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

Just next level product. Such well made brushes, perfect for watercolour, a joy to use!

I am trying to learn watercolor and everyone I watch say that you must have good quality brushes, but I was not totally convinced, decided to give it a try with this set of Princeton brushes and…. Oh my! What a game changer! The experience is completely different and now I really feel like I can actually paint something! The touch and the precision are soooo much better, but the biggest difference for me was in the water holding capacity of the brush and also the way it spreads the paint.. I absolutely love it! Worth every penny!

I got these brushes for watercolour and they are perfect!

Really great quality and totally worth having as an upgrade for my artwork!

All the advantages of squirrel hair BUT synthetic so appeals to the part of me who doesn’t want to support the killing of animals for their fur. Excellent snap and point. Holds water and pigment well. Excellent value and a delight to use
