjoy a stroke that is a bit different from the standard expression. In addition, some of these brushes have a beautiful shape that makes you fascinate just by looking at them.


In this article, we will introduce such a rare brush in a clearer image than the images of Pigment Tokyo's online shop.

If you have any items that you are interested in, please refer to shopping.



·chicken

The first thing to introduce is a chicken brush.

The soft texture of cotton, using the wing part, makes you want to touch it all the time.

Expressing a line that is very soft but contains moderate randomity.



This is a medium size and small size. Due to the long pattern, various ways of drawing are possible. The contrast between the pure white feathers and the black axis makes you feel a sense of luxury.





    This brush, which has a shorter tip compared to the white chicken brush axis, is suitable for drawing more detailed parts.

    If you want to draw on postcard size large paper, this size may be the best.




    ・ Wild birds

    Instead of a chicken brush, this wild bird brush has a rough texture like a broom for drawing.



    The head is about 120mm and the diameter is 35mm, which is a large one in the rare brush introduced this time. By applying plenty of coloring materials, it is possible to create a moderately solid and powerful expression.

    It is a brush suitable for painting expression on a relatively large screen.




    ・ Peacock brush

    The most shaped beauty of the rare brush is the Peacock brush here.

    This valuable brush using the tail feathers.

    Because each hair is thick and very soft, it cannot be moved as expected, but on the contrary, it creates an interesting expression.



    We have two types of brushes, inside and small.

    Like the white chicken brush black axis, it is possible to create a different line by holding or shortening the pattern for a long time.





    There are two types of brushes, which have a characteristic handle,: the hair tips are combined in a broom and a fan -shaped one. The photo below is a broom -shaped one.




    ・ Nishiki chicken brush

    This brush, which is characteristic of extremely coloring, uses the wings of Nishiki chicken (pheasant).




      It has a very elastic and sharp tip, so you can draw a sharp line while being grabbed.





      ・ Mountain horse

      Samba is an animal that is very similar to a deer. It mainly lives in India, southern China, Southeast Asia and Vietnam. Today, the opportunity to see the horses of imitation has increased, but the ones introduced here are genuine horses. It is one of the rare brushes where imports are now prohibited.



      It is softer than Kaga, is moderately steep, and can create a delicate kasure unique to mountain horse hair. It is also used for blurring expressions with rock paint.



      In addition, this lab also handles genuine mountain horse brushes.




        The last thing I will introduce is a monkey brush. If you look at the name alone, you may find it very characteristic, but you can actually draw a good, gentle line and face.



        It is a very interesting brush that is very good and can carry a brush smoothly from the tip of the brush to the root.




        These brushes can create a unique painting space by using low -clay water -based coloring materials such as solid ink, colorful ink, and transparent watercolor paint.

        If you are familiar with ordinary brushes, you want to try new expressions or those who are fascinated by their appearance, why not try a rare brush?
