Review: Da Vinci Casaneo Watercolour Brush

[@teohyc]

Update: Casaneo are available as pocket brushes too.

[@reginakoh428]

1598 is the quill pocket brush

[@bethdoman2371]

This is the best review of this particular brush - so thank you! I have just ordered a #2 and can't wait for it to arrive! I'm new to watercolour and have to admit I'm kind of obsessed. And I am so glad there are cruelty-free options out there that are decent quality.

[@stefanieschmiedel1929]

Based on your review I bought this brush and I absolutely love it! I was never particularly keen on synthetic brushes, but this one is a game changer. Thank you so much Teoh!

[@suemorris4642]

Thank you so much, I've been searching for hours to find a review as good as this for synthetic squirrel and sable brushes. You've helped me enormously! Thank you thank you!

[@andyyolesen]

I spent all day researching brushes and finally settled on the exact Davinci synthetic brush #2 you sampled here. Thank you so much!!

[@houyi3129]

Today purchased the Casaneo washing brush size 4 in a local store here in Germany for 23 Euros. Had to ask the staff if it's "real synthetic" ^^ because it doesn't look and and feel so at all. First impression was great, as well an small Fabriano 100‰ cotton paper (hot pressed, around A6 ) as on bigger Hahnemühle watecolour paper(A3, cold pressed, 300 g/sqm) . It's so smooth, holding such a big amount of water.Just found your review here and so happy it's affirming my impression💘

[@lockeyarts]

I've been using these brushes in several shapes and sizes for over a year now and I'm pretty satisfied with them. For me they are a happy medium between more springy red sable and soft squirrel hair. Like with all synthetics, pigment tends to travel up towards the ferrule and that makes them a little harder to clean than a natural hair brush. I definitely end up using more brush soap to get these clean. Also, if I want fine detail I still prefer Silver Black Velvet rounds.

[@iskusstvo_lit_vodu]

I use Casaneo brushes more than a year and has found a ONE MINUS. The tips of thin brushes are "curling", specifically I tell about my round brush #3 and a wash brush #0. And now it's really hard to work by a brush #3. All bigger sizes work perfectly, a wash brush #4, a flat brush and a mottler are fantastic!

[@yvonnecarpenter2957]

I got their travel rounds from this series - they are very good - I also use their #2 quill/wash that you reviewed here and l love it. The #4 quill is also excellent for skies and larger areas. I am looking forward to May, when Davinci says they will make available in USA other shapes of Casaneo in travel format! Of course the travel version is always more expensive, so those that are not sure they will like this brush or do not want to spend extra $ for a travel version, perhaps you can get a non-travel version of your “work horse” size brush to try - you can then take it on the road with some bristle protection - it would really perform the same whether it is a travel or studio brush. In USA, these are very reasonably priced (compared to their competition) and way cheaper than natural hair equivalents. Blick Art Materials (online) carries then and you can often use their weekly sales promotions to cut down the price even further and get free shipping. I doubt you will be disappointed with this range. And no, I am not affiliated with davinci or Blick, lol, I just honestly like this product!

[@Tennishead21]

I also have two of these Da Vinci brushes and must echo your comments that were I to do a blind test, I would not be able to differentiate these from my Da Vinci sables or Escoda sables, which cost considerably more and are smaller. These are fantastic brushes and I am pleased to see them finally reviewed; your channel is one of few reviews. Thanks for sharing.

[@garyweybright3227]

Hello, I purchased this brush in Seattle Wa. Several months ago. Have used it along with my other “quill” style brushes. Teoh, you are exactly correct, this brush is wonderful, keeps a wonderful point, AND holds a large amount of water/paint, and the point snaps back to perfect Point! Love it as well! Claudia

[@Mattmattong]

Bought one after seeing this review and am in love. Good reservoir, fantastic SnapBack, affordable, light and easy to hold; just perfect. Tx for the recommendation

[@Deb_BG]

Much kinder than natural hair.

