Callia Artist Brushes, designed by renowned artist, author and educator, Willow Wolfe, bring together innovative synthetics and precise craftsmanship, making them ideal for mixed-media and acrylic, oil, and watercolor painting. They come in a variety of traditional and unique shapes and sizes, using synthetic 100% cruelty-free blends like Synthetic Kolinsky, Synthetic Bristle, Synthetic Sable, and Golden Taklon. These brushes are handcrafted for excellent spring and snap, precise color control, and are equipped with high-quality brass ferrules. They maintain their shape and feature Willow's signature six-layer, crack-resistant handle. Callia is designed by artists for artists to paint beautifully and be your trusted and treasured brush of choice!
The Callia Set 900 is built for watercolor florals. With three Rounds (2, 6, 12) and an 8 Filbert, you can move effortlessly from loose washes and big petals to stems and tiny details—helped by Synthetic Sable filaments that load and release color smoothly.
