da Vinci Watercolor Series 498 Size 2 – Round Quill – Casaneo New Wave Synthetics – Vegan – Made in Germany

I saw a bunch of people doing instruction in watercolor on YouTube using this style of brush and wanted to try one. I was happy it was synthetic not only because the natural ones cost so much but I just like synthetic brushes in general. Anyone who paints with watercolor or ink should have one -they just do a lot of stuff other brushes don’t, in particular they hold a lot of paint and are extremely expressive. If you’re serious about getting better skills these are great. Addendum: A month down the line, I use the brush with some acrylic ink and forget to wash it. Then I pick it up and my heart sinks -I’ve ruined it. I decided to try and wash it, although I was sure it was ruined. Some hand soap and careful rubbing and it’s 100%. Amazing.
