Princeton - Neptune Travel Brush Set

Neptune Travel Brush Set

Paint on location with brushes that pack down to protect tips

Synthetic squirrel fiber changes how travel brushes perform. Princeton's Neptune brushes hold significant water reserves, essential when you're painting away from your studio setup, while maintaining the soft, responsive feel that watercolor demands. The fibers release color evenly across washes, eliminating the frustrating streaks that cheaper travel brushes leave behind.

Each brush disassembles so the tip stores safely inside its own hollow handle. This isn't just convenient; it's genuine protection for delicate points that would otherwise get crushed in a bag or pocket. Brushes stay secure in their compact case, ready when inspiration strikes during travel or plein air sessions.

Round brushes in sizes 4, 6, 8, and 10 cover the core range most watercolorists reach for constantly: fine details through medium washes. Short handles provide control in confined spaces, train tables, park benches, cramped hotel rooms, where standard-length brushes feel awkward. The synthetic construction means these brushes maintain their shape and performance through the temperature shifts and humidity changes that travel inevitably brings.
