Set 3 Watercolor Brushes - N.8,10,12 Round Pointed Synthetic Hair Set #1 Joseph Zbukvic Perla Series Professional Handmade in Barcelona

Tried my new brushes today- the sizes,8,10 and 12, make a good selection. I tried a wash, lifting paint, pulling it, dry brush, wet in wet and generally everything I could think of, and did some very quick hollyhocks (not yet finished). I found them well balanced, nice to work with, offering good control. The pthalo blue did leave a slight stain on the white fibres (but it also stains my white palette) despite generous helpings of brush cleaner, but I didn't expect them to stay pristine white for all time. The size 10 is a versatile size for a travel brush. Interesting to find out how well they last, but they seem well made and after first use and thorough cleaning have returned to shape perfectly. They keep shape well while you are painting too, with no loose hairs. I'm very pleased with them and will be interested to see how they hold up over time.

As described

...but excellent for watercolours. These are a favourite brush of mine; seem to last for ages too.

what I liked the most about these synthetic brushes is their ability to retain sharp point all the time.

These are rather good for the price They don't hold masses of water... But they have a spring and firmness, ideal for detail and neatness I am rather in favour

My absolute favourite brushes when I want more precision in my lines. For me, these are fab for watercolour and gouache - even lettering with watercolour, as the points are so fine, even the biggest brush here gives me neat edges. I had used fine Kolinskys as I mistakenly thought they would benefit me most (as this is usually the recommendation for watercolour) but honestly, the rigidity and slight stiffness of these synthetic bristles are way better and easier for me to control in my style of painting. If you are looking for a delicate brush, this is not it. Buy a silver brush squirrel hair, or any kolinsky hair brush. If you are looking for a brush which keeps its shape even when wet, and holds thicker washes - even gouache - try these.

Best brushes ever !!

firm and easy to handle for details

One of the best watercolor brushes.
