Silver Brush Limited3000S-4 Black Velvet Round Paintbrush for Watercolor, Gouache, Inks, & Dyes, Size 4, Short Handle

I hesitated due to the price, but it was recommended by another artist, Completely worth it. It is luscious. Holds lots of water or paint and holds its point well. Glad I splurged.

This is my second one #4,I originally want to order #8, I placed this #4 by mistake.I decided to return, but this beautiful brush make me keeping him.

*EDIT*The seller of this brush (Jerry’s Artarama), was AMAZINGLY HELPFUL. They gave me a full refund on my bent brush with no hassle at all!Now on to reiterating how much I LOVE this BRUSH! Silver Black Velvet is 100% my favorite brand of brush at this point, and this size is amazing. Holds lots of water and paint, but can do fine detail work like a champ. Completely recommend this brush, this brand, and Jerry’s Artarama (third party seller).First of all, this rating is for the packaging, not the brush itself. I LOVE this brush. Silver brushes are my absolute favorite, and my painting got exponentially better when I started using them. The point on this brush is so fine and delicate, and the brush holds its shape. I absolutely would give this brush 10 stars if I could.But the 1 star rating is for the packaging. I ordered this brush the first time, it came loose in a bubble wrap envelope..,and was bent. Okay, so I returned it and purchased another one. This one ALSO came loose in a bubble wrap envelope, and the little plastic sleeve that keeps the bristles safe during shipping wasn’t even on the brush! This is such a tiny item, and so fragile (compared to, say, a book), you would think they would take more care with shipping. Absolutely recommend this brush, but the shipping was awful.

I'm so impressed with the way the brush is pointed at the end in a very fine line. It makes it so fun and easy to paint watercolor and not to have to change brushes to get the fine lines needed.

I’ve used the Silver Black Velvet brushes in several sizes for over 10 years. I often reach for them over my far more expensive Windsor & Newton Series 7 brushes. They hold a good load of paint and maintain a fine point through many uses.

The bristles on this brush are resilient, pointed and responds well to repeated use. I have used this brush almost every time I paint and the bristles and the point are still in excellent shape.

After seeing so many review videos on YouTube I was excited to try but it’s not really wowing me the way I thought. It holds lots of water but the point isn’t as sharp as I expected. Still a good overall brush tho

Holds its point grabs a lot of paint

Sencillamente genial. Ojalá lo hubiera tenido Antes. Es caro pero vale cada pelo. Me encanta la definición con la q se puede pintar. Es perfecto.

I absolutely love this brush. I have a top of the range Winsor and Newton Series 7 sable Kolinsky brush which was a very expensive purchase for me but I find this brush much easier to use and performs a lot better. Even though it is only a size 4 it holds a LOT of water but it holds its shape. I’m relatively new to watercolour and I have noticed the difference that this has made to my painting. I also recently purchased a size 12 which I am also equally impressed with. I’ve now ordered four more brushes from the range I’m that impressed with them. I follow a lot of artists on social media and noticed that a lot of them use these brushes and now I know why.

ottimo

Happy with the products.

New to watercolour I bought finest sable brushes as everyone says. Did find that judging the amount of water on the brush hard, so decided to buy a mixed brush, so pleased I did, much easier to control for me, not flooding with water, the no 4 is a slim brush and so will buy a 6 to replace the 4 sable one I have. Painting has improved, thank u silver brush.
