da Vinci Watercolor Series 5598 Casaneo Paint Brush, Round New Wave Synthetics, Size 8

An excellent synthetic brush. So soft and responsive. This is a little less springy than your typical synthetic. It’s more like a squirrel, but comes back to a point just fine. I’ll be buying more sizes, because it’s such a good brush.

A zero star would be a more accurate review. Bought this brush at the beginning of learning watercolor. Literally have never been able to use it because its so horrible. No point, all hairs facing different directions, only moves in one big messy clump....even soaking wet it cannot form a point let alone keep one. A dollar store brush has been better than this for $22.00

The delivery was 5 star. I like the soft bristles on this brush and it holds a lot of water. The size 8 is comparable to the Escoda size 10 and has a fat handle. After using this brush, I noticed that it does not come back to a point, and that is why I only gave it 3 stars. It makes nice dry brush marks. At this time, I prefer the Escoda and Silver Brush Limited Golden Natural.

Great brush for watercolor.

Good quality, just not sure if the price justify how much is used for, only good for washes but it splatters a lot around the paper

Waste of my money! Have used about 4 times and picked it up to paint with tonight and the handle paint coating chipped off in my hand. The painted brush handle is cracking off in pieces. What a piece of doo-doo. Would love my $$ back so I can buy a quality brush!

On the one hand, I like the beveled grip a lot... But on the other hand, I despise the snap back. Or more accurately, the lack of snap -- this is the most flaccid brush I've ever used. I should take a picture of the the bristles at a 45 degree angle. It's not usable.
