Aqualon Royal & Langnickel Wisp Angular Artist Brush Set, 5-Piece

Pros:They work pretty great for adding depth and dimensions to artwork. Good size variation and decent to clean.Cons:They are a little stiff and I had to keep adding paint to the brush, working with them wet worked best. If you add too much it doesn’t give a desired effect.Conclusion may change my review after I’ve worked with them more. Purchased them for this owl painting I was commissioned to do and thought they would be a great idea to use on the feathers.

My tutorial artist recommended these specific brushes- and I am so glad I got them. I can replicate what she’s doing now, whereas I had much difficulty with other wisp brushes. Thanks Jesse Robertson!

I was so excited to receive these Wisp brushes that as soon as they arrived, I tested them on my painting. The fact that they are angular really helps when creating curves, etc. I've been painting a lot of animals lately and the wisp brush helps save time rather than creating single stroke lines, although in order to create realistic looking fur, it's sometimes necessary to create single stroke feathering at various parts of the animal's body. The 1/8" brush is perfect for painting hair/fur on the animal's face, and I've been searching for this size a long time. I was concerned about the fact that these brushes are designated for acrylic and water color painting, and as an oil painter I was afraid they would be too soft. It is so difficult finding specialty brushes for use with oils, so I was willing to try these as an alternative, and they worked fine! You just have to be sure to dip only the brush tips into the paint so you don't get too much paint that will clog between the separations making it useless for creating separate strokes. The bristles hold the paint well. I would think this would be the same application method for acrylics as well, but having never used that medium I'm just guessing. Amazon no longer has these angular brushes in stock. I must have purchased the last set; however, the straight or filbert style works the same way.

After an online recommendation, I ordered these for watercolor painting. I typically paint animals and this kind of brush works well for fur. Ideally, they would have some with less space between the longer bristles, to give a different effect, but otherwise these have worked out very good so far.

These brushes are great for many specialized painting uses...in my case, feathers on birds. A tip I learned online for all artist brushes to re-shape or retain point is to dip bristles in gum arabic, wipe them off, and let them dry. They will be a little stiff so you can paint directly with them, or bend the bristles a bit to soften them. With comb-brushes, the points are everything, so I pass this along.

You can't beat this brush for painting fur and feathers

good paint brushes! if your lookin for a way to paint hair, feathers ,ect. this isa great investment

I bought this set as recommended by an acrylic paint teacher for painting Raven bird feathers. The smallest brush worked great. I would recommend this set to anyone painting bird feathers or animal fur. Not sure about durability as I have only used them for 1 painting so far. All brushes will eventually wear out depending on how much they are used. I have other Royal & Langickel brushes and they have never lost bristles or arrived defective. Good quality for a reasonable price.

Absolutely perfect brushes - great quality that will last me for years!

No los he probado aún pero tienen buena pinta.

Love these brushes, perfect for making short work of details such as feathers & fur etc. Exactly what I was looking for!
