Our guest today is Gregory Daniels, their North American importer. On this episode Gregory tells us all about the history of da Vinci as well as his own personal history growing up as part of a legacy of art material suppliers. He also talks about da Vinci's unyielding commitment to quality and ecology, as well as how the founder of da Vinci, Hansfried Defet, not only succeeded to attain his goal of making the best brushes in the world, but also made advances in technology to create a synthetic fiber that is virtually impossible to knock off. This then allowed the company to produce the highest quality vegan brushes alongside their meticulously crafted natural hair brushes. We also talk about what sets da vinci apart from other brush companies: their dedication to excellence and not cutting corners, or in this case hair, for the sake of profit. Gregory also tells us all about the amazing artisans at da Vinci who make every single brush by hand, and who maintain a high level of quality control to ensure that every brush they make is a work of art in itself. Whether you're a hobbyist or a professional artist, these brushes truly are the best in the world. This is part one of a two part series. In this episode we will be focusing mostly on oil painting brushes both natural bristle, as well as vegan and synthetic brushes.
