Why the right brush changes everything
In watercolor, the brush is an extension of the gesture. A hair that doesn't hold its shape, a tip that frays, or a handle that slips can ruin even the most inspired painting session.
The watercolor brushes we offer have been selected and tested directly with Tingiri colors: they hold the right amount of water, maintain their point, and respond with precision to every pressure.
From compact sets for painting while traveling to studio brushes for large formats — every tool is created to accompany your painting, not hinder its flow.

Frequently asked questions about watercolor brushes
Which brushes are suitable for watercolor?+
The best brushes for watercolor are those with soft hair that holds water well: squirrel, sable, or quality synthetic hair. The tip must return to its original shape after every brushstroke. A good, versatile round brush is the starting point for every watercolorist.
How many brushes are needed for watercolor painting?+
Technically, 3 brushes are enough to start: a large round for washes, a medium round for shapes, and a small one for details. With experience, one adds flat, fan, or liner brushes for specific effects.
How do you clean watercolor brushes?+
Watercolor brushes are cleaned with simple lukewarm water, passing the hair over the palm of your hand until the water runs clear. For a deep clean, use mild soap. Never leave brushes standing with the hair in water: it deforms the hair and deteriorates the handle.
Are Tingiri brushes suitable for beginners?+
Yes, Tingiri brush sets are designed for both beginners and experienced artists. The travel sets with cases are perfect for painting anywhere, while the studio sets cover all technical needs from washes to details.
