In this series, we are going on a journey of testing out affordable watercolor brushes from around the world. Find the brush that best matches your paint brush needs! In this episode we test the Jackson Toray watercolor brush in round size 10.
We're going to test its water load, how they handle going up and down on paper, max brush width, belly drag, how thin a line it can do, painting leaf, snaking, wash, gradation, lift and dashes.

Thank you for your diligence and pushing through all of those brushes and keeping a consistent test to make comparisons with. Appreciate your efforts.🤗

This was immensely educational for a newbie about what NOT to accept in a brush.

You have great stamina to carry on and finish testing this brush. Not only once, but again and again! Thanks for all your hard work Oto!💜

Oto, your commitment to the scientific method is commendable! thank you! I found a couple of Handover brush cases (with a Handover cloth label) that are also available with the Jackson's label, but a couple of £ more expensive. Identical brush cases! I think Handover "white labels" products for Jackson's. By the way, many renowned German brush makers (Da Vinci, KUM, Kolibri, all of the located near Nuremberg) make brushes (BTW always hand made!) for other brands, sometimes changing the configuration adapting to the brand's needs. I'd be interested to learn who makes them in 🇩🇪.

I saw a size 40 at Blick (different brand, Silver, but a 40 is a 40) and just had to buy it because of how comically large it was! It's great for base washes and if you want to paint huge.

Thanks for this very through review of a not-worth-it brush. I purchased a Handover long script quill in a small size (painting on handle has faded) meant for use for car detailing, etc., and its been fun to play with as a rigger, but its build quality has a lot to be desired as well. It’s a different fiber but just as disappointing. It’s ok, tho, because we have so many other great brushes to work with. 😊

Hey Oto, have you ever done reveiws on sword/dagger brushes from different Companys?

Loved the video! Are you going to review Jackson's Artica? For me it works well for details

@awatercolourist Жыл бұрын

The Jackson’s Artica looks suspiciously like the Escoda Perla; I suspect that they are the same. The Artica has three crimps in the ferrule, which, to my knowledge, only Escoda does.

Have you considered the Handover synthetic sable brush?

Lmfao!! I was SO Shocked and confused when I saw that freaky ”pattern” I even started questioning if it exists some special kind of brush that I never heard off before and it took you so long before you mentioned it LMAO, you sounded so calm it made me doubt myself even more!! They invented a new brush, i think they should fall it a SPIRIT BRUSH - because it got SPIRIT! 😂 or ghost brush, sometimes it is there sometimes it goes *POOF* (disappears) 😂 Kinda funny

Jackson's and Handover belong to the same company :)

Really? I thought Jackson’s was independent. Thanks for the information.

Handover say that Jackson’s is their ”sister” company

I thought all Handover brushes were made in England and China?
