PRINCETON NEPTUNE, Series P4750, Franse Wasmachine Gr. 4, korte steel

Beautiful brush

This is honestly such a majestic brush! It is quite thirsty though, the bristles can hold an amazing amount of water so I am not sure if I would recommend it for total beginners. If you are adventurous however and want to discover your technique I would totally recommend this brush. It retains the amount of water enough to cover an A4 piece of Aquarell paper, and has a very fine tip if dried and formed properly.

If you are trying to get a graded wash… and you can’t get it to look as perfect as you see everyone doing on the Internet. Then this is the brush you need to add to your collection.I’ve been intimidated to use a mop brush. But after taking a class and learning how to get a graded wash by using a mop brush, my life has been changed forever.A lot of people have suggested getting a size 6. But I use smaller sketchbooks around the size of 8 x 8. I figured size 6 was a little overkill for me. So I got a size 4 and wow the amount of water this size 4 brush holds is incredible.I love Princeton brushes. The last forever, the great quality they’re totally worth the money. I typically use heritage series, but recently I have been using more of the Neptune. Because the brush is so soft and it is extremely similar to silver’s black velvet brushes. Just not as expensive.Had a few hairs fall off the brush. But sometimes that can be normal in the beginning if you haven’t washed it really good to get all of the soap stuff off. They put that stuff on the brush hairs to keep the shape during shipping. You have to run some warm water over the brush and it will all come out. I haven’t had any other issues and I absolutely am in love with this brush.

aquarelle, excellent produit, je recherchais un oinceau qui retient l'eau j'ai été choyé, je le recommande

This brush holds an insane amount of water. But it paints superbly. Smooth blends, and washes on any good quality paper and i can cover an entire A5 in one good dip!Well worth the money!
