Princeton Aqua Elite Paintbrush, Size 3/4 inch, Matte Black

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.

Fantastic brush! It holds a lot of water, hairs stay put, and is generally made very well. It feels good in the hand and is a go-to brush for me when I am painting with watercolor.

This brush holds lots of color and water, but has a very fine tip which allows you to paint fine detail.

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 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.

This brush cost me 22 bucks. That's a substantial amount of money for a brush I only use occasionally, usually for the single purpose of creating an imprimatura. But, it does a SUPERB job of that single purpose. Soft, glides across hot press and multimedia cotton rag paper, holds a lot of water. I also love that it is not made of animal hair. I love this line of brushes, and have a bout 6 of them now. I will NEVER buy sable brushes again. These are great for gouache and watercolor. Highly recommended.

Perfect for pine trees!

Holds it's tip for for fine watercolor detail.

Received as described

I love LOVE these brushes!

I love the long round. They keep an outstanding point and have a lot of springback!

I don't start a painting without having this brush ready to go. This brush applies paint beautifully; holds lots of water and paint and gives smooth application. Wish I had found it sooner.

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.
