I love these brushes

I bought and tested about 30 different brushes before I saw a rave review on an art site and decided to give it a try. I love these brushes. They're almost perfect, and I've collected them all as far as I can afford (I'm a bit confused about the handle on this brush, which is different from the wooden handles on most others, but that doesn't affect how I use the brush, it's more of a curiosity).

Pros
  • SQUARE WASH: Artists love using the 3008S square brush for backgrounds, foliage and landscapes. Sizes 1/4" through 1" have beveled acrylic scraper handles and sizes 1 1/4" through 1 1/2" have wooden handles.
Cons
  • Available in white only

Disappointed with the peeling of paint on paper

Try as I might, I couldn't even get a clean, full stroke on a 12-inch (NOT 140lb) piece of watercolor paper with this large brush when applying the fill. Even loaded as much as I could, no matter how wet it was, and at any speed, even crawling, and at any angle, it left dry brush marks by the time I was 2/3 of the way I didn't buy it Only suitable for dry brushing. For example I have and use six other Silver Brush Black Velvets so I was surprised and disappointed that I returned this one.

Pros
  • MATERIALS: Our Professional Black Velvet Watercolor Brushes are expertly crafted from a luxurious blend of squirrel hair and black synthetic fibers. Each brush has a short handle finished with exquisite black lacquer.
Cons
  • Available in black only

The brush is excellent; Packaging was not

Silver Black Velvet brushes are one of my favorites - the mix of squirrel and synthetic bristles holds a lot of water/paint and has a good "click" too. This 1/4 inch flat brush is a good little brush. However, the packaging was terrible - the brush arrived exactly as pictured, with the hair slanted and no head guard or hair holder to hold it. to the stain or edge. Luckily the brush itself is of such good quality that I fixed the brush as soon as it arrived (a little hair gel and used my fingers

Pros
  • BLACK VELVET: Our Black Velvet brushes were designed for watercolor painters and experienced crafters. Each Black Velvet brush is soft enough to add color without ruining previous layers, yet hard enough to lighten color if needed.
Cons
  • Vanishing
