Great for watercolor!

The Protege Plus are my first really good brushes. My old brushes that I used to start with watercolor were new but nowhere near the quality of Trekell as they held water and paint but had practically no points. It is such a pleasure to work with these high quality brushes. They have spring and excellent points but also have full bellies to carry water and paint. I now have sizes 14, 12, 10, 8, 6 and 2. I have used them all and am very happy with each one.

Dude! The best brushes I’ve ever used and I’ve been painting for 16 years. Thank Craola for this purchase. I’m only using your brushes from now on and I’m gunna throw away all of my brushes once I’ve replaced them all.

Excellent quality & fast shipping!

I heard about Trekell’s brushes via Mab Graves, whom I follow on Instagram. She didn’t lie about the quality! I’ve been oil painting for years now and I’m very impressed with the feel of these brushes, how they lay down paint, and their ability to hold their shape. As an extra bonus, the shipping was extremely fast - I got the brushes 2 days after I ordered them (as fast as Amazon!). 10/10, highly recommend.

enjoying these brushes

These briushes have become among my favorite brushes. They hold their point really well. Looking forward to seing how they hold up with time. I plan on buying more as I can afford them.
