Dog Cone for Watercolor Brushes Large Dog,Soft Dog Cone-XXL

I am in love with these brushes. I've tried a bunch of different brands (Princeton, Speedball, Windsor & Newton), and these brushes have a great feel compared to those. I've only had them a short time though, but they feel great and the tips bounce right back after painting with them. I can't wait to keep painting with these and see how much they can handle.The size assortment is perfect and I doubt I will need any larger, I could use a smaller tipped brush, but this set is perfect for the price.I highly recommend it for beginners and intermediate painters.

I have just started to paint and was looking for a good set online since I did not want to go to a store. These brushes had good reviews and were on a discount so I went ahead and bought them. They arrived very fast and packaged securely. They look like good quality round brushes and the bristles don’t feel synthetic. The tips of all brushes are precise and helping me with my painting. I would recommend these brushes for beginner students. Also love the free palette brush which I will use for buttercream frosting paintings in future.

The brushes are on the slightly more stiffer side and shorter strands compared to normal watercolor brushes. This is an overall great brush for beginners to help with control.

Holds water really well so be careful when acrylic painting. Still really good for acrylic and perfect for watercolor, I don't use oils yet. Bristles don't fall out or fray. This is a picture after two and a half months. Its a bad picture so they look cheap but the bristles are fine and the handles are still nice- no chipping. Great Buy, totally recommend.

I'm cheap, so I'm not going to pay $10 or more for a single fancy brush. However, after 40 years of acrylic painting, I definitely can recognize a good brush from a bad one. These are the exact shape I need, and they lay down paint in a smooth, professional manner. They have a great point, and retain it after many, many uses and washings. I've never had a problem with bristles coming loose...despite the fact that I am not gentle when I wash them. I'd highly recommend them for use with acrylics.

Good variety

Pros:These brushes are really great for watercolors, I’ve enjoyed using them and you get a variety of sizes for a good price. They hold water well, clean easily and glide on the paper nicely.Cons:One brush has split bristles due to the little plastic tube cover, I had to trim them away.The handles are REALLY long, I mean like super duper long, kind of hard for me as a novice painter to hold.

These brushes had no fallout which is pretty awesome. They do have a glue smell when you open the package, just wash them with warm water and get the glue out of the tips. Easy to use and well made. Good for beginners. The only down fall is the don’t absorb the watercolor off the paper when you get pooling. My watercolor instructor always wanted to make sure they did that.
