I am a novice watercolor artist. I have very cheap brushes, middle of the road brushes and brushes I paid nearly $100 for a set of three. Of them all, I like this travel set the best! I initially purchased this set so I could paint while in my oncologist's waiting room and other medical waiting rooms and that was the only purpose for buying them.However, these have become my favorite brushes! I ordered a second set so I could keep one set in my purse with my travel palette of mono pigment paints and one for home and to take to work so that I can paint during breaks.The brushes hold just the right amount of water. They seem quite durable and there has not been any hair loss (taking about the brushes, not me LOL). They unscrew and screw back together very firmly and nicely, not flimsy at all. So they are all designed. They function by well, so much so they are my go to brushes now. They break down to a great travel size with the hairs well protected and they deploy to a size that feels very nice in my hand.I've had no issues with staining, they clean up very nicely.I highly recommend but remember, YMMV (your mileage may vary).

Excellent brushes.

These are great for watercolor. I take them with me when painting outside and use them when painting at home as well. They are properly dense, well shaped, and nicely weighted with the handles (the cap screws onto the end to form a long handle). They also dry quickly enough that I don't worry about carrying them around damp (but not so quickly they are a burden to paint with). They are straightforward to pack and unpack and hold water well. The sizes definitely cover the different levels of detail that I need. And the case is pretty classy looking as well.

I generally do not leave reviews but thought this one deserved it. This was one of the first brush sets I got when I got into watercolor about a year ago. At the time a brush was a brush and I knew nothing about them. All I knew is that it was a travel set for cheap money. DO NOT let the price fool you. This brush holds it own against all my Silver Black Velvet brushes. I am very very happy with this brush and even though I own single brushes twice this price I still find myself going back to this one.Hold TONS of water and pigment. Great disbursement of water and does not just drop it. This brush comes to an absolute fine tip point-#12. I have not really used the other 2 in the set as the 12 does everything I need from larger washes to small little details. The smaller brush actually does not come to as fine as a point as the number 12. If you are able to buy 1 brush from this set ( no idea if you can) get the 12 and dont look back.Highly recommended for the beginner end even seasoned watercolor artist. As close to a sable as you can really get.DO be careful putting brush back in metal sleeve. Wet the brush first to a point then put it in its metal housing. I do a lot of hiking / backpacking and this is my go to brush to bring up in the mountains if I want to do some painting. not too heavy, comfortable and just works well. Anyways, that's my rant and 2c. Enjoy and hope this helped at least 1 person.

Currently I am using the Mimik Squirrel watercolor brushes and I really like those. They don't make a travel watercolor brush, so I thought I would try these. I have to say I really like them. The handle on the size 12 is a little loose when you fit it on the end of the brush (which is why only four stars instead of five) but doesn't come off. It does wiggle a bit so you have to be prepared for that when you paint. I don't have that problem with the size 4 or 8. I think these brushes hold a lot of water and pick up pigment very well. Having said that, I've never painted with a sable brush or a real squirrel hair brush so I can't compare them. All of the sizes come to a fine point. I haven't painted enough with them to know if they lose a lot of hair or not but they don't seem like they will. For a metal travel brush the weight is fine, I was expecting them to be heavier than they are, so the weight (or lack of it) was a nice surprise for me. If you need something lighter I think you have to go to a plastic handled brush, but I like the esthetic of the metal. The brushes do sit firmly in the caps when they are closed, so they are not coming off by accident!As I said before, the wiggle in the handle on the size 12 is what brought it down to 4 stars, but based on the price I would give it 5.

I bought these for a painting retreat in October. They arrived yesterday and I did a try out last night. Holy cow they are so nice and their point is absolutely wonderful. I did soak them in a little bit of brush soap and warm water because they were very stiff. The over for the brushes screws to the end of the brush so it won't get lost while painting outside. They flow nice and react with water and pigments very well.

Wow! I love it! they're very lightweight, convenient size, the brushes can hold water, very good quality brushes, I'm impressed, they do the job! Amazing! This brushes are very secure, because the bullets (brush store) screw on the brush stick, it's very easy, and have a nice length! have a three essential sizes 🥰 I highly recommend this!
