Is Princeton on Sale? November 2026

Questions and answers

What are Princeton's best brush lines for watercolor?

Velvetouch is the watercolor line most painters reach for, with soft synthetic filaments that hold a point and release water evenly. Aspen synthetic is the stiffer alternative for detail and edge work. Natural bristle sets are better suited to oil and acrylic.

Does Princeton make brushes for oil and acrylic?

Yes. The Real Value natural bristle sets are built for oil and acrylic, with long handles and stiff bristles that push thick paint. Aspen synthetic also works for acrylic, especially for sharper strokes.

Are Princeton brushes good for beginners?

The Real Value sets are the usual starting point: several shapes in one pack, long handles and bristles that hold up to repeated cleaning. Velvetouch and Aspen are worth the step up once you know which shapes you use.

How should I clean and store Princeton brushes?

Rinse with mild soap and lukewarm water, working paint out from the ferrule toward the tip, then reshape and dry flat or bristles up. Never leave brushes standing in water, which loosens the ferrule and bends the filaments.

What is the warranty on Princeton brushes?

Princeton covers manufacturing defects, such as a loose ferrule or shedding on a new brush, through the retailer or the company's customer service. Normal wear from use and cleaning is not covered.

Are there Princeton discount codes?

Deal.ai checks what Princeton products actually cost at every store, so a real markdown shows on this page as a deal as soon as it starts, and each product's page has its price history to tell a sale from its usual price.