[@TrueLoveX1027]

Thanks for a truly great review of the Da Vinci Casaneo Quill. Your comparisons to the other brushes was thorough and most helpful. I have a Princeton Neptune Size 4 Quill that I adore, but the 4 is the smallest quill they make and have been trying to find a smaller quill. Well, I just found it thanks to you Teoh Yi Chie. I wish you the very best!

[@marsbeads]

I may have to check these out. They look very nice. Dick Blick has the travel brush. Thanks for the review.

[@maryjane89]

I only use synthetic brushes, and Da Vinci has really been knocking it out of the park for me. The Escado series is my absolute favourite, so I was very happy to see you give a positive review!

[@susansacco7583]

Thank you so much for reviewing this brush. I got mine last week and it’s so beautiful to paint with. I got the number 2. It’s a dream. Thank you Teoh!

[@j.p.retnugh3924]

Thank you for this excellent review Mr. Teoh Yi Chie. You answered questions that I've wanted to know concerning the different brands of watercolor brushes. Valuable performance information and money saver.

[@Spafon1]

I've got this brush and love it. Would definitely consider checking out the rest of the range.

[@richardkeller3852]

Synthetic brushes are getting better. I have a Raphael synthetic squrrel brush that I really like. I'll have to try the de Vinci. I don't have a sable brush and this is more economic.

[@gorway7]

Yes I think in the last 18 months there has been some big leaps in synthetic brush fibre. Holding capacity and flow control were always issues that put me off pure synthetics for watercolour. They seem to have overcome this now without having to blend in natural hair. You are now seeing synthetics with a proper belly that still point.

[@SharonCullenArt]

I have used mine for quite a while, a couple of years and I liked it but I am a nnatural fiber girl so it kind of sits a bit. I love the size I got. I believe I have a 2 as well. But it is great for travel also. Round sizing is always smaller than wash. And the measurements are done by width more than length. Usually in mm.

[@higherground711]

Synthetic brushes are steadily getting better. Lots of options on the market for all budgets. Hurray for competition lol! Seriously thanks for the excellent review. 👍 😄 This brush looks great! Thanks Teoh.

[@barbrajoan2554]

DaVinci brushes are very good. I have a few including the #8 travel brush. I use large brushes in my painting and quills suit me. I'm looking forward to adding a Rosemary brush to my tools. Thanks Teoh for all you do.

[@tmp0922]

My absolutely favorite brushed I have a 4, 2 and 1 I’m going to get a the mutter and a series of rounds I use the with my Escoda round Perlas. Excellent review Teoh!

[@good_youtube_handle]

Incredible! Definitely going to be buying some of these. I'm not vegan, but, I imagine this will also make a lot of my vegan friends happy to hear about.

[@debsmith7050]

Glad to know :) I just watched your selecting the size of brush for sketchbooks - 2015

[@crochetomania]

I’ve got a No0 Casanero and absolutely love it. More than my sable brushes at the moment. Really want to buy a few more sizes now.

[@ThingOfSome]

They come in the pocket brush (even in other shapes than round), and also other shapes, like a dagger and rigger. These are in their new catalogs, which are shown on the right-hand side of the website you scrolled down.

[@sritejab7762]

Thanks Teoh! I just got mine and as you say, they perform just like natural hair brushes. Consistent water release, sharp point and hold large amount of water. Im hoping I will never need to buy natural hair brushes again. The only drawback is the price. They cost almost as much as natural hair brushes

[@lindaapple1678]

Update: I purchased this brush Casaneo 498 #2 a few months ago and I have to say that it is one of the best brushes I have ever used! I absolutely love it! This is saying a lot, as I have been a full time artist for nearly 50 yrs. and have bought 100's of oil and watercolor brushes. I want to try some of the others in this series.

[@labaccident2010]

Linda Apple I just ordered some and I’m super excited to try them.

[@labaccident2010]

Update: I love them! The no. 2 quill is my current favorite!

