Aqua Elite Round Brush, Synthetic, Short Handle, Size 1, 1 Count

Love this paintbrush

I had seen these brushes used by other watercolorists, and they raved about them. I thought I would give them a try, I’m glad I did! For a reasonably (NOT CHEAP) priced synthetic brush, I feel, they are comparable to pricier brushes, these are great! ! They hold more than adequate amount of water. Have a soft not stiff feel. Snap back to a sharp precise point. Have some kind of soft coating on the handle, not varnished wood or bare wood, which feels great in my arthritic hands. I just received and tried these so I can’t vouch for longevity yet, but right now I love them. I purchased size #6, #4, #2, and #1 Princeton Aqua Elite rounds. I paint a lot of florals that require detailed and controlled brush strokes, these do exactly that! I WILL be purchasing this line in their detail sizes. LOVE them!

Trying out different brushes. Been liking this one.

I love these Princeton aqua elite brushes. I own 5 of them now. They hold a good amount of paint in the belly of the brush yet make a thin line. It was packaged okay, loose with another item but the protective sleeve was in place.

What a shame this company knows nothing about their product. I saw some recent reviews that they were shipping with a protective cover, but mine was just thrown in a bag, so of course the delicate bristles are shredded. It's useless to paint fine strokes now.

This brush arrived with split ends and is essentially useless for anything but dry-brushing. It doesn't help that the brush arrived without the protective tubing that most brushes are shipped with. I would not order this again.

This brush was split and just thrown in a bag. Not even in a small ziplock
