Princeton Artist Brush Neptune, Brushes for Watercolor Series 4750, Dagger Synthetic Squirrel, Size 25

I absolutely love the princeton brand and this brush is another one to add to my watercolour collection. The brush have soft bristles that hold the water well and the quill shape is so versatile. From large washes to fine lines i've enjoyed using this brush very much. It holds a lot of colour and releases it in a controlled and even way. The quill shape is new to me and i wish i'd purchased this one a long time ago! I'm not a very skilled artist but i've painted a nice landscape without changing brushes at all! I will be purchasing a few more sizes and i'd recommend it to anyone.

Superb brush!

Perfect for the work I was doing.

Reasonably well made fair price.

I never had a Princeton brush before so I didn't know what to expect.It came with a plastic transparent protective bristle cap in a long narrow zip bag. The wooden body is slightly fatter and longer than a typical paintbrush, but feels good in my hand. After washing off the protective dried gel on the bristles, it felt soooooooo soft, almost luxurious, when I made a long stroke. Longer I use it in a session, softer it becomes, but never to the point where it's difficult to control it. Holds enough water to last a line across an A4 paper sheet. So far it's keeping its shape well whether wet or dry.The only possible con: it's soft enough to make me suspect that those into precision, straight lines or tiny details may struggle with it a bit I think it's possible to do those after some practice, but all in all,. I think it may be more suited to those into long loose/soft strokes, small-area washes, large flowers/plants or urban sketching. I'm liking it so far, which makes it a good buy in my books.For comparison's sake, I've uploaded a photo of four paintbrushes (from top to bottom):- Princeton Neptune 6- Van Gogh 191 Selected Filament 6 (Neptune is a little softer than this)- Artway 6 (Neptune is much softer than this)- Silver Brush Velvet 3000s 4 (Neptune is a tiny bit stiffer than this)And a quick sketch in watercolour (Paul Rubens 12), which I did with the Princeton Neptune brush 6.

Good Rigger brushes are essential to my paintings and this is excellent.

This is a quality brush. It keeps it's shape and is great for washes, painting flowers and doing fine details. I was really impressed at it's capacity to hold paint. I recommend this brush because of it's versatility.

Good quality brush, however I don’t use it as much as I thought I would as the hairs as very floppy, I prefer brushes with a snap to them.

Ótimo pincel.

this brush feels very balanced in the hand. Holds plenty of water/paint. good value

aquarelle, excellent produit, je recherchais un oinceau qui retient l'eau j'ai été choyé, je le recommande

These brushes are really lovely. Soft vegan faux fur bristles and they hold a lot of water. This ones also great for small line and detail work.

I love this brush for delicate lines on my watercolor work, and I love it. The Neptune line is wonderful, but it might not be best for a beginner. The Neptunes hold A LOT of water, which is great for longer, fluid lines; but can be hard to control if you struggle with water control. The brush is super soft and makes beautiful delicate marks.
