da Vinci Watercolor Series 10 Maestro Paint Brush, Round Kolinsky Red Sable with Transparent Storage Tube, Size 3/0 (19-3/0)

These brushes are awesome. I ordered size 0 and size 1 for painting Warhammer 40K miniatures and I'm so glad I did. So far, with proper care and cleaning, the brushes are giving me great results on my miniatures. I'm very new to painting so my results aren't professional but that's not the fault of the brushes. I first tried some brushes from other companies specifically geared towards the hobby but these brushes blow them out of the water. I am extremely happy with these brushes and play to order size 2 and sizes 2/0 and 3/0 in the coming days.

These brushes are decent for beginner brushes for miniatures but trust me once you get used to them there are more expensive much better brushes, but I still like these for secondary brushes if you want.

When I buy a brush, typically, the bristles of the brush are all nice and tidy, all coming to a sharp point, but there were multiple stray hairs when I took the brush out of the tubing. I attempted to use the brush to paint some detail work on some Aeronautica Imperialis models, and the stray hairs ended up causing small little scratches parallel to the area I was painting. Quite disappointed, but I'm sending it back to amazon, and we'll see if the replacement is any better, fingers crossed.EDIT: New brush was received a few days ago, and I had a chance to give a proper brush the appropriate chance. I will certainly raise the stars from 2 to 4, but I'm still noticing that the brush doesn't have the snap of the Raphael or even the Blick Master series kolinsky sables, which carry a lifetime satisfaction warranty. The bristles have also splayed a little bit, but nothing that cannot be overcome by adjustment of how I paint (Not like the first one I got in). Sincerely, it's GOOD brush, but not as I've heard mentioned in the past. For this price point though, I'd likely suggest WN7's or Raphael 8404's.

Very small for a #2. My 8404 and WN #1s are a little bigger.The brand is very nice though.

I just received a series 10 size 8 in a tube, and the brush appears to be fine except that the tube cap at the base of the tube seems to be attached to the brush body. When I take the tube cap off, the brush comes with it. I tried pulling and twisting with just about as much force as I'm willing to go without potentially breaking the brush. At this point I cant tell if its supposed to be permanently stuck to the brush or what. Anyone ever see this?

I love all of the Da Vinci brushes and Schmincke paint I have purchased from The Journalist.

Needed a brush like this for applying silver solder with flux. Did the job great
