Hi Chris:I am using an assortment of those brushes (pointed rounds 2,4,8), just finished a gouache project. I'm using the series 4050 . I looked at these for any long bristled flats, but they only make short stubby brights, which is not what I'm in need of.
I tried the Princetons, because they are easily available to my students. Gouache is harder on brushes, so I wanted to try these synthetics. They have some good qualities, and was happy with the work. Just ordered a 3/0 to go with the set for I had to sacrifice a w/c brush for the really small stuff.
I don't like using the same brushes for gouache and transparent watercolor.
Happy Painting in the new year!
Cheers,
Linda

It sounds crazy but - Princeton Synthetic Sable brushes. I use the watercolor rounds and am impressed with them. They're an inexpensive brush which works very well, hold a lot of pigment and hold up. heresy.
