TRANSON13pcs Round Paint Brush Set Synthetic Bristle Complete Round Brush Set for Watercolor Acrylic Gouache Ink Tempera

I'm a watercolor artist and I wanted a set of synthetic cruelty free brushes that would mimic the design and quality of a Kolinsky Sable brush but without the animal cruelty. I ordered these without much expectation, because of the low price, I figured they wouldn't be very good, but thought it was worth a try. Well known brands of brushes like these tend to be very pricey, Upwards of $10 for one brush, while an authentic kolinsky sable made with animal fur, which I don't support the use of, is even more expensive for one brush. With this product, I got the whole set for under $20 and they are AWESOME!!! Great snap, soft and flexible, the points on the brushes are pristine and make nice fine lines, they hold water and pigment very well and the hairs do not break or shed which often happens with cheap brushes. I will be buying these for life! I'm a very happy customer.

These round brushes contain most sizes needed for beginning painters. I use them for my watercolor class, but they can be used for other mediums such as acrylic too. Sturdy, no loose hairs, and easy to hold, they're a great value. 10/10 I would recommend them.

Bristles are much longer than photo made them appear...a slight negative for me as I prefer shorter ones. Size 24 ferrule was loose from handle but fixed with glue; and lost about 10 hairs rinsing off the glue that had kept it safe during shipping. Fortunately the shedding stopped. Brushes are soft but still have a nice snap (larger brushes have a little less snap). Brushes have a nice point and the weight and feel is nice and comfortable in your hand. Brushes should be shaped before putting them up to dry (not mentioned in the instructions, but it should have been). I recommend the set, especially if you want the larger brushes as they can be very expensive in some places on their own.

I use them for detail in paintings. They work very well.

Worked as advertised. Good value for the money.

These brushes are great. No shedding at all and are perfect round brushes for acrylic painting.

An addition to art supplies

Great value for the money. The bristles keep their shape and are easy to clean. They’re not professional quality, but for the price you seriously can’t beat them. Probably too soft for oils, but they work great for acrylic and gouache (haven’t tried with watercolor).

Die Fasern des Pinsels sind für Acrylfarben nicht gut geeignet. Sie sind zu zart und halten die Farbe nicht gut. Mehr für Aquarellfarben geeignet.

To be honest, I wasn't expecting these brushes to be so good because of the price.I have paid a lot more for brushes which aren't as good.I find I am using them more and more, as they are so useful for delicate work and they give a smooth finish.
