Cosmotop Spin Quill is a "revolutionary" brush from Da Vinci that features a "dancing tip"!

Spin brushes hold more water than any other synthetic. These brushes mimic the performance of natural hair with an energetic spring, offering the watercolorist extremely long length out of the brush.

Note — Brush sizes are not standardized. The length and width of a brush of a given shape and size varies considerably by manufacturer. Since fine art brushes are handmade, expect some variation even among brushes from a given manufacturer.

Delighful watercolor brush

Pros

Best Uses

Comments about Da Vinci Brushes Da Vinci Cosmotop Spin Brushes:

I use the Cosmotop round wash brush. I bought the size 24, as I prefer a large brush for most paintings. I use it for watermedia of all kinds, on watercolor paper or illustration board.

What I like: holds it shape, easy to clean, flexible, creates even washes. Also, it forms a good point that works perfectly for drawing with ink or any liquid form of paint. I rarely need a small brush for details, as this one handles them so well (with some practice). Durability is great: this brush does not shed bristles or show any signs of wear even after several years of frequent use.

There is nothing I dislike. Excellent product.

Cosmotop is Good Quality

Comments about Da Vinci Brushes Da Vinci Cosmotop Spin Brushes:

I first used these brushes after reading about them in a watercolor book. I tried the #8 and loved it. However I lent it to one of my watercolor students and it was never returned, so I have purchased another one. It is a bit pricey but I will probably get a larger one in the future.

These brushes are a pleasure to work with. I bought one Da Vinci mixed hair brush that was expensive and I like these spin brushes better.
