In this project I used two different dagger brushes. One is a 3/8" Princeton Neptune which a brush length of 1 1/2" on the long side. The other is the same width but indicates a #6  but the brush length is half as long. Both brushes were fun to use. The longer Princeton brush holds a fair amount of water so you can create some nice long stokes. These are the strokes that are willow like in the left image. This was an excellent class to explore brushes you may not normally use.  I would like to see how people use their bamboo calligraphy brushes.
