Princeton Brush Catalyst Polytip Short Handle Bristle Brush, Flat Shader, 10

I now have 3 of these polytip brushes from Princeton in different sizes and I love them! They were recommended by Elizabeth St. Hilaire for collages and that's exactly what I use them for. They're flexible but sturdy and can be cleaned easily.

Great brush. Puts on paint well.

I use this brush in watercolor for everything from swatching colors to creating loose petal shapes.

This is one FANTASTIC brush!

I love these brushes. My painting has improved and I have a lot more confidence since starting with these brushes. I mainly use acrylica heavy body paints and the brushes work wonderfully. My question is--Why do you not have sets of these brushes? I would be interested in sets as it would give me the chance to use some of the styles that I don't have. Michael Hicks

Excellent detail brushes for a water color masterpiece. The brush guide on the back of the package is super helpful for beginners like me to learn what each brush can do and shows me what additional brushes I need to purchase to achieve those looks. They wash up nicely from the water color paints. The package that it comes in doubles as a zip close pouch.

What a fabulous set! These are gorgeous brushes, with a really beasutful finish, and they feel very comfortabnle to handle. Each one seemed to perform well, the large flat brush holds a lot of paint, the fine line lives up to its name with a very fine line. DId not have any shedding from any of them, not even when cleaning after a thourough test. A great set that I would definintely buy on my own.

I love this set. It is lovely to look at and lovely to work with too. The bristles don't come off and they make painting such a pleasure. I love look of the handles with the ovals at the end and the shiny finish. The different sizes make it so I can try various brush strokes.

While I absolutely love this line & have nearly every brush in both long & short; the smaller ones lose their shape way too easily

Every time I use this brush at least 3 to 5 hairs shed… it's a shame because it's a great brush otherwise. I do not recommend this for varnishing or gesso at all.
