12pk Paintbrush Set

Absolutely fantastic brushes that feel like almost premium quality for a ridiculously affordable price. I’ve just started to get into watercolour painting after a twenty year hiatus and had never actually used real proper brushes to paint with, it’d always been the stupid rubbish quality brushes that came with whatever kids quality paint set I got. These felt akin to the kind of hair on my very expensive makeup brushes, so soft and silky but with the right densities or flexibilities depending on what I need. Haven’t needed to use every brush yet (as watercolour painting is quite a good cheap art where you don’t need a lot of brushes for painting with) but the ones I’ve used (I don’t know their “official” names - the fan brush, the fine liner, the big round brush, the wide flathead brush and the tapered flat brush) have given me so many unique strokes and effects. The flat tapered brush does brilliant grass effects and the wide flathead is brilliant for doing hair and waterfalls as it gives a sort of streaky effect with the watercolour paint. The fine liner is brilliant for fine detail and outlines if you have a very delicate hand but I suppose if it’s still too thick/full for you, you could always use nail scissors and clip some hairs off? I’ve seen maybe one or two hairs shed in total from the set but this could depend on the kind of painter you are, the medium you use and the way you treat them. I don’t leave them in water soaking while not using (so the bristles don’t bend or get ruined and so the ferrules don’t get ruined or the glue inside starts to disintegrate etc). I’ve also been careful to reshape my brushes while damp (when they’re damp after cleaning, just use your fingers to shape the tips back to how they were which I’ve heard will increase their lifespan and the way they perform. They all seem to hold water and colour well (depending on what the brush is) and rinse without clinging onto pigment that will muddy up other colours etc. Am very happy I went with this set, when I saw the price I was honestly a bit wary (for just over a fiver, how good could I expect this to be for good art), but the reviews said it was worth taking a chance on these, so glad I did. As a waterpaint novice, I’m getting some pretty nice paintings. If you’re just starting out, this set is a must have. I’d say even real professional artists would find these brilliant for the artist on a budget.

These are amazing paint brushes and work well as premium ones. They clean very well and they are very easy to use.

I'm using these brushes for watercolour. They are my main brushes so I've been using them a lot. It might be that the wide brushes are more useful for other mediums, but I find for watercolour they tend to split into multiple points so don't give an even brush stroke. I mainly use one just to get the paper wet. However the thinner brushes I've found really useful. They've kept their points and apply colour and moisture really well. I'd have liked an even thinner brush included in the set for really find lines, and maybe less of the wide ones, but overall I think this product has been good value for money for me, and might be even better in other mediums.

purchased a set of paintbrushes for my artistic endeavors, and I am absolutely thrilled with the quality and performance of these brushes. They have truly elevated my painting experience and allowed me to unleash my creativity with ease. I cannot recommend them enough! First and foremost, the craftsmanship of these paintbrushes is exceptional. The bristles are made from high-quality materials that are both durable and flexible. I have used these brushes extensively, and they have held up beautifully without any shedding or fraying. The attention to detail in their construction is evident, making them a reliable choice for all my painting projects

I have purchased these as I do war Games figures 28mm and was looking for a set to use for bulk coverage/blocking out and dry brushing. Anyone who does model figures will tell you dry brushing destroys brushes and no matter how expensive they are, they will be destroyed. So I tend to use old brushes, but having just purchased new brushes I had no old ones left to use. So not expecting too much at this price I bought this set. I am very very pleasantly surprised with the quality. Brushes are nice and soft, hold the paint well and gives a lovely even flow plus no loss of fibres. Now they are no good for small detail work, but I didn’t purchase them for that. As a good general set of brushes these hit the mark. I shall buy them again.

Excellent quality for the price!

They're okay for a beginner or hobbyist, but no more than that. I found that the bristles are not even and that led to uneven brushstrokes. Additionally, after washing they remained very stiff (I use acrylics, and my other brushes aren't affected after washing). Moreover, I think they images are a bit misleading as I expected the brushes to be larger. Perhaps a size guide would be helpful.

good

Je suis novice en la matière mais pour peindre ce que je peins ces pinceaux me vont très bien. Effectivement ils sont précis, se nettoient bien et ma foi une bonne prise en main. N'ont pas perdu les poils à la première utilisation avec de la peinture acrylique donc j'en déduis qu'ils sont de bonne qualité. Donc super produit pour des débutants, a voir dans le temps !

Adoro dipingere, ma sono una frana. Per questo non avevo comprato set di pennelli, pensavo fossero sprecati! In realtà dopo aver provato questi mi sono resa conta che per ottenere risultati migliori un buon pennello è indispensabile! Insomma, hanno fatto la differenza. E' un ottimo set perché: - ci sono diversi tipi di pennelli e di diversa grandezza, perfetti per dettagli piccoli (ma non troppo minuziosi) e per coprire ampi spazi della carta; - quasi tutti i pennelli hanno uno scopo preciso e, prima di utilizzarli, vi consiglio di fare delle prove e creare diverse forme per capire cosa potete farci; - li ho provati sia con i colori acrilici sia con gli acquerelli, in entrambi i casi ho ottenuto buoni risultati; - nel caso dei colori acrilici, si riescono a fare ottime sfumature e a distendere il colore in modo uniforme; - non perde peletti, anche se mi è capitato una volta ma per il fatto che il colore era quasi asciutto e quindi il pennello faceva un po' fatica, ma per il resto tutto ok. Ve lo consiglio tantissimo perché il rapporto qualità-prezzo è ottimo!
