Review: High-quality travel brushes at a great price - I have regular Princeton Aqua Elite brushes for watercolor painting and I wanted a set for painting while traveling, too. Rather than buy the Aqua Elite travel set (such that I'd end up doubling up on some sizes), I bought these instead to have a set of brushes with different characteristics. These Neptune brushes really do hold water well and the bristles feel luxurious. They don't have a lot of snap, so if that's your preference in a brush, you might really enjoy these (there is more snap with the Aqua Elite). With the caps on the back of the brush for painting, the balance feels nice (weighted slightly towards the back/end of the handle from the mid-point) and good for holding either closer to the ferrule or further back. The caps have holes at the end so that if you have to put your brush away wet (or want to do so to avoid bending back any bristles) the moisture won't be trapped inside. The copper/rose gold color is beautifully complimented by the wood-grain at the crimp. Oh yeah -- that's another thing I think is very elegant about these brushes -- there is no visible crimp on the ferrule, so the brushes are quite sleek in that respect. The range of sizes included in the set is quite versatile. A previous reviewer commented that the (vinyl) case doesn't fold over the brushes - that is true if the brush caps are off and placed on the backs of the brushes for painting. However, the case is meant to be closed when the brush caps are on, and it does so just fine. The elastics that hold the brushes are a bit tight at first, but elastic, being what it is, will loosen over time. (I have collapsible water cups with scalloped edges, so I use those as brush rests while paintine.) Finally, the best part was the price, which is substantially lower than MSRP and other art suppliers' online prices! For the price of just a little more than two individual travel brushes of this same type, I got four brushes and a case! That definitely makes this set a good value for the money.
Review: Princeton Watercolor Travel Brush Set - These brushes are stunning. They are travel brushes with a self-contained case of rose gold. The brushes themselves are high quality that retain their beautiful pointed tip after use. They are an absolute joy to paint with. I love the faux leather carrying case with magnetic closure too. I would definitely recommend these watercolor brushes.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the length of each brush with the cap on?**
A: The case is about 5 1/2” in length.  The #10 brush is about 4 1/2” long and the #8, #6, #4 brushes are 4” long with the caps on.

**Q: have your neptune brushes lasted? Worth it?**
A: I haven’t had them long enough to really answer this, but so far they seem like the same quality as the normal brushes.

**Q: Are these better or the Aqua Elites?**
A: Aqua elites are stiff. Non absorbent.  And all around terrible for watercolor or gouche. The aqua elite scrubs my paper to shreds when using normally. The elites just push the pigment away from where I want it. Terrible brushes. So are the princeton neptune. Non absorbent and don't release the pigment well. But they are soft so therefor more usable.  But still crap. The neptune don't hold water well and release it terribly. You want good brushes try silverbrush velvet. Truly the only brushes I would recommend to anyone pro or beginner. But definitely to a beginner. Same price as other brushes if lower quality. And will improve your art.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As expected
*by J***N on July 8, 2023*

Princeton Neptune brushes as some of the thirstiest and most consistent brushes I have used. They have good snap and hold their points, the ferrules are solid and they hold up well to heavy use. These travel brishes seem to be no exception. They aren't crazy fragile and do not wear more than would be expected using paint in pans rather than tubes. (I have used them with student grade paint, artist grade (Daniel Smith, Senellier, MaimeriBlu and M. Graham) and artisanal quality paints. (Isaro and Greenleaf and Blueberry). My studio brushes have held for 2 years and counting, I look forward to many years of hiding these travel treasures in my backpack, next to my homemade tiny pallet. The caps fit very snugly and sometimes are not easy to remove, I had to use a bead of glue on the #6 to make it hold fast. This is, however, not something foreign to an artist but more something to be expected and planned for in advance. Most brushes end up getting a wee bit loosy goosy at the connection of ferrule and handle, those of this build with crimped metal ferrule anyway. Artist for more than a decade, watercolorist for nearly half of that.
