“I have been painting professionally for many years and have experimented with many different brushes. It is of the utmost importance to me that I use the highest quality brushes and I have found that Princeton brushes provide me with what I am looking for. Their quality is unsurpassed. My preferred brushes are the Velvetouch & Heritage series that work seamlessly for oil, acrylic and gouache work! I also appreciate the many available size options for all of my painting needs. I use Princeton brushes and could not be happier.”
