Princeton Aqua Elite, Series 4850, Synthetic Kolinsky Watercolor Paint Brush,Round, 12

The Aqua Elite is so smooth and holds a good balance of water and pigment. High quality.Didn’t realize what a difference a good brush makes until I upgraded from my cheaper off brand ones

Aqua Elite, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways...1) even though this is a soft brush, it easily returns to a point2) it's holds tons of water and pigment3) the bristles flare out generously if you press down which helps to make a smooth brush stroke4) the coating on the handle makes it easier for me to gripIf you're into watercolor painting and other brushes are making you want to give up, try the Aqua Elite series.

Way better than the cheaper ones I've been using! I’m a beginner at watercolor but this makes it easier to learn and less frustrating.

Princeton Aqua Elite brushes are the BEST for watercolors! They hold a huge amount of water and the point on the round and long round brushes can't be beat! Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This brush is a great all around brush! I have Silver Brushes, some signature artist brushes, some expensive stuff ..and I got 12 of these great brushes for a very low price! Very fine point compared to Silver Brushes..some snap, holds some paint and water, big lines to fine lines..this brush delivers! Very satisfied with this purchase!

I quickly painted this floral to use the brush for the first time....(white ink pen used on flower petals) done on 5 x 7 100% cotton watercolor Paper. I'm in love with this brush! Nice control, works great as a mop (I bought size 12) but can just about double as a fine liner! The tip is fabulous the brush is well made and it is beautiful. Feel really good working with it. I am happy with the Princeton Aqua Elite size 12 round....it's my new Fave.

I'm an intermediate-advanced watercolor painter, and I always have a feeling that the perfect brush is out there... but that I haven't found it yet. Well, this Princeton Aqua Elite sz. 12 has it all. Holds plenty of water, releases it evenly, has a very precise point in spite of being a larger brush, has a little softness *and* a little snap—and it didn't break the bank! They're not cheap but they are right in the value-for-money sweet spot. I'm seriously considering getting a few more from this line. Highly recommend!!

This is a great size for many watercolor paintings. The brush holds plenty of water and the tip of the brush has a great tip for small details. Princeton is quickly becoming my favorite brand.
