Winsor & Newton Professional Watercolour Synthetic Brush, Rigger #1

I bought this brush on someone’s recommendation & was not disappointed. The bristles keep a nice point.

I love Princeton brushes and this one did not disappoint. The tip is excellent for small detailed work.

A nice pointy brush. I only took off a star because it is more difficult to maintain this point than my other synthetics. It holds the same amount of water as the Aqua Elite. After decades of painting in watercolor, I still consider myself an intermediate. Therefore I like to use brushes like this for painting exercises and sketches. Here is a pic of the brush (4th from the left) next to a couple of Princeton Aqua Elites and the Series 7 kolinskies.

This brush is probably fine if you buy it somewhere else, but Amazon just throws it in a box, and the manufacturer doesn't put it in any kind of packaging to protect it. I bought two - one came bent, the other is fine.

Good company, good brush. I was disappointed that it did not come with a protective plastic shield cover on the bristle end of the brush and was just thrown into the box loosely, at high risk for damage.

it is moderately soft, slightly elastic, pleasant to the touch. It’s a pity that the tip is not sharp enough, it doesn’t give fine lines.
