Perfect brush for watercolor
I LOVE this brush for water color! I’m a beginner and this brush alone is all I needed to learn the basics. It is very soft, holds a lot of water and does not shed.

Small size 8 but a good brush
I like this brush even though it seems small for a size 8. I have my Princeton aqua elite size 6 to the left and my silver brush black velvet size 4 to help compare. The bristles have a nice balance between softness and spring. The brush itself seems to hold a fair amount of pigment and water and doesn’t dump it all on the first stroke. The tip is not needle sharp, but it’s reasonable and easy to use. The price was reasonable as well, especially for the quality. All in all I really like this brush and would like to order more in bigger sizes.

Recommend this brush
I am newer to watercolor and this brush is amazing. It doesn't "mush" when you dip it in the water... holds a good shape so you can paint detail and not too large or too small to work with. It was recommended by The Art Sherpa. I use her on line courses and she is great at recommending good and reasonably priced products.

Not up to the mark
The brush arrived today and I am disappointed to see that the needle like point of a new round brush when you wet it in water is missing. By the condition of it, it seems like it has already been used fifty odd times. Quality of the bristles are good. Holds a good amount of water. But overall does not live up to the reputation of Raphael brushes. And for a size 12, pretty small brush. I have a Princeton Neptune round 12, which is almost more than twice comparing the size of this brush.

Great brush, but much smaller than expected.
This size 16 brush is about the same as size 10 in all of the other brands that I have. I'm including a picture to compare it with a Size 10 Silver Brush, Size 16 Silver Brush, and a Size 4 Raphael Quill for comparison. The Raphael Soft Aqua Size 16 Round is on the left. Otherwise, it's a very good brush, soft and springy. It holds a lot of water and releases it evenly. The point is not exceedingly fine, but the belly of this brush is smooth and very usable for side-brush/dry brush techniques. It's an easy brush to use and may quickly become a favorite. Just be aware both the working end of the brush and the handle are on the small side.
