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.
Chinese calligraphy brushes, ideal for Watercolours :)
I love painting landscapes, and recently saw other Artists using Calligraphy brushes, not to miss out I tried these :)
Two fast trial sketches below, I love how the paint flows, these brushes are an absolute joy to use, and I look forward to painting with them.
Don't tell everyone, it's our little secret :)
This set of Brushes had me guessing what can they do and what are they for?
When testing brushes I dive straight in, brush, paint, paper no idea lol
I love to fill the brush with paint and see how the brush moves and lays down paint.
I have always loved Chinese paintings of Bamboo they fascinate me, I love the flow and grace of them, unlike my test brush test. These brushes are what I been looking for as I can feel something magical when using them.
Of course I done a little mountain Scape, as I love mountains and I loved the effects the brush produced.
After using them for the first time, I know that it will not be the last, as I now want to paint bamboo
Thank you Fuumuui
Ps ignore the colours, I'm colourblind Red, Green Brown.
I am in love with these paints and have just recently ordered 2 more of their palettes
I am in love with these paints and have just recently ordered 2 more of their palettes. The consistency is dreamy and the colors lay down and blend beautifully. Only complaint is that it takes weeks to get them after ordering but it’s worth the wait.
I have several old palettes and non of them really worked for me, to be honest I cut them up to suit me.
When I received this palette, I was amazed at the quality of packing and the product itself.
Tripod mount, magnetic closing, add on strap if required.
It looks a million dollars!
But sold this for me was that there a steel strips in the bottom on the pan wells, this means all of my existing magnetised pans, fit securely inside.
Fuumuui even supplied a few extra magnetic strips in the kit.
This palette now lives in my studio, the next one will be tweaked for my Plein style of painting, yes you guessed, more magnets lol
Beautiful kit, a keepsake :)
The most beautiful Art Sketchbook, an instant favourite :)
When you open the box and remove sketchbook from it's packaging, you cannot believe just how beautiful it is, when you open the cover everything looks perfect and the paper is excellent, which is complimented by a single or dual tipped brush. My set has the single brush, with a point Artists love :)
One bonus is the business card holders are ideal for ACEO sized paper :)
This not only looks, good, it's makes you feel good :)
An ideal Gift for the Artist in the family, or a treat for yourself :)
I love the size of this journal, it fits easily into a jacket pocket or small shoulder bad :)
It compliments my Travel Foldable Watercolour palette.
It ideal with quick sketches or note making on the move :)
