A vegan-friendly synthetic round set covering seven useful sizes for watercolour, sketching, and general painting.
This set is built around a single, consistent brush type: pointed synthetic rounds in a full size progression from 0 to 12. That makes it an easy-to-use, dependable choice for painters who want one family of brushes that covers both detail and broader paint application. The smaller sizes are ideal for fine marks, line work, and controlled accents, while the larger brushes give you enough capacity for washes, shaping, and more confident strokes.
Because every brush in the set belongs to the same synthetic line, the handling stays predictable as you move up the range. That is especially useful for artists who work in watercolour, sketching, or mixed media and want a compact set without shape changes or mixed materials. It is also a strong option for vegan buyers. Compared with buying the brushes separately, the set gives you a complete, coherent size ladder and better value for an everyday working kit.
What makes this brush special
The set should feel crisp, springy, and consistent across all seven brushes. Synthetic fibres give good point retention, easy cleaning, and reliable snap, which makes them well suited to regular studio use. The short handles are comfortable for close work, travel, and table painting. Overall, this is a practical, no-fuss set that focuses on dependable performance rather than variety of shapes.

How we measure a brushA visual guide to the measurements shown in the size chart above.
These are the same measurements shown in the size chart above. Brush sizes are not standardised across brands, so use these dimensions when comparing brushes within a series or between manufacturers.
Tuft Length
The visible length of the brush hairs, measured from the ferrule to the tip.
Belly Diameter
The widest point of the brush head. On round brushes, this is the widest part of the belly.
Total Length
The full measurement from the tip of the brush to the end of the handle.
How to care for your brush
All brushes in this set are synthetic, so upkeep is straightforward. Rinse them soon after use, especially if you are working with acrylic or heavily pigmented paint, and reshape the points while damp. Synthetic fibres can tolerate slightly warmer water than natural hair, but avoid hot water and do not leave them soaking for long periods. If you use brush soap, a gentle wash will help keep the points sharp and the fibres responsive. Store the set dry in a brush roll, case, or upright holder where the tips are protected from bending. The larger sizes especially benefit from careful storage so they keep their shape over time.
