Winsor & Newton 5301002 Cotman Water Colour Series 111 Short Handle Synthetic Brush - Round #2

Great for details!

More expensive than the brushes that I initially bought for my (revived, since retirement) model building hobby - but they are worth the price. Paint (specifically acrylic) is absorbed and distributed far more evenly than the cheaper brushes. No loss of bristles and they take a fair bit of punishment - so last much longer than the cheaper brushes. Thus, ultimately, better value and less frustration from streaked application.

I’m just starting out on my painting adventures and this size was recommended for a project I will try out. Not yet used but it complements my collection of brushes, feels good o hold and I can see that it will make very fine details.

Unfortunately this brush came with the tips of the hairs bent in an angle so that it cannot form a point. It's either a used (and abused) item or a defective one bought cheaply and sold for increased profits. In any case I will be returning this item shortly. Edit: I initiated a refund and was offered a replacement which I accepted. The replacement arrived today, but I won't have the chance to take it in hand until tomorrow. So far, that's excellent. Thank you to W&N. Edit 2: I finally had the time to look at the replacement brush (though not paint with it). This time it looks fine, no bent hairs and it seems capable of holding a point. Increasing rating to five stars for excellent service.

Always my favourite paint brush. Holds lots of paint.

nice product, lovely quality. Using it for watercolour painting. Good prompt delivery.

I've been using Windsor and Newton for 40 years and they used to be beyond compare. My recent purchases don't measure upwith the standards of previous years, I still have some from that period to compare with. The point of fine brushes don't last whilst working and don't carry and wick paint away as evenly as before. Ok I suppose, but not worth the premium over some Chinese brushes.

Good.

I love this brush, it is great for precision for narrow stems while painting leaves, etc. great quality

I purchased 3 sizes and all work as intended and I am happy with the watercolour results. Sadly, one arrived snapped in two but was this was quickly rectified by Amazon who instantly refunded. Excellent customer service was received. Thanks Amazon team!!

Like it. use it a lot.

Great brushes for learning! Sturdy, quality, soft brushes with some snap and good water water control.

Muito bom o pincel. Otimizou meu trabalho. Recomendo
