Princeton Paintbrush, Synthetic Gold Taklon, Brown, Set of 7

I don't really understand how these brushes can be so good for just under £12. Mind you I have only used them once, so they might still fall apart. But buying a set of 7 brushes for this price...my expectations were a LOT lower than what they are turning out to be...very pleasantly surprised!

Arrived on time and packaged nicely, I'm yet to use them but they feel nice and there are no problems with the hairs falling out.

The media could not be loaded.  Qualidade mediana, são bonitos.o cabo é bem fino e muito curto mas com uma base de apoio que torna usavel. As cerdas são de qualidade bem baixa.Comprei na promoção então valeu, ele no valor original não vale a pena.É um produto de mediano para baixo.

The media could not be loaded.  This is a great set for watercolour beginners like me. Since I am not keen yet to buy the expensive ones, e.g. Princeton’s higher end brushes like the Neptune or Heritage line, this is really a good set to start with considering the price point. I think once I master my strokes and techniques, I will consider buying the higher end ones. 😊The only challenge with this brush is the soft hair - if you are used to snappy type of brush you might find it a bit challenging to control certain brush strokes.

These brushes have held up very nicely I use them alot and they hold shape and are so nice to paint with.

Sadly three of the brushes in both packs I purchased broke within a week of use. I love Princeton brushes, but this particular set didn't cut the mustard for me.

I do like these brushes I would not say that I love them (i'm pretty picky). For a beginning watercolor artist or someone that doesn't have a lot of funds to invest, this is going to be a great product to start out with. I won't use natural hair brushes anyway because I'm just not on board with that. However they still need to be a good quality brush. I would not consider these professional artist quality but certainly better than most budget value brush. Princetons are a good quality brush. And if you can achieve the look you want using a budget brush over a more expensive brush then why spend a lot of money. I can't speak to other mediums as I primarily do mixed media with watercolor and colored pencil. So I'm afraid I won't be much help there.They hold quite a bit of water which is great but not so much if you are a beginner to get frustrated with the medium. I like that the handles have a little bit of texture to them its very slight but helps reduce slipage if you struggle with that. Kids in particular would probably really like that. I think as a first set for the money you can't beat these with a stick. I placed an image down below to show what kind of strokes you can get with each brush in this set. Hopefully that will help you. I like that its a variety of brushes. You will most likely need some bigger rounds, as the rounds in this set are pretty small.
