Princeton Best Synthetic Sable

Series 4050

Photos

Reviews

These excellent quality short handle brushes for the watercolor painter have the best point and spring of all Princeton synthetics.

The special blend of varying diameters of synthetic sable hair issues terrific spring. It looks just like genuine sable, and performs at a higher level than other synthetics.

The Princeton wash brush also features a rich, distinctive gold ferrule and marbleized red hardwood handle.

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.

™ Princeton is a trademark.

I bought one of these 6 years ago I think and use it constantly in oil painting to fan out glazes. I've even used it to apply varnish since it's so smooth. It's almost as good as new still!

Comments about Princeton Best Synthetic Sable Angular Flat Wash Series 4050AFW:

It just goes to show that whoever coined the phrase "you get what you pay for" was a Blick customer. I have been trying to learn wash technique for a while and had held out buying wash specific brushes. WOW what a difference when I picked up the Blick catalog and ordered wash brushes. I now feel like I am getting somewhere with my new attempts. Thanks Dick Blick...
