Princeton Velvetouch, Series 3950, Paint Brush for Acrylic, Oil and Watercolor, Set of 4

These are my first set of brushes. The quality is great and they are beautiful (the barrel). They hold their shape well and paint beautifully with my watercolour pencils. This set is great for if you never had any brushes because it gives you a variety that you can use for different reasons. I went and bought a larger filbert (size 10, the one I'm best with) and it completed my perfect set.

I purchased these Princeton brushes for my granddaughter. I’m pretty sure she will love them. I love all of my Princeton brushes! They are high quality brushes!

I love these brushes. If your just getting started or even have been painting .. These brushes are a must have. Great price point too. I use my flat brush daily! Hold shape & water as long as you take care of them never leave in water. Rinse and dry. I waited to review and these are go toos! Princeton does it again.

Excellent brushes

Overall the brushes feel nice but not what I expected. The wash brush has a acrylic handle, not the velvet touch handle which was disappointing. The two round brushes came with bristle guards but the wash and angle shader did not.

I tried one of the brushes for acrylic. It holds the paint well and goes on nicely. For me I thought it was a bit soft to work on the canvas with the acrylic. But I am used to using stiff brushes. Just a consideration if you prefer stiff brushes. I love them for watercolor, and haven't tried them with oil paints though. Great quality brushes. No stray hairs falling out.

Pricy, but I love it. I usually use cheap brushes since I just assume it doesn't really affect my paintings, but wow. I really like these brushes and it's mainly because of the fact they hold their shape so well! Cheap brushes will fray and split but these will stay in their same shape and because of that it's so easy to paint sharp corners and stay in line. I have small brushes to help with small details but using the corner or the tip of these brushes are so much better (given that a too small of a detail is better drawn in rather than painted in.) I basically only just use these brushes from now on. I'm afraid I might starting spending extra to have better quality brushes. It's not that my painting has gotten better, because I still achieve the same painting with the cheap brushes, but rather, the process became much more comfortable and fun.

Good value in the set. The brushes ate perfect for an adult & I used them for my very first watercolor painting. Happy with the amount of water the carry. For a newbie, gauging water application is something I am just learning. This brush set helped me to control water & paint application.

Heerlijke penselen die zich prima gedragen met acrylverf, werk er erg graag mee. Voor mij mogen ze ook nog een set hebben met nóg bredere kwasten, zó fijn zijn ze!

Great watercolour brushes

Lovely brushes. Nice spring and good point on round.

fits the purpose perfectly

I paint a lot in acrylic and I like these brushes so far, they're nice to use and comfortable to hold.
