This collection features synthetic watercolor brushes, primarily made with synthetic squirrel hair. These brush sets offer various shapes, including pointed rounds and flats, and come in multiple sizes. They provide excellent water and color flow for watercolor painting and other water-based mediums.
Synthetic watercolor brushes have come a long way in recent years. No longer just a budget alternative, today's high-quality synthetic fibers provide superior durability and ethical peace of mind while performing on par with natural hair. Whether you are a professional or looking for the best synthetic brushes for beginners, this collection offers the perfect balance of snap, flow, and value.
Understanding the Materials
Nylon (Golden Taklon): The exceptional "snap" (springiness) of these nylon watercolor brushes is well-known. You have complete control because they instantly revert to their original shape. They are perfect for controlled glazing, botanical painting, and fine details.
Synthetic Squirrel: Synthetic squirrel brushes hold a lot of water and pigment and are made to resemble soft, natural hair. They are softer than nylon, making them perfect for loose washes, bold strokes, and covering large areas of watercolor paper.
Why Choose Synthetic?
Durability: Synthetic hair watercolor brushes are tougher than natural hair. They resist wear on rough paper and are less likely to break.
Versatility: Unlike delicate sables, high-quality synthetics work beautifully with acrylics, gouache, and inks without damage.
Cruelty-Free: All brushes in this collection are 100% Cruelty-free, offering a guilt-free creative experience.
Quick Buying Tips
For Details: Select a Round or Rigger brush with nylon fibers for sharp points.
For Washes: Choose a synthetic squirrel Mop or oval brush.
Q: What is The Difference Between Nylon and Synthetic Squirrel?
A: Nylon watercolor brushes are springier and hold a sharp point for details. Synthetic squirrel fibers are softer and hold more water, making them better for loose washes and filling backgrounds.
Q: How Do I Clean Synthetic Brushes?
A: Rinse them in cool water with mild soap. Synthetics clean up faster than natural hair. Always reshape the tip with your fingers and lay them flat to dry to maintain their shape.

Thoroughly enjoying this portable palette set
Thoroughly enjoying this portable palette set. The only thing I have added is a small sponge to dab my brush and a larger clip to hold my watercolor book.

Love the colour range
Love the colour range. Not your usual set of colours, there are the classics of course, but the inclusion of a couple of special colours is brilliant, more creativity to be had from these lovely creamy easy to activate colours.

They are just adorable to use.
Lovely colours!
Started a small painting of a sparrow and they are just adorable to use, so creamy, easy to activate and while I had to add other colours to complete the piece (from another set I also purchased), it was a pleasure using these lovely warm tones across the piece.
I look forward to working with them in more serious pieces in my sketchbooks, but I will use better paper next time.

These Creamora watercolors in Dreamy Macaron are really a dream. They are so easy and comfortable to use, and I love the results I get. The colors are beautiful.
