Bought individually, these nine come to well over the price of the set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the set\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 inch Wash — Squirrela synthetic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWash Flat 12 — Squirrela synthetic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHoly Mop 10 — Squirrela synthetic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMop 6 — traditional wired, Kolinsky synthetic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRound 8 — Kolinsky synthetic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRound 4 — Kolinsky synthetic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRound 3\/0 — Kolinsky synthetic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong Liner 1 — Kolinsky synthetic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeedle 4 — Kolinsky synthetic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy these nine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two filament types do different jobs and that is the point of the mix. Squirrela synthetic is soft and thirsty — it holds a large load and releases it slowly, which is what a wash needs. Kolinsky synthetic has snap: it springs back to a point, so a liner draws an unbroken line and a round holds its tip through a stroke instead of splaying. A set built entirely from one or the other would do half the work well and half badly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizes follow true European standards, so a Round 8 here is a Round 8 anywhere. Ferrules are brass and seamless — a brush dies at the ferrule, not the tip, which is why the seat matters more than the hair on a set meant to last years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it suits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePainters who already know they are staying with watercolour and are tired of assembling a kit one brush at a time, and serious learners moving up from a student set.
