Review: Good quality - Good quality
Review: Best Brushes for Watercolor - I am new to watercolor, and read these brushes were really good. I have bout 5 so far and am loving them. They hold a ton of water. Not really a ton but more than other brushes I have tried. I look forward to trying more sizes and shapes of brushes from this brand. These brushes hold their shape well. They are a little pricey but worth it in my opinion. I highly recommend them. It is true that the right brush can make all the difference in your painting.
