Brushes Watercolor Set 5537a2 - Maestro Kolinsky Red Sable 4 Brush Set - Full Belly Rounds - Series 11 Sizes 2/0, 0, 1 & 2, 1 count, Black

I have been a professional watercolorist for the past 30 plus years. DaVinci are my go too brushes. You cannot beat their quality and craftsmanship. I have recommended these to my students for years. They come to a wonderful trip and if you take care of them and clean them they will last for years.

These are great, very supple and responsive. I trust DaVinci more than the other assortment of brands you might see listed as Sable brushes... My personal preference is for shorter handles, and my ultimate favorite still remains the DaVinci micro maestro sable tipped brushes, but these are still great quality workhorse brushes if you take proper care and maintenance

Nice quality and fast delivery!

Echoing most of the other reviews for this product, as I've had a similar experience. I'm really happy with the quality of the brushes! They've been nice to work with for tiny details - they hold a decent amount of paint for their size, deposit paint smoothly, hold their point very well, and feel sturdy and well made. I will say I do feel like the smallest 1-2 brushes in the set are so tiny that I don't feel like I'll end up using them, given how well the larger 2 hold their point, I don't think the smaller 1-2 do much that the others in the set can't already do, but that's more of a personal preference based on the work I'm using them for. I agree with other reviewers that the packaging is lacking. Each brush did have a protective tube over the bristles, but the set came in a thin plastic cellophane bag that made it feel like I was unwrapping $5 children's brushes from Target. I'm not looking for anything crazy packaging-wise but something a bit more elevated to match the price point/experience of using the brushes would be nice.

So much hype around these brushes that when you compare them to Winsor and Newton Series 7 or Raphael 8404 these seem very low quality...not to mention the way they are shipped in...Da Vinci can do better as well as it's packaging...for the price they ask

After 6 month this brush still new. If you are new pick this set 000 0 1 2 later can jump to Raphael 8404 or Artis Opus I don’t mention W&N Series 7 because they’re bad experience on last 3 years

A wonderful watercolor artist, Louise DeMasi, uses these, and I can see why she likes them so much. The length and fine point on each brush is perfect for getting into corners and adding fine details. They hold plenty of water, and release it gradually, which is often not true of synthetic brushes.

These brushes are well made and are great for the price. There are no issues with them. I have been building model kits for 30 years, and I bought them to start miniatures painting to have a set of brushes dedicated for miniature painting. They are great for it.
