In this video, I'll be testing out the Black Tulip Brush Set from @ZenART Supplies I'll go through my first impressions and beginner's tips on buying watercolor brushes. I'll also demonstrate how this brush set performs by painting two different landscape paintings.

Overall, I was impressed with the performance of this brush set - they hold adequate amounts of water, retain their shape, and are made from high-quality materials.

Zen Art Supplies reached out to sent me a sample of these brushes, however I haven't been paid for promoting or creating this video. This brush set is available here through my affiliate links:
