5 Stars
Wonderful Brush!
This brush holds an incredible amount of water. I did a test on it to see how long of a line I could get out of it and for 1/4” wide line, I painted for 36”! The only thing about it is that it is not quite as stiff as I really like. I have another Princeton (velvet touch) that I prefer, but this one definitely comes in handy for certain paintings. The photo shows some practice strokes where I used both of my Princeton brushes.Great brush for the price!
