Review: My favorite brush from the Princeton Aqua Elite series & current fave overall! - I have quickly fallen in love with the Princeton Aqua Elite series of synthetic Kolinsky watercolor brushes, since I started using them this spring. I like them because they are durable, well-made brushes that offer great paint load, springy responsiveness and a fine point that makes clean edges much easier. This size 6 quill is my favorite! It holds a ton of paint and distributes it onto the paper evenly, which is equally important. I love how long I can paint with it before I need to reload my brush. It's fantastic for wet-in-wet techniques, but works equally well wet-on-dry. The fine tip allows me to create broad strokes and fine lines with the same brush, so I don't have to change brushes as often. I do still tend to use multiple brushes in my illustration work, but being able to do more work with a single brush is greatly appreciated. One thing to note is that Princeton only offers this quill mop in a size 6.
Review: Princeton Aqua Elite , Quill - It comes only in one size. I’m a beginner. If you use this brush with a nice watercolor paper no one will notice that you are a beginner! I poste this photo on my IG. It’s IG-worthy painting, I think. I don’t post reviews unless I believe it’s good. It holds a lot of water so detailed painting doesn’t work as much. You will need a smaller brush for those. I was able to finish painting the whole rose for less than 5 minutes, including waiting for it to dry. I am not very patient when it comes to waiting but this brush didn’t disappoint. For $20+ you won’t be disappointed. It’s really well-made. No hair coming off and it came with bristle protection when I got it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great watercolor Brush
*by R***G on April 9, 2021*

I started years ago with the Princeton Neptune series and I still use them. They are great watercolor brushes that have heavy quality wood handles, but the 4850 number 6 quill is all about the brush tip and the ability to hold color and water even though the handles are not as impressive. They are much more versatile as the tips are sharp and springy and hold their shape. These brushes are hard to find for me. I can find the quill 6, but no others. I love this brush and the shipping was fast and great. I will purchase from this vendor again. Very happy.
