Princeton Brush Neptune Professional Brush Set

The bristles are soft and when wet are soppy. This softness allows the bristles to be splayed for texture strokes. The point is softly rounded. I use this line of brushes with the Princeton Aqua-Elite brushes that hold less water, have stiffer bristles, and a sharp point. These two lines of brushes compliment each other and work together on the same painting.

I purchased two brushes, Princeton Neptune size 4 and 8 round, and they work beautifully. They hold a lot of water and they allow me to make beautiful petals on florals. These were recommended by an artist I follow on UTube, Petals by Pryia. If you paint a lot of florals, I highly recommend the Princeton Neptune series brushes.

This is my go to quill brush! I have used it in my studio, plein air and when I am teaching. It holds water and pigment to cover large areas, yet a nice fine tip for details. The only drawback I find is that the wires that hold the plastic ferrule break quite easily. I know that this is because my handle swells, but when I am painting as much as I do each day, there is no time for it to dry out. Especially when I am competing at a plein air event.

Quality watercolor brush, versatile size with good water retention and paint pick-up; smooth execution and flow.

These brushes are indeed, very close to true squirrel hair. They are a wonderful alternative for anyone looking to avoid using animal products!

These Princeton Neptune brushes hold lots of water and slide softly across the paper.

Beautifully made, holds a lot of water for a synthetic, lovely point.

I love how much paint these brushes hold!

Princeton Neptune brushes are great. I use them for my art

These brushes work very well when painting. They are soft and handle feels good on the hand. The only thing I don't like it's that after washing them, the bristles have a few hairs that separate. I use them very gently and care for them and wash him accordingly, but still the bristle hair separate.
