Princeton Neptune 4750 Series Watercolor Brush Set – Watercolor Brushes Professional Soft Synthetic Squirrel Hair – Artist Water Paint Brush Set – 1pc Aquarelle 3/4" & 3 Round Brushes (Sizes 2, 6, 10)

For the money, it is a great set of watercolor brushes for a basic set to carry around if you paint as an amateur. Important to use brushes that hold water and distribute evenly.

These brushes are just so functional - great spring, hold a good amount of water, yet can keep a fine point. I recommend these for my beginner students because the set is a great selection of sizes with a wash. But I also know professionals that use them because they are just versatile. One of the things you look for in a good watercolor brush is the ability to hold a lot of water, but also to retain a fine point. It means you can load up your brush and do big washes, but still tighten up and do tiny bits of detail with the sharp point. They are a synthetic squirrel, so a good cruelty free brush. If you are starting a watercolor class, this is a great set to get to cover all the bases starting out.

I just paint as a relaxing hobby and got into it this year, so I can’t speak to whether these would be a good investment for someone like an art student, but these brushes were a delightful step up from the hobby-grade ones I was using before. I’m finally getting some traction on techniques I’ve been practicing for a few months now. Great for a little splurge that will have you enjoying your painting practice and give a boost of confidence in your abilities. Don’t neglect to pair them up with some decent paper, though - they do carry a lot of water!

These brushes are very good at holding water so that you bring a lot of pigment to the paper .The brisilles are oft but durable.

Great watercolor brushes. I use for painting landscapes.

After using cheap brushes I was hopeful that these would be better and they are. I was very pleased with how thirsty they were and how much easier it is to paint with them.

Its a nice brush. Well crafted. The brush hairs are fine. My only downgrade is my personal preference for a brush with more "snap" back to neutral position, when the brush is wet with water or paint. When I make a stroke, the fibers stay in the position they were when I lifted the brush from the paper. They don't return to neutral.

Great sizes
