Kolinsky travel watercolor brushes

Pros: 1. Beautiful sturdy brushes that hold paint well and are a joy to paint with. 2. They have great hand feel and comfortable weight to them. 3. They come in a nice sturdy beautiful leather pouch that makes them easy to transport and pack. I use them every time I paint whether traveling or not. 4. The barrel you insert the brush into is nice and wide so you don't run the risk of spreading the bristles. 5. They stay nice and secure when opened since they screw together as opposed to slip on. 6. They paint so smooth and clean. 7. The tip stays nice and sharp as well. 8. Fantastic value for the quality. Cons: NONE! I cannot speak to the professional quality of them as I am an intermediate watercolor painter and do not own super expensive brushes but I have used them almost daily since I purchased them and have had nothing but satisfaction for with these brushes. They really helped step up my game once I started using them. I wish there was a set of detail brushes like these available. I absolutely love painting with these brushes. Love them so much I bought two more sets with different size brushes!

This works great for my travel. I mainly used it for water coloring. The piece felt great. The bristle don't feel cheap or bad. I love the size of the brushes.

Been using them now when I travel for a few months and they have held up pretty good. I do find the shed VERY little and I am rough on my brushes, so I’m impressed with how well they are made.

Decent quality travel brush set. I doubt the brush hairs are synthetic as suggested by several other reviewers. The hairs look and perform like natural hair or perhaps a synthetic and natural hair blend. They seem far too soft and absorbent to be pure synthetic The brushes hold a good amount of water and have decent snap. My main complaint is that the brush hairs are a bit uneven. So although they do hold a good point when wet, don’t expect the type of performance you’d get from a higher end sable. At this low price, I didn’t expect high performance brushes. The case is nice but it doesn’t seem like genuine leather, as advertised. Feels more like synthetic leather. Also, the brushes have air holes at the ends of the handles, so that the hairs can dry out if you cap them when they’re still wet, which prevents damage to the brush. Overall, a very attractive and functional travel brush set at an affordable price

Great travel watercolor brushes. Best for loose abstract painting. They did shed a bit even after I followed the insurer instructions for prepping before painting. They hold a good deal of loaded paint and water, they come to a nice thin point for brush work. They seem to be well made with beautiful wood base and a very sturdy well crafted steel bezel and cap. The vinyl travel case is well made not cheap and easy to pack up for a plain air painting (plein air- stupid voice text) I wouldn’t use them for paintings larger than 8x10 nor for commissions compositions. But they are fun for personal use.

Good brushes. Easy to assemble. Works well

Nice for on the go creations. Easy to pack. Quality item

Very cute and nice to work with. Glad I bought them

Son unos pinceles finos, pero les falta el acabado finos. Aunque se pinta bien y no suelta pelo, el abanico que forma el pincel no es uniforme.

A good size selection to cover general field watercolour painting. Nice real leather wallet and well made brushes. The set could easily pop into a shirt pocket! Recommended

I fly for work. These are so so great for travelling with my watercolour paints. The caps screw on so they’re not loose trying to paint, and stay tight for travel. The case is tiny. A great selection of brushes for what I like to paint. They feel really nice, like luxury. Yes, there’s a little shedding, but I can live with that for the price point. If you’re looking to upgrade from cheap synthetic brushes, this brand is a good step for beginners/intermediates. Now my carry on bag has a reduction in size for my paint supplies.

I purchased this brush set primarily for my travels, as I enjoy drawing and sketching on the go. Overall, I'm impressed with the quality of three out of the four brushes in the set. They perform admirably, providing precise lines and smooth strokes, making them perfect companions for my artistic adventures. However, I encountered an issue with the fourth brush. Despite its promising design, the portion that screws into the brush doesn't stay in place as it should. This flaw becomes particularly problematic when I'm storing the brush away; it simply won't screw securely. Consequently, this brush's functionality is severely compromised, and it fails to meet the standards set by the rest of the set. While I appreciate the functionality of the majority of the brushes, the inconsistency in quality is disappointing. I hope the manufacturer addresses this issue to ensure that future buyers can enjoy a consistent and reliable product. In the meantime, I'll be contacting the seller to seek a resolution for the faulty brush.

it's super cute! so much smaller than i thought it was, but i love it, looks like good quality and it's just perfect for travel
