About the product

Princeton Aqua Elite Synthetic Watercolour Brushes

Aqua Elite: Finest Synthetic Kolinsky Sable

Aqua Elite is an innovative synthetic-hair paint brush that is indistinguishable from natural Kolinsky, yet significantly more affordable. The performance of this new synthetic hair brush technology makes Princeton Aqua Elite the new standard for discerning watercolor artists.

Highly praised synthetic watercolour brushes that hold a fine point and carry exceptional amounts of pigment and water. Customers said they work well for detailed botanical illustration, blending, and creating precise strokes. Some found the price expensive, and a few experienced stock availability issues, but overall performance exceeded expectations.

  • Holds a ton of paint/water and comes to a very fine point
  • They hold a fine point and just the right amount of water for detailed work
  • The brush creates beautiful marks with both wet and dry media

I tried it and like the brush

I tried it and like the brush. It will cary a lot of pigment and can give a wide or fine line. I'll see how long the hairs last.

Holds a ton of paint/water and comes to a very fine point

Holds a ton of paint/water and comes to a very fine point. I have more expensive brushes that do not perform as well. Hard to believe that such a reasonably priced brush could perform so well.

angular shader

The 1/2" angular shader is working really well for making flower and leaf shapes! Love it!

Great brush but TOOK FOREVER TO GET. They were backordered which I didn’t obviously know when I ordered. Thought may a week or 2 wait. It was a couple months. The brush is amazing though!

Still waiting for my backordered item from July

Trying to be patient but this is crazy, shows the Princeton Aqua Elite round 4 in stock but both times I have connected they tell me they don’t have it in stock. Guess I will try and see if I can get one somewhere else and ask for a refund. Not super happy

Watercolor brushes

I like the Princeton elite brushes I bought at Opus a lot. However, it’s way overpriced. I wonder how much the markup was from the original manufacture’s price.

Versatile and affordable quality mop brush

I bought a large mop brush for a background and a finish and touch painting. The brush creates beautiful marks with both wet and dry media, such as watercolour, watersoluble graphite, and Pan Pastel. It was slightly more pricey than I originally wanted, but I was pleased about the purchase. The store staff was very helpful in finding the right kind of brush for my purpose!

Great brushes!

The Princeton Aqua Elite watercolour brushes are perfect for botanical illustration. They hold a fine point and just the right amount of water for detailed work. My new favourite brush!
