Princeton Elite Synthetic Kolinsky Sable Watercolor Brushes - Round - Size 12

Holds lots of water and is soft for a synthetic. The brush performs well. Good value.

This is a great brush, it can hold a lot of water and still come to a fine point if needed. It feels good in your hand; the paint on the handle has a very slight texture.

I love this brush! It is the perfect size that I needed to do abstract roses. Holds plenty of water and pigment and keeps its shape with a nice fine point at the end. I received this item in impeccable condition. It was secured in bubble wrap, plus wrapped in cardboard and it came with a plastic protector for the bristles. I bought this in a size 12 round and used it with the Prima Tropical Watercolor Palette on Canson 9 x 12 cold pressed 140 LB watercolor paper.

Excellent. Best brushes for the money. I like these brushes better than the natural sable brushes. I'm an experienced watercolor artist.

I like the Princeton Neptune brushes because they hold lots of water, but they're very soft and don't have much snap to them. Taklon brushes have lots of snap but don't hold enough water. Enter the Princeton Elite. This brush holds tons of water; it just goes and goes, yet it has plenty of snap to it. It has a good point for fine lines, and makes smooth, evenly pigmented wide lines. It even does an excellent job on washes. If you don't want to use animal hair paint brushes and are looking for a high quality synthetic substitute, or you just want a great brush, look no further. I'm definitely going to purchase more of these.

This is a really good round brush I use for watercolor and it is great for washes and larger areas because of its bigger size. I own several of the smaller sizes and they are all great too! The handle has a good feel/grip. I gave only 4 stars because I waited for like a month for the brush to ship which is really too long in my opinion. Otherwise a great product.

These brushes are recommended by a painter I follow online - and they look and feel like the perfect brushed to do much of my work. Came earlier than expected - thanks!

This is one of my favorite synthetics. In a 12 round it holds a decent amount of paint and keeps a fairly sharp point. It’s also great for lifting out or other jobs that might cause excessive wear on a more expensive natural brush.
