Unboxing a Chinese or Sumi-e Painting Brush and Getting it Read for Use

We quickly show you how to prepare a brand new Chinese brush and soften it so that it is ready for use.
We are demonstrating this with an OAS Large Flow Brush. The Oriental Art Supply Flow Brush line has been around for over three decades are still the best performing combination brushes at their price points. If you have struggled experiencing the joy and freedom on spontaneous style Chinese Brush Painting or Calligraphy with poor quality brushes that have too little bounce and do not come to a consistent point, try a Flow brush.
Beware of fake Flow brushes. Flow is a registered trademark of Oriental Art Supply and is source from an exclusive brush maker. We've encountered students on the East Coast who had purchased fake "Flow" brushes from other suppliers and were not the same and performed inadequately in comparison.
