## Description

Review: Nice brushes! Really Convenient - Really convenient tool to have. You can clean the brush easier, you can add water to your paints, and you can bring them anywhere because of its size. I've had a brush like this before and it was really flexible with the water. The water in these brushes take a second before coming out and after that there's no issue. Maybe it's just my imagination.
Review: Pentel is still the most reliable easily accessible water brush in the US - I caveat this because there are great water brushes in Japan (Where pentel is from anyway!) But I have reliably used my old pentel water brush set from 10 years ago and they still work great. I bought this new set to gift to friends because the reliability, brush tip retention (even after years of regular use) has been fantastic. I’ve tried the random Chinese brands before and their tips splay after a few uses, sometimes after 1 and while my old aquashes did clog after I beat them up by filling them with my own ink concoctions, they could be cleaned out and still useful as dry brushes. I highly recommend pentel and if you’re getting water brushes, don’t skimp out. These are 100% worth every penny.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Nice!!
*by S***H on June 26, 2016*

Extraordinary brush set! I am just starting out with watercolors, and these are fabulous brushes. They hold a tip quite nicely, even after vigorous washing and painting. The brushes seem to be made with a quality synthetic material. Oddly, when my brushes first arrived, they came clear but with an oily feel to the brushes. Perhaps this was to help the brushes keep their tips. Anyways, I find that I am able to get a nice variety of strokes by only using these three brushes. The smallest brush has a very fine tip and allows me to paint fine details. In terms of standard brush sizes, the small is about a size 1 round; the medium, a 4 round; and the large, about an 8 round. In general, these brushes are quite easy to use and clean. To transition between colors, I just squeeze out some water from the water tank and swish the brush tip on a napkin until the tip turns clear and no traces of the previous color are left (this takes hardly any time at all, maybe a few seconds). However, I wish I could deduct half a star for the water control. I find that it is sometimes difficult to control the opacity created with these brushes as the water comes out in fluctuating amounts. Thus, I find it difficult to get an even wash with these brushes, even the large brush (although, it's usually quite hard to achieve an even wash even with a quality synthetic or sable size 8 round). However, you can keep the water pressure under control most of the time with sufficient practice and by lightly gripping the brush. Lastly, I noticed that the tips can get stained from certain pigmented colors, such as Viridian Hue from W&N. However, this didn't prove to have any affects on colors used afterwards. Also, I noticed that if you squish the water tank too hard, water will leak from the ferrule. In conclusion, these brushes are quite nice and convenient for traveling. I would highly recommend them to beginning artists or lazy artists who don't want to wash their brushes properly :). However, I find the variating opacity too inconsistent for professional work. I hope you find my review useful! I've also attached some photos for size comparison to a standard pencil and my first 2 paintings with these brushes. -Kelly (a person who actually bought these brushes at full price)