[@lindaapple1678]

LabAccident , mine too! So glad you like them.😄

[@labaccident2010]

Linda Apple it took a few tries of messing around before I got used to how much water it holds, but I found that I really like the floppiness of the brush and the large amount of water. Not to mention, quill brushes just look cooler

[@lindaapple1678]

LabAccident brushes are a tricky thing. One does not fit all😂

[@shadowseer07]

I recently bought a size 8 round and I am so in love, and can't put it down.

[@davidpohl9406]

Excellent review! You have sold me on this brush. I have avoided natural squirrel because of the lack of snap but this sounds like the answer for me. Princeton Neptune quills are priced lower but do not spring back as well in review videos. Also they do not offer smaller sizes like the Casaneo#2. You are an excellent reviewer. Thank you.

[@MR_THINQ]

The da Vinci brushes are amazing

[@armeniopatricio9058]

I have a few of these brushes, so far I’m really enjoying them.

[@Terry-xf8uh]

This was really helpful! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@asamandhiry8648]

Thank you Teoh for the review. Hope to buy one.

[@DeyfanAoki]

I love this da vinci quill brushes! It is so versatile!

[@snoozleblob]

Wow. Very impressed by this brush!

[@LeaGalTan]

Exciting! I try to buy synthetic so your review has me doing a happy dance:-)

[@geckonia]

How exciting to find this one Teoh! Good score.

[@Chris8118sirhC]

Great review! I’ve experienced the same problems with my Escoda brush but this one has a very fine point. I’ll check them out. Thank you!

[@geslinam9703]

I have two of these brushes, so far I’m really impressed. I plan on buying more of the DaVinci synthetics.

[@teohyc]

This may be the best synthetic from them, or from all brands

[@greyareaRK1]

Excellent. Thanks, Teoh!

[@goldgoddess_gg]

I got it few days ago, absolutely love it! you can get it from other sites like Jackson's for cheaper compared to amazon!

[@moniquefrechette4516]

Yes Teoh, I bought pocket brush casaneo on Amazon.ca. Thanks a lot for the information. You are definitely a great guy!

[@vampazilla2622]

Thanks for posting this video. As always, I learned a lot.

[@leesalogic3]

Thank you for this review. I have a synthetic squirrel quill but I just don't like that it doesn't have snap. This convinced me to purchase the Casaneo. (A pricey brush for synthetic sable!)

[@Karmer]

Great video. I brought the newly released synthetic brush from Winsor and Newton and it's sooooo good! First time using this type of brush too, so I'm really glad there's more synthetic brushes out there to try later :-)

[@oliferous]

GREAT review, thanks 🤘

[@rainstarian]

Hi Teoh, I would like an update: does this brush still snap back nicely into a point?

[@naturesketches126]

Thanks for this review. I just mine in the mail today and it's everything you said, amazing brush!

[@teohyc]

That's great :-)

[@LambentOrt]

Thank you for this review. I've been thinking of getting a mop brush... and am convinced to go with synthetic because of price point. But not really sure what size to get...

[@SadieSavestheDay]

Actually I saw that they will have travel versions of these brushes

[@danthomas6587]

I love my Casaneo and plan to buy another very soon. Good vid...subbed

[@BrendaArtist]

indeed good synthetic brushes are as even good or better than real animal hair brushes. besides that fact animal hair brushes means cruelty. mostly squirrels and martens are hunted catched and killed only for their fur. I personally never use or buy real hair brushes as I don't want any animal to die to become a brush for me. I even seen horrific marten farms where they skinned the animal alive. who knows where your brush hair comes from as they don't include that information. I don't share this to horrify you but to bring awareness 😊 it all starts by knowing what you support by what you buy or pay for. that counts for everything. 🙏

[@geslinam9703]

I love sable brushes....have to admit. But, I do buy synthetic brushes, and am always looking for good ones because I’d like to stop buying sables. I got two of these quill style Casaneo brushes a few weeks ago, a size 0 and a 2, and so far I’m really pleased. I hope they hold up well long term, because some of the other synthetics I’ve tried, like the ones Escoda makes, they are great when you first get them, but they don’t keep a nice point. I’d say the best Escoda sable is the Prado

[@BrendaArtist]

@@geslinam9703 Raphael softaqua imitation squirrel is very good as well. always when they are wet they have that original shape emediatly and I have used it a lot for a year now and it's still fine. I am pleased with da vinci casaneo as well. I have a old favourite from Vincent but that one specific is not available anymore. my advice would be Raphael and Da Vinci synthetic watercolour brushes 😊

[@geslinam9703]

Brenda's watercolour fantasy art thanks for the advice. I have several Raphael sables and they are the best. I will take a look at their synthetics.

