PrincetonAqua Elite Paintbrush, Size 1/2 inch, Matte Black

This is just a lovely brush and a real joy to use. I discovered the Princeton Aqua Elite series of watercolor brushes a while ago and I’ve purchased several of them. This big brush is perfect for doing large washes - it releases the water and paint onto the paper so smoothly. It also has a great point so it can be used for details better than other large wash brushes I have. One other thing I appreciate about the Aqua Elite series is the way they feel in my hand when I paint. I paint several hours a day, most days, and I notice I have less hand fatigue when I use these brushes. I think it has to do with how well balanced they are.

Fantastic brush! It holds a lot of water, hairs stay put, and is generally made very well. It feels good in the hand and is a go-to brush for me when I am painting with watercolor.

This brush holds lots of color and water, but has a very fine tip which allows you to paint fine detail.

This brush, far left seems well made. It is synthetic but at least accurately described and truthful. I have not used this variety of Princeton, but for the price of this line, it seems good.The middle brush, a Silver Black Velvet is one of my favorite brands. It is a combo of genuine squirrel and synthetic. It has high water capacity while the synthetic provides a little more stiffness and durability. The one disadvantage is a higher price point. Still I have had all mine(9) plus a set of travel ones. I have had most for 5-10 yrs. I wanted to try a less expensive one in a large size so chose this. The travel brush at the other end is also a synthetic. It’s always a plus to have several sizes. I will see how it lasts. I think I’m good now, lol.

This brush was on the supply list for a class; otherwise, I would not have bought it. I'm glad I did. It's a very versatile brush that holds lots of water and a good point. It's quickly become a favorite.

So happy to find exactly what I needed for a class without having to go from store to store

Perfect for pine trees!

Thank you for the great and fast shipping. Thank you also for the extra gift. Definitely will order from your business again, I love to support small businesses.

Ótimo pincel. Minha análise será sobre a embalagem. Um produto que vêm de outro país na embalagem que vocês podem conferir nas fotos.Simplesmente frágil demais, e apesar de a Princeton proteger a ponta do pincel na fabricação, qualquer embalagem que por acaso for colocada em cima do envelope que a loja embalou, pode avariar o pincel....eu dei sorte, chegou intacto sos EUA p o Brazil.

Me gusto mucho da un trazo uniforme

sehr gute Qualität

Wow. I am 72 and have done a lot of watercolour painting throughout my life. Some time ago I decided I wouldn't use animal hair brushes for animal welfare reasons, in spite of the fact that most teachers I came across were recommending Sable brushes. A teacher I like just recommended this and it is AMAZING. The point is superb, the holding of a reservoir of paint also superb, handling all I could want. I know this will improve my paintings.

Huston we have a problem!!! It's made in china, can't be sure how original it is? Anyways I have used it so vl give it a try
