Product Description

More than 25 years ago, Princeton introduced its first synthetic sable brush to artists. These high-quality, short handle brushes have the best point and spring of all Princeton synthetics, making them perfect for watercolor painting. Our brushes are designed to drink gulps of water, paint supple strokes and retain their sharp point and crisp edge. The brush filament is made using varying diameters of synthetic sable fiber for terrific spring, enhanced color-holding capacity and a natural snap. This collection features an extensive range of shapes and sizes so you can paint everything from long, thin lines to intricate details to large areas with ease. Heritage artist brushes are more affordable than genuine sable and more durable and dependable than most synthetics hair brushes.

Good brush overall, in general the 4050 series is something I would recommend.

This Princeton Heritage Series 4050 Round 12 is very similar to a Kolinsky. It's a high quality brush for far less money than a natural hair Kolinsky. It's soft, holds water and paint, springs back nicely, and keeps a pointy tip.

You used to be able to buy a genuine sable for a fair price but now most brushes are synthetic. That being said, the brush is decent. I still prefer my genuine grumbacher sable but it's wearing out. I wish Princeton would produce a genuine affordable sable. I'll still use this brush but I may try a different line next time.
