Sable Travel Watercolor Brushes, Fuumuui 4pcs Kolinsky Sable Watercolor Travel Brushes with Leather Pouch - Fine Point Rounds Dagger Flat for Watercolor Gouache Ink Painting

I first purchased the Kolinsky Sable Watercolor Travel 4 Brush set with the wood shafts that contain a Liner, Pointed Round, Flat, Cat's Tongue Oval Wash brushes and loved them so much I came back and purchased these two sets. These stand up to the quality of the first set perfectly.Pros:1. Beautiful sturdy brushes that hold paint well and are a joy to paint with.2. They have great hand feel and comfortable weight to them.3. They come in a nice sturdy beautiful leather pouch that makes them easy to transport and pack. I use them every time I paint whether traveling or not.4. The barrel you insert the brush into is nice and wide so you don't run the risk of spreading the bristles.5. They stay nice and secure when opened since they screw together as opposed to slip on.6. They paint so smooth and clean.7. The tip stays nice and sharp as well.8. Fantastic value for the quality.Cons:NONE!I cannot speak to the professional quality of them as I am an intermediate watercolor painter and do not own super expensive brushes but I have used them almost daily since I purchased them and have had nothing but satisfaction for with these brushes. They really helped step up my game once I started using them. I wish there was a set of detail brushes like these available.I absolutely love painting with these brushes. I would love to see a set of larger round brush sizes as well as a set detail brushes available.

I often to paint on the go (coffee shop, on vacation) so I’ve been trying to get a collection of travel brushes together to keep in my “painting to go” bag so I don’t have to pack up my regular brushes up every time.Of the 4 sets I have purchased, this set is the nicest/well made.1. Solid construction meaning no loose ferrules and no hairs falling out when I paint.2. Screw on handles vs snap on makes the handle more secure. No wobbles!3. Beautiful to look at. Yes. I care. Haha4. These quill-style squirrel hair brushes are soft, hold lots of water and come to a perfect fine point for delicate lines. Yum! So fun.

I love the Fuumuui brushes! These brushes are small, but they do the job very nicely! They are kolinsky Sable natural brushes, good quality and I love the variety of the shapes they have. I'm began friendly ... But, I buy these because of the shapes.

One of the brushes was completely loose from its metal connector.

Very nice travel squirrel watercolor brushes- I got the 3 piece squirrel mop set. I have only had the chance to briefly try them, but so far they seem great. Very good water/pigment holding, handle feels nicely weighted and handle design oof screw top for travel with air hole is very good. I'm planning a plein air trip soon and will be taking these brushes.

I purchased these brushes on a whim; they came up in my search for synthetic Kolinsky watercolor brushes. For the price I was a bit skeptical, but since I could return them if they didn’t meet my standards, I took a chance. I also purchased another set, same brand, that were just regular short-handled watercolor brushes.At first, when I started using them, I worried a bit because they were shedding. Thankfully the shedding stopped.These brushes arrived on July 12 and I’ve used them every day since! They hold a tremendous amount of water/pigment, have great snap, and are capable of creating fine lines. I love both sets, but tend to use the travel brushes more because I like the weight and feel of them!Hot tip: do NOT attempt to cap the travel brushes when dry, it won’t work because they are fluffy. For full transparency, it took me a sec to figure out how to re-cap them…I discovered there is a small hole in the cap tip. To re-cap them, simply dip them in clean water, roll them on a paper towel (or use your fingers) to a point and place them in the tube! Voila!! Your travel brushes are good to go and there is no damage to the bristles.Recently I took a trip to the beach and took the 4-piece travel set with me. I was able to paint any and everything I wanted with just 4 brushes! I’d love to add a small liner brush for super tiny details; maybe they have one I didn’t see?In short, I have been so thoroughly impressed with these brushes! I’m always searching for “the” best brushes for watercolor, and I have quite the collection now! I find myself reaching for these 9 out of 10 times. For the price, I’d say these brushes are a steal! I have another synthetic Kolinsky brush that cost the same price I paid for the travel set and, in my opinion, the Fuumuuis put it to shame.Take a chance, buy the brushes, I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

I have a soft spot for these cheaper Chinese travel brushes and I particularly like the cheaper sables by Fuumuui for Gouache and I don't have to worry about babying them since they are easy to replace. I was intrigued by this set since the moment I saw it since I've been enjoying painting with squirrel brushes lately. I was surprised to see Fuumuui didn't send these out for review to their usual YouTubers so I took a chance on these when they went on sale with scant reviews out there. Based on my first go with them, for what I paid these are really nice. They have a great point, they have the pliable feel of squirrel, and I like the balance of softness and control I get with them. The #12 in this set is a very nice big brush and I don't think I have a travel brush in my collection as big as this one. Great for washes in larger sketchbooks. They can't compete with my Isabey and DaVinci quills but they do spark a lot of joy (for the record I think they are the best Fuumuui brushes I've used ... also having a set of travel sables and travel nylon synthetics)
