Size 0 + 3 Winsor & Newton Sceptre Gold II Series Paintbrush Bundle

These are my two favorite paintbrushes for making a variety of projects (including those in the Ultimate Beginner’s Watercolor Online Course). For people who enjoy creating calligraphy, the size 3 paintbrush is fabulous for applying watercolor to the back of a nib to use it as ink! I like the size 0 for applying tiny details to watercolor paintings or drawing tiny gold dots around calligraphy.

 

This set includes two paintbrushes:

 

• Size 0 Winsor & Newton Sceptre Gold II Series 101 Brush
• Size 3 Winsor & Newton Sceptre Gold II Series 101 Brush

 

The brushes are made from a blend of sable and synthetic fibers. The idea is that the sable fibers in the brush give the performance of a sable brush, while the synthetic fibers allow for these brushes to be sold at a much lower price point than sable. I’ve found that these perform at the level of my sable brushes, so I use them interchangeably with my pure sable collection. The Sceptre Gold II series has good paint saturation and spring; they’ll absolutely become a staple in your toolkit!
