  • Hi. I watched your site about these brushes. I loved how they looked so I ordered them. I never had a chance to try them until a few days ago and absolutely love them. I am new to watercolor and love 💕 your site. I have learned so much from you. You are never too late to learn, as I just had my 70th birthday in March. Thanks for all your time you spend on YouTube and the knowledge you pass on. God Bless you and your family.
  • Hi Emma, thank you so much for sharing this.. as I couldn’t purchase the other brush you use from Bangladesh. But I was able to just place order for these brushes! Love all your videos and I actually started watercolour painting because of you!! ❤️
  • First thing I loved was the point on the brushes. They look great. Love your floral picture.
  • I am so glad you demo'd these. I bought them and I love them!!!
  • @kittykatsfc13
    I just ordered a set of these I’m so happy to try them out! Can you do a tutorial on using the detail brushes I would love to see details on your watercoloring 😍😍
  • @sueh1987
    The timing of your review was perfect! Was wanting to purchase new brushes and they look amazing! Just bought and have used your coupon code successfully!
  • @ItayaArt
    Just bought a set! Can’t wait to use them. Thank you for the suggestion and the discount! 💕
  • Lovely florals Emma. Watched twice coz those brushes looking super duper in your hands. Really tempted.
  • @LoriF25403
    The code brought it to $50.40 (US) although I didn't need new brushes, I love the Silver Black Velvets, but when I want finer detail they can be a bit floppy. Thank you Emma for another great video.
  • Beautiful painting Emma! Those brushes look awesome! Can't wait to purchase when they are back in stock. Thank you for the review.
  • @dynoyoshi83
    After watching your video, I immediately bought the brush set and I have to say, the brushes are my new favorite by far! Thank you so much for the demo and for the amazing tutorials! I’m so glad I found your channel!
  • @ladyt1277
    Thanks for the video. Yes, brushes are a personal thing. Princeton snap are a little too stiff for me to paint watercolor. I love them for gouache and color swatches. I’m always willing to try out new brushes, though! I have quite a variety and like each one for different reasons and different brush strokes. Im going to give these a try.
  • @meanbean98
    woohoo what is Emma Up to now? Love it!!!!! very cool very excited to see.. have to try the da vince caseneo size 2 quill brush best brush i ever had ...
  • @Phyllis8940
    Thanks for the review. I ordered and appreciate the discount!!!! Cant wait to give them a try.
  • @pamketron
    Those look amazing. I’m impressed. The point is so sharp and they seem to snap back good too. Looked on their site and they are sold out for now!!! Will check back later. Nice that they can be purchased individually too. Maybe they will be back in stock soon! Thanks for sharing!
  • @susanthomas8274
    Nice! Good to learn about new brushes! I notice my Snap brushes lose their point after a lot of use. Thanks Emma!
  • I just ordered. Thank you Emma! I’ve watched for a long time. I think this is my first comment. I love your tutorials.
  • @FannaTurano
    I just discovered that the "glue" on new brushes is gum arabic, the same stuff that is used as a thinning agent (they call it a "vehicle!" LOL) with dry wc minerals. Interesting, huh? :)
  • @donnakennedy87
    Thank you Emma. This is the first time in years that I invested in some new brushes. These look fabulous and I found the sale price to be really good. And on top of that, they gave me the additional 10% off. Won't get these till May but worth the wait. TYFS, Donna, in California.
  • @StudioJulieAnn
    Ordered a few days ago. I no longer "collect shoes", but brushes! Thank you Emma.
