Great brush for the price!
Great brush for the price!
This brush holds tons of water and pigment and if your brush isn't fully loaded you can get a sharp point. That said, if you're a noob or don't have a good handle on water control I would give this line a pass until you have a better grasp on water control as this brush is quite soft with very little snap or bounce. If you smoosh it to one side it will stay smooshed, it won't bounce back to the original shape. It also isn't the best for detail because of that reason, so it won't make a good "all-rounder" brush. I would think it would be hard to paint an entire piece with this one brush.
That said, this is a really nice brush and I'm glad I bought it. The build quality is excellent and it will last forever if you take good care of it.
If I didn't already own a set of the Mimik Squirrel (grey handled) I would definitely buy more round Neptunes. I do think I'll purchase a couple of their Aquarelle flats in 3/4 inch and 1 inch to complete my set of synthetic squirrel brushes.
This brush looks pretty and feels good in the hand, better than my Mimiks. It's well balanced and easy to hold no matter if you're close to the ferrule or back on the handle. This is a great little brush!
