One of my favorite watercolor brushes!
Neptune is one of my favorites. They’re affordable and really great, especially for beginners who want to upgrade their brushes but, not break the bank. They’re definitely worth a try. They are “thirsty” brushes. Hold a good amount of water and also pigment. Mine game with plastic cover, I saw another review that didn’t come with cover and the bristles were funky. Mine came perfectly without any issues. 10 out of 10 would recommend!

I liked this brush a lot. I usually use Silver brushes for watercolor, but opted to try these out. It held a good deal of water. I was also able to get very crisp lines along with wider washes. The brush is uniform, without little random hairs sticking out anywhere. It is a good brush. I’d definitely buy a Princeton Neptune brush again. (Picture was made with one size 10 round brush.)
