Princeton Aqua Elite, Series 4850, Synthetic Kolinsky Watercolor Paint Brush,Round, Size 16

If you want to improve your watercolor game, start with an excellent brush. Princeton brushes are the best, whether you are a beginner or professional. It has excellent snap and holds plenty of paint. You’ll be amazed at the versatility of strokes you can do as well. Happy painting!

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.

The gold standard in watercolor painting here in this brush. Holds a ton of water but never makes a mess. I can use the tip to fill in tiny areas right after using most of the water and paint to cover a large area, no need to switch to a smaller brush except for painting very tiny details later. Very pleased with this purchase.

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.

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.

I saw this recommended by a YouTuber whose teaching I am currently using. The brush has a beautiful tip for fine lines, it’s east to control the amount of water you want, and it’s comfortable to hold. I have smaller Princeton brushes from the Velvet touch series, which are quite nice, but this brush is even better.

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 is a great little brush. It is smooth and great for watercolor washes.

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.

I appreciate the high quality of Princeton brushes and this one is so well made. With the correct care this brush may last a lifetime! Affordable, fair price. I recommend that you try Princeton brushes!

arrived in time. the brush was secured in the box well and wasn’t damaged. I love this brush.

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

I fell in love with it after the first use! Princeton became my favorite watercolor brush brand!
