Description of 🎨 da Vinci Watercolor Series 498 Size 2 - Round Quill - Casaneo New Wave Synthetics - Vegan - Made in Germany: Premium Watercolor Brush for Artistic Perfection

Features a new "wavy" fiber developed by da Vinci that allows for high colour absorption and a soft feel while still coming to a perfect point or edge. Generously sized and hand shaped, its unique point allows for full strokes across the paper, while coming back to a perfect point. The Quill round is excellent for watercolor, gouache, acrylic, silk painting, calligraphy and ink and sketching. Casaneo is the favorite brush of the Urban Sketchers movement. Made in Germany, certified green manufacturing with sustainable wood handles from European forests.

Good brush but expensive for what it is

I was hoping for more from this brush. This is the most expensive brush I have, but it works just as well as other brushes that are half the price. I wanted the Dagger Brush to be able to use a thin tip and wide body to create interesting shapes, but it just seems to make a mess. Maybe I'm not good enough to use it.

Pros
  • acceptable
Cons
  • embarrassing

Gorgeous brush! in Quill Paintbrushes

I've been looking for the perfect brush for a long time - one that feels like an extension of my hand, holds up at the tip, has a large water capacity that doesn't spill all of it onto paper and feel right away smoothly on the paper. That's it! It even outperforms my expensive core sables. I have Casaneo #0, #2 and #4 nibs. Between these three I no longer need brushes and mostly use #0 and #2. I never thought synthetic would outperform a natural hairbrush until now. Now I don't know what to do…

Pros
  • Still Happy
Cons
  • Nothing

This is a regular water brush if you don't need a point.

I was excited to get these, especially since they were cheaper than some others I was looking at. However, they weren't worth the price. I received them in excellent condition with a good point. After I added water and brushed off the water paper, it was all over. The tip of the brush is fully curved and now stays at a 45-degree angle, while a few other hairs just stick out on the sides. Thinking maybe I just got a bad brush I ordered a second one. Exactly the same thing happened again. :( I…

Pros
  • Worth the money
Cons
  • The list will be long.

Super Brush is good for painting

I saw a group of people teaching watercolor with this kind of brush on YouTube and I wanted to try it. I was glad it was synthetic, not only because natural brushes are so expensive, but I like synthetic brushes in general. Anyone who paints with watercolor or ink should have a brush like this - it simply does a lot of things that other brushes can't do, above all they hold a lot of color and are extremely expressive. If you're serious about improving your skills, that's great. Addendum: A…

Pros
  • Art and Craft Supplies
Cons
  • Neutral

Just unbelievable! I can't believe this is a synthetic brush.

I have number 24 flat. This has got to be the best synthetic I've ever used. In search of the perfect synthetic hair that mimics real natural hair, there is no better solution than this brush. To some extent, it works better than its natural counterpart. Brushed hair feels the same as natural hair and many would be surprised if I told them otherwise. It contains so much water and color that it is amazing that it is a synthetic material. Unlike many other brush manufacturers, this brush is…

Pros
  • The pen is ideal for watercolour, gouache, acrylic, silk, calligraphy, ink and sketching
Cons
  • Not sure

Nice soft brush

This is a nice and very soft brush, ideal for watercolor. I was originally sent a size 8 but sent it back with no problem for the correct size I ordered. Lies comfortably in the hand. The price-performance ratio is quite comparable. Holds an excellent amount of water and paint. I have used it several times. . I really wanted a large round brush for different jobs and I gave it a go with this brush. My only complaint is about the tip. As expected, it fluffs up when it dries, most round brushes…

Pros
  • Large size and shape of the hand, its unique tip allows you to apply full strokes on paper and return to the ideal point
Cons
  • I'll write later

Bad point/advice, far from a perfect manufacturer answer.

I bought watercolor paints early on in college and while it wasn't what I was hoping for, I wasn't sure if it was "normal". for this brush, which is why I didn't come back. I decided it was my bad technique. After learning a little more and trying a few other brushes (including Jackson's Art's amazing "Raven" goose brush, which was 1/4 the price of this Casaneo), I realized that fake squirrel brushes don't behave that way should. They should be at least peninsular in shape when wet. Dry, many…

Pros
  • Made in Germany, eco-friendly production using eco-friendly wooden handles from European forests
Cons
  • So far so good
