Latino Artist Used 00 Paintbrush

Mexican artist Rodolfo Escalera, painted in the realism genre and used, almost exclusively, 00 paintbrushes. Why did he use them? Because it was with these fine and delicate instruments that he was able to capture the detail his body of oil paintings on canvas represented, as well as to satisfy his creative needs. The 00 paintbrush allowed him the precision he needed to capture a high degree of realism in his artwork. Each brush would be discarded after only 30 minutes of use as they would fray and become useless to him.
