I got these watercolor professional brushes because of the extended needle points on the brushes for fine detailing. I saw this set and I knew they would work great for my watercolor paintings. The brushes are synthetic, extra-long pinhead brush with a sable body. I like these brushes because they work well for acrylic gouache ink pads as well as watercolors of all sorts. I find that these brushes work very well with fine line work, detailing, complex textures, and smooth washes. When I paint flowers, these brushes come in very handy for me. The brushes are comfortable to hold and easy to use. I am able to get the tip of the brushes back into their original shape and they keep their shape while being used. This allows me to paint in exact and precise strokes as I intend - no stray marks from frayed bristles. These brushes seem durable enough for what I need them for. These brushes were a good value for the quality and durability. Read more
These look lovely, and perform even better. I've used them for small details and have found they are comparable to more expensive brushes I have. They don't seem to lose hairs or shed, and the variety of sizes is good for having options when painting. I think these are certainly worth the money and great brushes for someone looking to get started. Read more
I will start by saying that I usually use Escoda Reserva kalinski sable short handle brushes. So I am used to expensive high end brushes. So when trying these out, I found myself underwhelmed - which I suppose I should have expected. That being said, these aren't terrible. I do like the look and feel of the wood handles. They came with a little bamboo brush rest, which was kinda cool. They also came with a velvet storage pouch, which isn't a great way to store brushes. The sable portion of the brushes are thick, and the hair is more course than my escodas. They hold a good amount of paint/water, providing a continuous flow, so you don't have to reload often. The long nylon bristles are aquard when you aren't used to this style of brush and takes some getting used to. I don't think the full width of the brush is meant to be used on the page, only the nylon point. These are described as being for fine deatail. I didn't find the point satisfactory for this purpose. It comes to a point, but that point splays very easily with very little pressure. And the point it's self just isn't precise or firm. The point just left alot to be desired and I don't ever see myself using these for fine detail. Plus even the smallest brush in the set isn't all that small. I feel like these are a niche product. I can see these as being excellent for painting long thin continuous strokes, such as stems and blades of grass. If you paint botanicals, these might be useful. So they have their place. For this low price point, they aren't bad. Read more
I found these to be an interesting type of watercolor brush designed for crisp fine lines. The tip is a combination of a center thin pointed nylon brush surrounded by a larger tapered synthetic sable brush. This design promises the ability to lay down a fine line with a large paint reservoir, which should, in theory, provide greater control and consistency of line width, especially on long lines or strokes. The set includes six brushes (sized: 4,8,10,12,14,18) as well as a cloth storage pouch and a plastic bamboo brush rest. Each brush has a wood handle with a metal collar. I found the brushes easy to control, well balance, with a good feel in the hand. The design appears to live up to its promise. The outer sable bundle of fibers surrounding the fine point brush holds paint, acting like a mini reservoir, allowing the paint to flow through to the thin tip through capillary action. The end result is an ultrafine point that holds significantly more paint than a traditional fine point brush. I haven’t used these enough to speak to longevity. So far, the fine tip has retained its shape and the brush heads clean easily. Bottom-line: An interesting style of watercolor brush that is good for fine line detail work, especially beneficial for long strokes with consistent line widths and paint density. Read more
