Creative Mark Artist Paint Brush Set - Mimik Synthethic Squirrel Short Handle Paint Brushes - Assorted Sizes - Try Me Pack - 5 Pieces

I have wanted to try this set for the last few years and each time that I would put into my cart, I would allow my brain to save for later which put other watercolor brushes ahead of these and I NEVER should have done so! I used them as soon as they arrived and the picture shown (although no masterpiece) is the result. These are the best for beginner’s and it’s worth the cost (which is for any budget that is at low) and also for those intermediate and professional. They hold water and paint almost as good as the more expensive brands but, even better than the typical Princeton, “Snap,” set because they also maintain that perfected point for florals and leaves. The ease of cleaning in between paint colors, just after mixing colors or even after your piece is complete is simple with a run under water until the water is free from colors and running clear. Just lay flat to air dry and then put them back into your paintbrush holder for the next use and you are all done. The quality of the wood used for the handles is thick and sturdy and the color is unique to stand out from the rest of your collection. So glad that I finally made this purchase and now, I will begin the same purchase journey for the rest of this brush collection!

Good product for WC painting. The rigger is especially good as it is very thin and pointed for line drawing. I find the brushes as a whole soft and flexible. I haven't worked with all of them yet, but they do seem good for my purposes. I am not a professional.

I love how much water/pigment these brushes hold! A couple of the brushes lose hairs which is annoying when I have to pick them off while painting. But overall I’m glad I purchased them.

These are some of the better synthetic watercolor brushes I've bought. They noticeably hold more water than my other synthetic brushes while maintaining their fine point. The size 6 and 8 brush can give solid washes as well as fine details with their precise point. Now, instead of needing multiple brushes for an illustration, I can count on one brush if needed. But I will say, I don't think the sizes are standardized because these don't match my other brushes. The size 6 round is similar to my 3 round in my other sets, the 10 round is closer to my 6 rounds. To me these brushes are a little small, but I'm okay with that because it suits my needs well. They also have a nice snap, returning to their shape after pressure is applied. I've noticed the length of the bristles are also longer which I think aids in the amount of water they hold, and their ability to hold their point while saturated. I would definitely recommend these brushes for beginners, intermediate artists, or any artist looking for good brushes on a budget.

I'm waiting for this brushes about years, and finally I got it! First of all, the package was open and had 2 cut. But the brushes are in a good condition, and thanks God for this! Also this order took so long! And I think, someone opened and then, they packed it up again, in my opinion...because the plastic bag of the brushes have cuts. Talking to the product, this brushes are very good quality, retained water and paint, they are very soft, and I love them!!! In the last photo, I try this brushes to see their performance, and they are wonderful!

These are really soft brushes that work well for watercolor. The bristles stay together when painting.

I wanted to try these after seeing post it ice reviews from online artists. Lovely brushes for sketching and full illustration. They have a nice snap and hold a decent amount of water and pigment. Love the fine tips on the different sized rounds. It’s a nice versatile set that gives you a basic range for different strokes and the flat brush is nice for small washes. The synthetic hairs give it enough stiffness for good control but the bristles are soft enough to make nice washes and clean strokes. Easy to use. I recommend for beginners and pros.

These are a wonderful set of brushes and at a great price. As a colorist, not artist, I usually use a Zig Detailer water brush which is a good brush but I was impressed at how much more precision I can get with these brushes used on my adult coloring books. I was pleasantly surprised. I bought a set of Mei Ling watercolor paint and went to town mixing my colors and found these brushes can hold a good amount of water and pigment without leaving a soppy mess. The bristled hold up well without fraying or losing their shape.

keep their shape and hold water well.

The bristles are long and floppy with no snap. I think the only one I'll use is the #2 round. They do have good points but again, they are too hard to control (for my style of watercolor painting at least).