[@asiaoharasbutterflies9425]

Why would they skin them alive? That makes no sense .. Wouldn't it be more difficult? And squirrels can be eaten .. Can't they just get a haircut without them getting killed? You should also look up where your synthetics come from if they don't recycle. It has caused wars and permanent damage to the ocean and then some.

[@BrendaArtist]

@@asiaoharasbutterflies9425 nope no squirrel is going to sit quietly for a haircut. the video I seen about brush making says clear the animals are hunted. means killed. skinning alive goes by tying each paw down on a board so they can't move. I have seen it. I speak from what I have seen not heard. the rest you mention.. humans are a very destructive conflicting species. there is always war and usually about religion. the other points you mentioned... are you justifying animal cruelty because of those points or??? 🤔 cruelty of a being with a beating heart is never okay. no justification is possible for it. either quick humane death or no death at all.

[@lorijones9579]

Dick Blick has five sizes of travel rounds in this series. Jackson's seems to have at least a couple of "pocket brushes," that look just like the travel brushes. Good news for urban sketchers.

[@sunnyschramm9650]

7:18 my casaneo series 498 No. 2 is not even close to the sharpness of yours - even its the same brush 😞 had to buy a da vinci dartana spin 7 to get this sharpness.

[@lisathaviu1154]

I just looked on line, and they do have travel rounds in 6, 8 and 10 at Blick.

[@JustMe-uc1lt]

Very interesting, thank you

[@janinam4382]

This brush seems great! A little expensive for me but this might be something to get in the future. Do you know how they compare to the Princeton Neptunes? (If you have tried them)

[@teohyc]

I've not tried Princeton Neptunes before so I can't say much.

[@janinam4382]

@@teohyc Aah ok.

[@allisondakin6681]

I have both and find that Neptunes behave more like the squirrel in his video how they stay bent. I prefer this brush for the level of control but I use both regularly :)

[@janinam4382]

@@allisondakin6681 Ooh I see. Yes, I think I would prefer just a little bit more control myself.

[@j.p.retnugh3924]

I have both the Princeton Neptunes and the Casaneo brushes and I find that they both hold a lot of water but like the squirrel brush when wet, the Princeton brushes remain curved a bit rather than becoming straight and pointed. I like both and could live with either one if necessary but given the choice it would be the Casaneo.

[@WiltingSoul]

This was a really good review on these brushes! Have you tried the 490 series that are a Quill/rigger hybrid? I'm wondering how they compare to the Quill wash brushes from the video. I can't decide which ones to buy. Right now my go to brushes are size 2 and 6 rounds from the Princeton Aqua-Elite line, but I want something a bit more versatile.

[@teohyc]

Series 490 should be good for painting details, e.g. thin lines, without frequent reloads.

[@PaigeEscapes]

Thank you so incredibly much Teo. This is incredibly helpful. I need a larger brush desperately. I currently have a silver black velvet size 8 ( my largest’good’ brush) and was debating on if I should get a larger brush Or A da Vinci casaneo mop/wash brush. They come to a pretty good point like a SBV brushes don’t they? Is the da Vinci casaneo mop size 2 a lot bigger than a silver black velvet 8 or 12? Or would it be better to get a size 3 mop? I am worried the size 3 may be a bit too big perhaps as I do paintings less than a4 ( maybe a size 0 would be fine? I’m so unsure). Also have you tried the newest Princeton aqua elite brushes ( not the Princeton elite) or the da Vinci casaneo round brushes? Thank you so much again!

