DOODLEWASH REVIEW: Miller’s Pseudo Sable Travel Watercolor Brushes

The post says the Miller’s Pseudo Sable travel set is preferred over the American Journey travel set. It also notes that the palette is compact, made of stainless steel, and includes a size 2 round travel brush.

The review says the synthetic brushes hold a lot of water and paint, feel soft and springy, and work well on Arches and Bockingford paper as well as travel watercolor books. It also says the size 6 can lean over at the tip and that the set retails for $46.29, which is described as a very good deal.

Reading notes

#

• The author says that they prefer the Pseudo Sable set to the Cheap Joe’s American Journey travel set.
• The palette is described as compact, made of stainless steel, with 12 fixed plastic wells and a size 2 round brush.
• The brush set was used for a few weeks, except for a 10/0 brush used separately, and the author says they would only keep using them if they liked them.
• The brushes hold a lot of water and paint and, because they are synthetic, have soft, springy fibers with good bounce.
• The author says they work well on Arches and Bockingford paper, as well as a Global Arts Travelogue watercolor book and a Stillman & Birn Gamma Series.
• The tip is considered good, but on the size 6 it sometimes leans; the size 6 also became stained with another color because of Mission Gold dark blue paint.
• According to the quotation from the Cheap Joe’s site, the brushes mimic real sable, use molded synthetic nylon bristles designed to hold a lot of color, and have wooden handles from responsibly managed forests.
• The set comes with sizes 4, 6, 8, and 12, costs US$ 46.29, and is favorably compared to Davinci Comotop Spin travel brushes.
• The author says the brushes fit very snugly into the case slots and are also sold individually and in a short-handle version.
• The text presents an idea for a travel palette with a Velamints gum tin, because it is compact and offers configuration possibilities.
• The author mentions the Instagram @jessicaseacrest, the Reviews category, and the World Watercolor Group, with monthly painting prompts.
