The diameter of this brush head is 8.7mm and tip length is 33mm. This makes it roughly comparable in size to a size 2 quill mop brush, which is not available in this brush line (Neptune quill brushes are only available in sizes 4-8). I felt that the size 4 quill would be just a bit too large for me, since most of my work is done in small to medium sizes. This brush seemed to be the size that I needed, so I bought it, and I’m really impressed with it. The belly holds a lot of water and pigment, releasing it fairly evenly onto my paper. I can do big, loose, expressive strokes with it very easily. It is now one of my go-to brushes when I want to put a lot of pigment down on the paper or want to drag pigment with a wet brush to watch it flow from one area to another. It isn’t a quill and isn’t as versatile (which I’ll explain momentarily), but for what it does, it’s excellent. I do will point out that this brush is not really comparable to a quill mop in one major aspect, i.e, the shape of the brush head. Quill brushes have a rounder belly and more narrowly tapered tip, while this brush has a fairly balanced diameter from ferrule to tip. So, while both a quill and this large round can hold a lot of paint and disburse it smoothly, they don’t share the same versatility. With a good quality quill mop, you can get broad strokes and fine lines with the same brush. You get get a lot of stroke variety with this brush, but you will not achieve as fine of lines with it as a good quality, comparably sized quill. End of story. So, it really comes down to your needs. If you need a brush with a full belly and really fine point to do a lot of work with a single brush, you’re better off going with a quill brush. But, if you want large, expressive strokes and to wet sizable areas with a single dip of the brush, this one will do quite nicely. And, it’s pretty affordable, too! Side note: I ended up getting this brush for larger, wet areas and the Da Vinci Casaneo size 0 quill mop on desertcart (which I also love) for the versatility in strokes from a single brush. They complement each other quite nicely and give me a lot of options when I’m working more loosely, filling in large areas or working wet-in-wet. I have added a couple of my recent illustrations, where I used this brush in part of my painting process, to show its versatility. In the perfume bottle illustration, I used this brush to paint the perfume inside of the bottle using a wet-in-wet technique, dispersing near the top, then feathering it downward with the brush. In the smoothie bowl illustration, I used this brush to create the large, wet swirls around the outside edges of the bowl, using a wet-on-dry painting technique with a very wet brush. Both of these illustrations were done on a 9x12” block of Stonehenge Aqua cold-press watercolor paper (also available on desertcart). I like the performance that it delivers and would definitely buy it again. Review: Perfect all in one watercolor brush - This brush arrived quickly and in perfect condition with a plastic sheath protecting the bristles. It’s perfectly soft and absorbent, made of synthetic hair that behaves very similarly to animal hair. There’s a bit more snap than that of a natural hair brush but not quite as much snap as most synthetic brushes. The bristles have a nice full belly that holds a good amount of water and paint and it comes to a beautiful point. This brush can check a lot of boxes when it comes to watercolor because you can cover a large space (as much as can be expected from a size 6) but also get the fine details, depending on how you hold it. The price is very good for the quality which makes it a good brush to start out with if you want to build up your watercolor supplies slowly. I only wish I would have bought this brush sooner. I started with the travel version of this brush, also in a size 6. It’s a great brush as well and I enjoyed using it even when I wasn’t traveling with my paints. I liked it so much that I decided to buy this same Princeton Neptune brush with a full handle. It feels pretty similar except this full handle brush has a slightly pointier tip than the travel version. This makes it just that much easier to get the fine details in my painting. I’m very pleased with my purchase. ## Features - CREATE A MASTERPIECE—Whether you're painting a large area or fine, delicate details, Neptune brushes for watercolor offer the power and precision you need to create a masterpiece. - SOFT & SUPPLE DESIGN—Each watercolor brush is designed with a beautiful blend of silky smooth synthetic hair that's as soft and supple as natural squirrel. - OUR SOFTEST & THIRSTIEST BRUSH—This synthetic brush drinks up pigment and holds a reservoir of water to deliver oceans of color with each beautifully creative stroke. - COLLECT THE FULL SET—Neptune watercolor paint brushes are offered in a beautiful range of shapes including daggers, rounds, script, oval wash, aquarelle, mottlers and quills ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00512BSB2 | | Best Sellers Rank | #6,415 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ( See Top 100 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ) #4 in Bright Art Paintbrushes | | Brand | Princeton Art & Brush Company | | Brand Name | Princeton Art & Brush Company | | Bristle Type | Synthetic | | Brush Width | 0.25 inches | | Color | Dark Wood | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 3,626 Reviews | | Item Type Name | Paintbrush | | Item Weight | 4.54 g | | Manufacturer | Princeton | | Manufacturer Part Number | P4750R0 | | Material | Wood | | Material Type | Wood | | Model Number | P4750R0 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Paint Type | Watercolor | | Set Name | Neptune Watercolor Brush Set (Various Shapes) | | Size | Size 0 | | UPC | 757063475800 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Princeton Art & Brush Company - **Brush Width:** 0.25 inches - **Color:** Dark Wood - **Material:** Wood - **Size:** Size 0 ## Images ![Princeton Artist Brush, Neptune Series 4750, Synthetic Squirrel Watercolor Paint Brush, Round, Size 0 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41x5fWCS06L.jpg) ![Princeton Artist Brush, Neptune Series 4750, Synthetic Squirrel Watercolor Paint Brush, Round, Size 0 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51YYepnH3IL.jpg) ![Princeton Artist Brush, Neptune Series 4750, Synthetic Squirrel Watercolor Paint Brush, Round, Size 0 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/518LqOV95PL.jpg) ![Princeton Artist Brush, Neptune Series 4750, Synthetic Squirrel Watercolor Paint Brush, Round, Size 0 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51pPT2d8OOL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thirsty brush that I love for loose, expressive strokes and wet-in-wet painting *by A***N on June 7, 2019* I looked at the Neptune quill mops before looking at this brush, as I wanted a synthetic brush that could hold a lot of water and pigment, allowing for loose, expressive strokes and wet-in-wet techniques in my watercolor illustration work.