[@teohyc]

For mop brushes, you can go with Casaneo or any squirrel brush depending on your budget. The Casaneo is slightly more springy so it can be used as a large round brush too

[@PaigeEscapes]

Teoh Yi Chie thank you so incredibly much Teoh!!!! I really do think the casaneo moo is a good choice for me! May I ask, would the size 2 casaneo mop brush be about as big as a round size 10 or 12 silver black velvet round?

[@teohyc]

@@PaigeEscapes Not sure about sizes for Silver Black Velvet. Their sizes are slightly different from other brands. For brush sizes, you can check out the manufacturer's websites and/or Jackson's Art

[@9Lumberjack6]

I'm not that familiar with it, but I also have the da Vinci and in the same size. When I put a little pressure on it, it doesn't always return to its original shape. Then it is also slightly sideways. ^^'

[@edysetiawanwijaya1412]

This or Silver Black Velvet, Teoh?

IMO, silver Black Velvet for smaller brushes, this for quills in much larger sizes like in the video.

Teoh, I went to Amazon to see about buying the #2 Casaneo brush. Right after the listing for #2 , was a listing for a 3 brush Casaneo set. The description does not list brush sizes. There is one large brush that could be a #2. Do you have any idea what the brush sizes are? If there was a #2 in the 3 brush set, it would be a better deal. I was just trying to purchase them so you would get the commission! You probably won't read even read this...but I would appreciate your input. 😦

[@teohyc]

You mean the set 4250DV? That's a size 2, same as the one in my video. It's a large brush. That set seems worth the money. Before you buy, you can click through my affiliate link above

[@Jennifer-wr9si]

Hmmm. Have you tried the cosmotop mix b lines? I find no matter how nice a pure synthetic I buy, it just releases water too fast. Hate my Neptune mop and escoda synthetic sables. The cosmotop line is a nice blend of real and synthetic.

To be honest, I only buy synthetic brushes because I like how bouncy they are as they snap back to their points. After reading about how animals are treated in order to make real haired brushes, I'm very glad that I never got into using them...

Hi Teoh! I'm totally new to watercolours but am loving them & your useful reviews during our 2020 time-out.

Hey Teoh! Not that long ago I watched a video of yours where you compared papers with different cotton contents and the Fabriano Rosaspina was one of them I think. It impressed me greatly with its smooth blending capabilities. A friend of mine asked me to paint her a picture for her wedding, and I want to make something really nice for her. Would you actually recommend this paper for painting purposes even though I believe it was designed for printmaking you said?

Rosaspina works like high quality watercolour paper. It's is off white though. Slightly creamy in colour.

[@palmirafarkash1492]

I am very much in love with the Casaneo as well! I would however caution - the regular rounds are no where near as good as the quill. They don't hold their point very well and they are very limp. Don't know what the did different in the quill brushed, or why, but the quills are absolutely amazing, the rounds are not as good in my opinion. I wish I knew why they couldn't make the regular rounds to be as good as the quills...

[@teohyc]

That's strange

[@labaccident2010]

I just use the size 2 quill for most everything now

[@palmirafarkash1492]

Judy's Art Adventures Yes, in that regard it’s amazing. I still use the my round for backgrounds or bigger loose washes, the are amazing for when I want to be loose and don’t need detail, but the inconsistency is disappointing. Try asking to replace it with the no. 0 quill brush. It’s about the size of the no. 8 round but comes to a point and less limp. It’s one of my favorite brushes to this day. The one thing I dislike about it is how thin the no. 0 quill handle is - that bugged me, but with time I got used to it. I wish I could put the no. 0 quill brush head on the no.6/8 round handle haha!

[@palmirafarkash1492]

Judy's Art Adventures I’m so happy to hear you’re happier with the new brush! Indeed it has been a long time since I bought the round, so hopefully they did improve it with time and the tip and snap will hold with use. If you ever get the quill I would love it if you could let me know your thoughts - I’m curious if they actually managed to make the rounds and quills similar by now. If they did, I might consider picking up a new round to try it again as I prefer it’s handle.
