Fuumuui 4pcs Elegant Kolinsky Sable Watercolor Brushes - Travel Kit with Leather Pouch Perfect for Gouache Ink Painting

Great travel watercolor brushes. Best for loose abstract painting. They did shed a bit even after I followed the insurer instructions for prepping before painting. They hold a good deal of loaded paint and water, they come to a nice thin point for brush work. They seem to be well made with beautiful wood base and a very sturdy well crafted steel bezel and cap. The vinyl travel case is well made not cheap and easy to pack up for a plain air painting (plein air- stupid voice text) I wouldn’t use them for paintings larger than 8x10 nor for commissions compositions. But they are fun for personal use.

I love my Fuumuui travel brush set! They are excellent quality brushes. The bristles are soft and hold a nice amount of water and pigment. They are easy to use and clean. The leather pouch is about 5.5 inches long and the largest brush is about 8.75 inches when open. They are well made and nicely weighted. Very comfortable to use. The bristles don't shed and have held their shape well. A great value for the money.

This is hidden gem of travel brushes. I bought it when my Escoda set was stolen. These are coming quite close in quality overall - especially for someone who is not looking for high end sable.This set feel just a bit more robust; Escoda have finer tip. If you are not looking to illuminate manuscripts but for good quality travel brushes for water color, these are just perfect. They screw in the handle while Escoda push in. The holder is leather, but also less refined - but it works! Cant beat the price. I use them just as much as my - replaced my stolen set at last - Escoda travel sable brushes set.

Decent quality travel brush set.I doubt the brush hairs are synthetic as suggested by several other reviewers. The hairs look and perform like natural hair or perhaps a synthetic and natural hair blend. They seem far too soft and absorbent to be pure syntheticThe brushes hold a good amount of water and have decent snap. My main complaint is that the brush hairs are a bit uneven. So although they do hold a good point when wet, don’t expect the type of performance you’d get from a higher end sable. At this low price, I didn’t expect high performance brushes.The case is nice but it doesn’t seem like genuine leather, as advertised. Feels more like synthetic leather.Also, the brushes have air holes at the ends of the handles, so that the hairs can dry out if you cap them when they’re still wet, which prevents damage to the brush.Overall, a very attractive and functional travel brush set at an affordable price

These black squirrel hair brushes are great. I was skeptical at first from what I was seeing in the other recent reviews but over all I was pleasantly surprised. Now if you are not used to very soft bristled paint brushes then these might not be the ones for you, but they hold a lot of water very well and I started that hydrangea painting with them. After wetting them for the first time it’s to be expected that some hairs would fall out but hardly any came out and the brushes retained their shape afterwards (Second photo after soaking). Most of the reviews that I saw that mentioned issues were for mostly the synthetic hair brushes so, as far as I can say, the natural squirrel hair brushes are great and perfect for travel. Easy to use, easy to store, easy to clean, and affordable.

The size when packed is tiny, and they're very sturdy when assembled and have some good weight to them so they don't blow away instantly if you put it down outside. What prompted me to write this review though, was the one brush that has a graphite tip. I forgot my pencil and resolved myself to just painting without a sketch first. Lucky I pulled the brush that has the drawing end out first. Problem solved😃 For a quick under-sketch it really does the trick!

I am not a professional watercolor artist, by any means. I dabble and enjoy the fluidity. I have been upgrading my tools as I sell originals and I finally decided I needed more than one brush, and I definitely needed to have more watercolor specific brushes (all my other once are cobbled together from other paint types). I also wanted something that I could travel with. These are perfect, the brush head not only screws into the handle for safe keeping but also when you go to use it, it screws in for stability. I had never had that before, they were all friction fit. I love that these screw in both ways! The handle is very ergonomic, the weight is evenly distributed. I am doing a test run painting dahlias. Highly recommend, would be an excellent stocking stuffer ;)

I’m honestly skeptical that these are real squirrel. They hold very little water & paint, far less than I expected or when compared to other brands of brushes I have in similar shapes and sizes. They are very pretty and seem well made though. They’re suitable for a travel sketch kit, but I wouldn’t call them professional grade. I don’t think I’d buy them again, but I’m fine with throwing them in a fast sketch kit.
