Escoda Signature Series Artist Watercolor Brush Set, Laurin Mccracken Set #1, Versatil Synthetic Kolinsky, Size (Round) 4, 6, 10

I love this travel brush combo. They are the perfect-sized brushes for my travel urban sketching. The quality is excellent, and the carry pouch feels well-made and durable. The brushes are easy to clean and maintain. They retain their shape well and collapse to half their size to store away. These brushes hold lots of water and pigment. Very impressed. I love the green and chrome color style on the handles.

I purchased due to watching a watercolor artist on YouTube. I did some research (as is my nature) and decided to try them out. Very happy with my purchase.

High end watercolor brushes - nice points - my go to always brushes.

Excellent round brushes at a very good price.

Of course, this bush holds a lot of water, has a razor sharp toe, and has a big, fat belly, making it ideal for doing amazing dry brush techniques...it's an Escoda. This brush is soft enough for doing perfect glazes without disturbing the underneath paint layers, but NOT so soft that controlling contour and directional strokes feels clumsy. Effortless handling because it's balanced and very well constructed. This is my go to brush when I choose to firmly press an area to bruise the paper when making darker watercolor marks.

Difficult to paint details even with the smallest brush. Water retention OK. The two sections of the brush are not threaded for storage but the two halves press together. I have had the handle and brush sections fall apart during use. You might want to upgrade to one of the better offerings for travel brushes from Escoda. I still use the brushes for Urban Sketching.

These Escoda Perla brushes are wonderful, and used by many well known watercolor artists. Great points and good for more detailed areas. The pricepoint for 3 very usable sizes (8, 10, 12), with the 10 being a travel brush, was great! Love Escoda!

Very nice brushes
