Amagic9Pcs Filbert Art Paintbrush Set with Storage Container - Anti-Shedding Synthetic Nylon with Long Handle - Paint Brush for Watercolor, Acrylics, Ink, Gouache, Oil, Tempera

I love the variety of widths of these brushes, and I also love the angle of the brush end. The synthetic brush bristles are soft without being limp, and they spring back pretty well with a lot of use. I use them for oil paints, but they would work extremely well with acrylic paints as well. I've even used them with some inks - just keep the brushes used with water-based media from getting mixed in with those you've used with oil paints, and you'll be fine. They also come in a handy case, but the real reason I buy them is their quality and the feel of the brush bristles - just what I like. I especially like the larger sizes.

Perfect flat brushes; great price.

If you paint on a smooth surface, like I do - either gessoed and sanded multiple times canvas, or MDF board - these brushes are hard to beat.The bristles are fine and soft, and do a good job of emulating sable. They also hold their shape well, providing you reshape them after use and cleaning, which everyone should do anyway.They don't have a ton of bristles, so you can't load them up the way you can brushes that are packed with bristles, but I'm fine with that. I just load them a little more often.But they are hard to beat for the price. I work in oils, on smooth surfaces, and I'm very happy with them.

I've been using these brushes ever since they arrived and the quality and price are great! They are holding up very well for the watercolor techniques I use. I am pleasantly surprised!

I am s professional artist. I but very expensive brushes for watercolors but for acrylic spending a lot is not necessary. This set exceeded my expectation. Great variety of sizes.

These brushes from this brand were surprising good. I have since ordered a set of each the Flat, the Round, and the Filbert. There are good quality, easy to clean, do not frazzle, hold their point/tip, load easily, and the handle is a good size.

I go college for art and my professors want professional grade materials. These are amazing. I'm currently using them with oil and they are soft to the touch but also stiff enough that they maintain their shape and work with my strokes. In other words, they're great because the artist has complete control over the brush - as it should be. They came in a nice plastic case that snaps shot, and each brush was individually wrapped in it's own plastic seal (which can be reused, I put my brushes back in it after). So far these brushes have been used in oil paint, gamsol, linseed, galykide, Palmolive soap, Dawn soap and hot water and they still have maintained shape and have not frayed or lost hairs. I also haven't experienced any chipping on the handle as I have with other brushes. They look high end and professional, my classmates assumed I spent over $30 for one brush. It's also difficult to tell that they are synthetic. One of my classmate's actually went out and ordered these for herself after checking my set out. I highly recommend this product for students and professionals. For beginners, the quality is pretty high, but for the price it's a steal. If you were in my position comparing brushes, definitely go for these.

Do yourself a favor and read up on exactly what brushes are needed for various types of media. There's no such thing as a multi-purpose brush when it comes to getting results with your art. I took a chance on these, knowing better the whole time, and was disappointed. First, it was obvious a couple have been used and cleaned already. I was okay with that if the brushes were great. If you're looking for a brush for media such as acrylic or oil, or gouache (I work a lot in the latter), don't get these. They're okay for watercolor because they hold a fair amount of water and pigment; however, but they are much too soft and lack the snap necessary for acrylic, oil, or gouache. Once they're wet, they are limp. I'm returning them. I noticed, too, they are identical to the brushes I bought the same day from with the exception of the printing on the handles. One thing I liked with this set was the plastic case that came with them. That was nice!

So pleased with these brushes. Have used every day and they keep their shape. No stray hairs. They have improved my art. Love even more, painting hair. You'll know what I mean when you try them. The medium I use is water mixable oil. I think they would be suitable for other mediums.

good for beginners & amature artist, product is good.

Love these brushes would highly recommend

Great and professional brushes
