ARTEGRIAWatercolor Brush Set, Sizes 2 and 6, Professional Round Quill Mop Brushes with Fine Tips, Soft Synthetic Squirrel Bristles, Short Handles

Great for the price. They hold water and paint well. Points are nice and hold shape great. The sizes are good for floral paintings. No shedding and they clean easily. They are sturdy and beautifully made.

These brushes are just wonderful. I’ve had a set of smaller Dugato quills for years and just starting using them more frequently. I wasn’t thrilled with them so went hunting for another set. So glad I landed on this set. The ends come to a very fine tip and the bellies hold plenty of pigment. I’m so excited to really get going with them tomorrow! Edited: These two brushes can do the work of about 15 other favorite brushes combined. They come to such a beautiful point and hold so much paint that I was able to do these two tiny bushes with one dip in pigment. Highly recommend 🎉

Artegria customer service is awesome. Brush head got detached after using second time, but they send me a replacement promptly. Overall brush quality, design and water retention is good. I like using this brush.

I wanted to try this type of watercolor brush and these are more affordable than some others. There is a learning curve ! The brushes hold a ton of water. Sometimes too much water. I have not gotten comfortable using them and getting the result I want yet but that is not the fault of the brushes. They are sturdy. Not shedding any hairs and clean up easily. The 2 different sizes in this package are a good choice. They are worth trying for anyone interested in this type of brush.

I’ve wanted to try quills for a while. When I saw an artist I like post a very favorable review….that encouraged me to give these a try.They are great! For me, it’s everything I love about a round watercolor brush times ten! The brush holds so much paint, yet keeps a point, making fine lines like I’ve never seen before. I’ve been painting a little more than a year, and have found my go-to’s over time. These are now part of that handful of favorite utility brushes that are used in almost every painting.I’m very pleased with the two sizes. The larger one is a great replacement for a 10 or 12 round. The smaller replaces my 6 or 8 round.This painting was done almost entirely with the quills. I’m in my second year of painting and the painting is from my own reference photo.There are still places that I pull out my rounds, but it’s so much easier to continue painting with the reservoirs in these quills. Rounds have a finite width, and are still my choice in small areas.These quills are work horses!

Why did I wait so long to use Mops (Quills) Using wide flats, mostly synthetic sable before These seem to hold more water, and because of the soft synthetic squirrel there is an ease of use in being able to put paint over dry watercolor without as much disturbance in below layers. I find that the points for a large brush are very fine ( especially on the smaller of the two) but you do need very sensitive control of pressure, since the brushes are so soft. These are a great value and as all Quills take a little learning, since they hold a lot of water, and are very sensitive to pressure. The results are well worth it. Using them a lot.

Great brushes! Just what I wanted for watercolor. Hold lots of water and paint and gives great effects on backgrounds and washes! Buying another set today!

I was surprised by the quality of these brushes. I’ve been using them for watercolor. They hold shape well and haven’t been shedding.
