Better than I thought they might be, great value. Brushes do well!

Transon 8pcs Round Watercolor Paint Brush Set Goat Hair for Watercolors,Acrylics,Inks,Gouache,Oil and Tempera (on sale for $9.99 USA) Reviewed March 15, 2025 I don’t know if the set I got is the same one as those with terrible reviews, but I must have gotten the good batch because this set is excellent! I even compared the size 4 with my two of my best Princeton brushes, Velvetouch and Aqua Elite. The Aqua Elite is of course in a class of its own and remains my favorite but it’s also more expensive and one brush can buy you one set of the Transon. I tested them out with watercolor paints. Ok here’s the breakdown: 1. No shedding even after shaking the brushes in water to rinse off the gum/glue protecting the bristles. 2. Pointy. Each brush has a good point, and even the size 16 can create fine lines! (See bottom of photo) 3. The brushes have a good snap, meaning they return to their original shape unlike squirrel hair or other natural animal hair that are very soft. Very important: the bristles return to their original point - that can only mean they bristles were properly formed. Again, see photo. 4. They are not the thirstiest brushes, like the Princeton Neptune, but it’s just the right kind of water volume, especially for detail work. The larges sizes have big “bellies”’and they do hold a lot of water - perfect for washes or for fine, long lines like reeds, branches, ocean waves, trees, etc. 5. Since I haven’t used them over time, I don’t know yet how long they will keep their points or if they will start shedding after a while. 6. If you receive anything less than what I described, then it’s not the same batch and you are either getting a fake set or they are a dud.

Very soft and easy to use. It holds both water and paint and comes in a variety of sizes

Decent quality but not professional quality brush but for the price it is a great deal. Good for beginners.

Great for water color painting

Great for the price. Won’t last forever though.

Lives up to its promises.

These brushes work great. As a newbie to watercolor, I found th se were a great starter set that doesn't break the bank. The bristles have a great shape, hold tons of water, and I found that I was wasting less paint than my super cheap brushes - my cleaning water had very little color to it! You also get a nice variety of sizes with this pack. I can't speak to longevity, but I believe these will hold up well for a long time.

Bons pinceaux pour un coût moindre, très souples, se remettent bien en place.

Good shape soft and good for fine detail. I m a beginner and use these all the time. Synthetic too so no animals hurt like in the sable or squirrel brushes. I love them much better than my original cheaper ones they hold the paint well . I’d buy them again

its a ok kind product, good for beginners and armature artist

Pinsel heute angekommen und sofort ausprobiert. Nehmen wenig Wasser und Farbe auf und verliert zudem Haare, die dann auf dem Blatt kleben. Leider nicht zu empfehlen.

I was a bit sceptical when I ordered them but once I opened the pack and took one of the brushes in my hand, I realised how good the quality is and when I used it I was floored by the performance. These brushes hold good amount of water and they hold good shape through out the stroke. Excellent for water color as well and oil painting. I highly recommend this to anyone.
