Silver Brush Limited3000S-2 Black Velvet Round Paintbrush for Watercolor, Gouache, Inks, & Dyes, Size 2, Short Handle

I really like the way this brush holds its shape a Carrie’s a nice amount of water and paint.

Received much quicker than expected. Love the brushes

Wife uses this brand for her paintings and loves the fine point on this brush, sturdy enough to hold a shape but still very flexible. She also loves the variety of lines and shapes she can create with this brush, and loves how good this brush is at painting details. The bristles on these brushes are very good quality and unlike cheap brands they do not fall out. Came quickly and well packaged.

This is my second one. I love the quality. Holds paint really well. Worth the price

Great brush!

Nice quality, good point, and saturation. I can highly recommend this brush and this seller. A++

Until you use one you just can't understand why all the raves about them. These are very soft brushes compared to synthetic ones. So they "puff" up, carry the load of pigment and water in the belly of the brush but when you need it the needle point is there. because it is needle point. Sometimes you have to turn the brush to find it at the right angle, it carries a lot of water and dispenses the mix so evenly, it is hard to describe. You have probably seen some uneven strokes with synthetics, specially wet on dry. The color has some blotchy parts while you still drag the brush, as if you were changing the mix. That doesn't happen with these brushes. The fact that they don't hold the shape and they sort of shapeshift while painting is a plus for me, because having a brush that always hold the shape of the needle point can be detrimental. What happens when you make a turn, following a curve? There it is, a point on the paper... So I love them for that. When I need the fine point is there! Just turn the brush while reloading.. is magic. It is such a personal preference that is hard to tell which one is right for you. When I need very small details or longer lines, i might reach sometimes for synthetic, because I can feel the feedback of the brush on the paper and paint better. I love these brushes, have them from 2 to 12 in the rounds and a 3/4 oval which pretty much can take place of a flat for washes anytime. Some pigments will stick to these brushes like crazy and when I use those (phtalos, some quinacridones, payne's grey)I use soapy water (dove soap bar) in my first cleanse bucket while painting. These are beautiful brushes, I tried once a kolinsky and I just couldn't justify the price when I can use these.

This has a nice point, excellent spring, and holds a good amount of paint and water. I have several brushes from this line and like them all. This small one is especially good for floral details.
