These Golden Maple Travel Brush#4 #8 #12 Round is made of one of the most esteemed synthetic matters because of its comparability to sable hair. Credit goes to the perfect mixture of three different diameters and three lengths in the fibers, creating the same outcome as a brush made with natural hair. Brushes are handcrafted with the finest materials and a family's all-consuming expertise. Because of their enduring performance, all artists can enjoy the pleasure of generating works with them.

Review: Quality and useful - It has taken me a bit to get around to trying these travel brushes. OMG! I am completely impressed. For inexpensive travel brushes, they are as good as my more expensive Princeton watercolor brushes. They have a fantastic fine tip point, that keeps its shape and the bristles are flexible but spring back nicely. I love these! I have a couple sets for my travel kits. I have multiple travel watercolor kits for different travel situations and location. I can’t recommend these travel brushes enough. I added one set to my regular stash of brushes for everyday painting. They are my new favorite brushes.
Review: Great value for the money, and perfect for "travel". - I got these brushes for travel, but I have been using them at home almost exclusively since I got them. I'm very happy with the quality especially for the price. If you have used golden taclon brushes or something similar for watercolor, than you will know what to expect from these. They have a nice sharp point and hold a decent amount of water. They are not a replacement for a thirsty squirrel brush, but they are not meant to be. If you are looking for something to throw in your travel bag that takes up less space than a regular sized brush, and you don't want to worry about the bristles being destroyed... These are fantastic. There were a few hairs that stuck out on one of the brushes when I got them, but I just trimmed them off. Not sure if that is how you are supposed to handle that or not but it worked for me. If they were more expensive, or from a big name maker I would have been upset about the stray hairs, but as these were under $20... I'm quite happy. There is one brush that when assembled in just the right way has a bit of wiggle to it. All I have to do is twist the cap on the handle a bit and it becomes perfectly stable. Again, not bothersome enough to complain and the only reason I'm mentioning it is because I have seen some reviews where people have had trouble with this. I included a photo to show these brushes (silver handle) next to the Princeton Neptune brushes (copper handle) I purchased at the same time. The picture with the dots on it has been done with the Golden Maple brushes only, and the other 2 have been a combination of both brushes.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A paintbrush kit that's definitely worth the price
*by A***R on June 1, 2025*

The pouch these brushes come in doesn't take up a lot of space. If you're looking for travel brushes the size is debatable. They are compact until you twist the handle on. Then they become normal sized. For those who are comfortable working with a brush that is about the length of a water brush, this shouldn't be a problem. If you want to work loosely the extension gives you the longer stem. Quality is quite good, especially for the pricer. I've used a bunch of different sizes and brands. Quality and price do not always match. It's frustrating to have hairs separate from the ferule and wind up in the painting. So far no sign that will happen. The construction looks tight. They are synthetic so, although said to be for watercolor, they will work with acrylic or gouache, not impasto style.. Through the years illustrators and painters haven't always used one technique with watercolors. Watercolor paper, not indispensable. Wet into wet, etc. same thing. That said, these brushes will be useful for new and experienced painters. Experimenting with a variety of tools can't help but lead to new techniques, etc. No harm done.
