Sable Travel Watercolor Brushes, 4pcs Professional Sable Watercolor Paint Brushes for Artists - Pointed Rounds Dagger Flat for Watercolor Acrylics Inks Gouache Painting

I first purchased the Kolinsky Sable Watercolor Travel 4 Brush set with the wood shafts that contain a Liner, Pointed Round, Flat, Cat's Tongue Oval Wash brushes and loved them so much I came back and purchased these two sets. These stand up to the quality of the first set perfectly. Pros: 1. Beautiful sturdy brushes that hold paint well and are a joy to paint with. 2. They have great hand feel and comfortable weight to them. 3. They come in a nice sturdy beautiful leather pouch that makes them easy to transport and pack. I use them every time I paint whether traveling or not. 4. The barrel you insert the brush into is nice and wide so you don't run the risk of spreading the bristles. 5. They stay nice and secure when opened since they screw together as opposed to slip on. 6. They paint so smooth and clean. 7. The tip stays nice and sharp as well. 8. Fantastic value for the quality. Cons: NONE! I cannot speak to the professional quality of them as I am an intermediate watercolor painter and do not own super expensive brushes but I have used them almost daily since I purchased them and have had nothing but satisfaction for with these brushes. They really helped step up my game once I started using them. I wish there was a set of detail brushes like these available. I absolutely love painting with these brushes. I would love to see a set of larger round brush sizes as well as a set detail brushes available.

Tenia la duda de que tan bien funcionarían estos pinceles, asi que quede gratamente sorprendida porque cumplieron con su función para absorber agua y pigmento para acuarela, no hace falta recargar. Tal vez sera muy util que vengan descripciones mas detalladas para el producto para tener información de lo largo de las brochas: el pincel plano mide 1 cm, el pincel tipo sable 2cm y los 2 redondons son de 1cm y 2cm de largo, las puntas si afinan bastante para hacer trazos finos tomando el cuenta que son pinceles grandes. El empaque es elegante y los mangos-tapas embonan perfectamente. Los seguire usando para comentar que tal siguen después de varios usos.

Je voulais des pinceaux pour mes sorties et cet ensemble vient avec une belle variété (carré, dague,...). Ils sont au-delà de mes attentes quant à la douceur et la qualité des poils. Je les utilise depuis quelques jours et pas de perte de poils. Tant qu'à la capacité à retenir la couleur c'est tout à fait correct pour moi. Comme je ne travaille pas les grands formats je n'ai pas testé mais j'ai confiance. Seul petit inconvénient : Ils ne sont pas très bien balancés à cause du poids du manche en métal (métal de qualité et vraiment très doux, d'ailleurs quasiment trop car il pourrait glisser). J'ai adapté ma prise en main en le tenant au milieu et c'est correct. C'est vraiment le seul petit inconvénient et la prise en main d'un pinceau c'est très personnel. TRÈS BONS PINCEAUX. Plus je les utilise plus je les aime. J'ajoute un commentaire à l'effet que les poils ont une très belle souplesse, ce qui est génial pour les lavis.

I purchased these brushes on a whim; they came up in my search for synthetic Kolinsky watercolor brushes. For the price I was a bit skeptical, but since I could return them if they didn’t meet my standards, I took a chance. I also purchased another set, same brand, that were just regular short-handled watercolor brushes. At first, when I started using them, I worried a bit because they were shedding. Thankfully the shedding stopped. These brushes arrived on July 12 and I’ve used them every day since! They hold a tremendous amount of water/pigment, have great snap, and are capable of creating fine lines. I love both sets, but tend to use the travel brushes more because I like the weight and feel of them! Hot tip: do NOT attempt to cap the travel brushes when dry, it won’t work because they are fluffy. For full transparency, it took me a sec to figure out how to re-cap them…I discovered there is a small hole in the cap tip. To re-cap them, simply dip them in clean water, roll them on a paper towel (or use your fingers) to a point and place them in the tube! Voila!! Your travel brushes are good to go and there is no damage to the bristles. Recently I took a trip to the beach and took the 4-piece travel set with me. I was able to paint any and everything I wanted with just 4 brushes! I’d love to add a small liner brush for super tiny details; maybe they have one I didn’t see? In short, I have been so thoroughly impressed with these brushes! I’m always searching for “the” best brushes for watercolor, and I have quite the collection now! I find myself reaching for these 9 out of 10 times. For the price, I’d say these brushes are a steal! I have another synthetic Kolinsky brush that cost the same price I paid for the travel set and, in my opinion, the Fuumuuis put it to shame. Take a chance, buy the brushes, I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

I take my paints with me on all my trips, id rather paint a scene then take a picture. These brushes are high quality and travel safe, capped off to protect the brushes, compact and comes with a nice leather pouch to keep them all organized.
