PrincetonAqua Elite Paintbrush, Size 1, Matte Black

Beautiful brush; holds plenty of water, and has a fine point.

It has a fine tip and the brush holds water well.

I like this brush but I just got started so I can't speak much about it; So far the brush seems good quality, hold water, and have not lost bristles.

Wonderful brush. Horrible Amazon shipping. I made a mistake buying from Amazon. Will never happen again. Buy these beautiful brushes locally if possible.

This is a well made watercolor brush, but I have mixed feelings regarding its painting performance.I like its size and weight. I guess it’s called synthetic kolinsky because the bristle is on the stiffer side, but it does not behave like a kolinsky brush in my experience. This brush is way too dense and springy while holding less water, which makes it difficult to achieve the transparent strokes that most watercolorists are after.I also want to mention that I own this brush as well as the Princeton Synthetic Squirrel Brush in the same size. I will choose the latter even if the synthetic squirrel one loses its point pretty quickly.I’m not unhappy with this purchase, but I will not purchase it again.

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.

Love the pointy tip on this paint brush! Good quality…

muy buen pincel para trazo fino y para degradados, para la uniformidad en las capas, recogen bastante agua.hay q saber manejarlos bien para aprovechar su calidad.
