"A long haired brush, when used full of paint gives a very particular sort of stroke- the paint applies thickly, but the impasto quite short as the spring of the long hair lends itself to a thicker stroke that ends quickly with evidence of the hair dragging through the paint.  When used oil rich, or full of solvent, the Egbert can act a bit like a rigger, precise, long lines that when done confidently have a steady thickness and calligraphic edge."

Leo Mancini-Hresco
