I had seen these brushes used by other watercolorists, and they raved about them. I thought I would give them a try, I’m glad I did! For a reasonably (NOT CHEAP) priced synthetic brush, I feel, they are comparable to pricier brushes, these are great! ! They hold more than adequate amount of water. Have a soft not stiff feel. Snap back to a sharp precise point. Have some kind of soft coating on the handle, not varnished wood or bare wood, which feels great in my arthritic hands. I just received and tried these so I can’t vouch for longevity yet, but right now I love them. I purchased size #6, #4, #2, and #1 Princeton Aqua Elite rounds. I paint a lot of florals that require detailed and controlled brush strokes, these do exactly that! I WILL be purchasing this line in their detail sizes. LOVE them!

I love these Princeton aqua elite brushes. I own 5 of them now. They hold a good amount of paint in the belly of the brush yet make a thin line. It was packaged okay, loose with another item but the protective sleeve was in place.

This brush arrived with split ends and is essentially useless for anything but dry-brushing. It doesn't help that the brush arrived without the protective tubing that most brushes are shipped with. I would not order this again.

This brush was split and just thrown in a bag. Not even in a small ziplock
