Professional Watercolour Brushes Synthetic Set - 6 Faux Squirrel Watercolour Paint Brushes for Gouache, Acrylic, Ink and Wet Media. Beginner-Friendly with Great Flow Control and Snap - by ZenART

Wow what a beautiful set of well made brushes, they comprise of synthetic and natural hair. On receiving my set I was amazed how well the brushes were presented, the brush roll looks better than the picture on Amazon, it has a silky feel to it and the brushes are well protected in the case and do not rub against one another. The brushes themselves need a pre wash to remove any protective residue, also it's advisable to give them a second wash to allow any loose hairs, this is normal and will only be the odd one or two. One of my brushes has a slight curve in the handle but after contacting the company they promptly apologised and then said they are sending a replacement, wow what a service it was lightning fast and a very pleasant experience. I will definitely be buying more from this company as they put the customer first and quality. The brushes are exquisitely designed with the artist in mind and hold a lot of water when I'm painting watercolour.If you want a fantastic brush set you cant go wrong with this set, there is a lot of brushes that would cover most works, the detail brushes work exceptionally well and the tips are stiff enough for extra fine detail.I take my hat off to this company for a really nice brush set, well presented and well made.Thank you.

I bought my set back in 2019 and have used them regularly. I use at least one brush from this set per painting - I just happen to because they are excellent and my go to. I always reach for them. I dont remember if they shed in the beginning when I first got them but I think I would have remembered if they did, so I doubt it. I love this set. 4 years of use and they still look brand new, no shedding, no frayed hairs. I only bought the one set in 2019 and I havent repurchased because there was no need to but Im thinking about buying another set just in case something happens to mine or they stop selling them and also to support the brand.Ive only used these for watercolours and ink. Acrylic and oil arent really my preferred media so I cant speak for them

These watercolour brushes are simply perfect, a beautiful design that is well balanced and comfortable to hold. Their water/pigment holding abilities are of a professional standard but the price is truly affordable. I would recommend these brushes to students who wish to take their art further, and to professionals who want to add to their brush collection. Would definitely purchase more individual brushes in the future xXx

Im no expert, purely a hobbiest but these brushes are lovely. Nice to hold and great to use. Only used them a few times but i like them a lot. Perfect transition for me as i move from beginner level on to keen enthusiast. So far so good.

I was lucky enough to get a voucher for my birthday- and have had these on my wish list for a while.I have just received them and had a quick try.I am extremely new to watercolour painting - but can tell these are going to make the journey so much easierI am highly impressed- the price for the set is brilliant tooI have tried other brushes that were cheaperBut the quality of these is definitely worth the investment- don’t feel you are too novice for them

The brushes I bought had a slight problem with one of them. Customer care did an excellent job and I am very happy with the result.

Very good

I've been using this brushes for a while now. I love using the flat brushes to apply my first wash on smaller painting. It's also very good in lifting watercolour paint. The round brushes maintains its point however, it's doesn't hold much water and paint so I find myself dipping the brush all the time. Also, it's now £5 cheaper than the last time I bought it? It's still worth your money though.

Truly outstanding brush quality, extraordinary price , and a noteworthy company -- and that is despite having a significant issue with my order. Let me explain...I am new to watercolor (as in only discovered this medium about 8 weeks ago), but I quickly learned *the quality of your artwork is directly proportional to the quality of your tools* If you paint with chalky cheap paints, your art will look chalky and cheap. If your paper is not high quality, your art will not be either. And no matter how clever your hands, you MUST have a decent brush to make the marks you want. I bought the proper quality pigments, an acceptable cotton paper, but was struggling to find decent AND affordable watercolor brushes.When I found ZenArt's Tulip Brush set, I honestly worried they were too good to be true. But... they were the best I could find in our price range, so my husband gave them to me as an anniversary gift. I was SO excited when they arrived. Seriously giddy.My hopes were immediately dashed however.* 5 out of 6 of these brushes had extremely loose ferrules. I could twist them fully around and even bend one almost 5° within the ferrule! I was devastated. I contacted the company immediately. Within 24 hours, Ryan, from ZA responded personally. He explained that this is rare, and that ZenArt took their product's quality and customer's satisfaction very seriously. They would send me a new set ASAP. In the meantime, I could do what I wanted with the defective originals.Well, of course, I decided to try them out while I waited. I just had to be cognizant of the wobbly handles and hold the brush more like a pencil. The unfinished painting of the lake/canoe (above) is one I did with the original wobbly set. So far, not bad, but I will get into that more below.Today is the first day I have had the new set and the half completed dog painting in my sketchbook is being done solely with the new Tulip set. I am letting a section dry atm, and am so overwhelmed by how well these brushes perform, I just had to review them now.Now that you know about the loose ferrule issue, here are my other observations...1. The brushes keep their shape beautifully. Seriously, they snap back together instantly. One of the wobbly rounds fell from its drying position overnight onto its tip (I know, cue the panic!). It dried bent. I rewetted it first thing that next morning and it stayed bent (eek!). So I drenched the bristles in Gum Arabic solution and gently rolled it back into position, let it dry, and voilà! Good as new ever since.2. The tips are perfect fine points. The rounds, rigger and cat's tongue have astonishingly fine points. Easily able to produce thick smooth marks with a little pressure or fine lines with only a little finesse. After over a month of near daily use (and even some incidental abuse) the points are still perfect.3. Not a single bristle has fallen out. And thats with the ferrule issue.4. They hold a lot of water and release it smoothly. I don't have any fancier brushes to compare to, but more than once I've been amazed at just how much pigment these brushes can hold before you must reload. Yet they also dry very nicely, even over some of the humid days we've had this summer.5. The flat brushes snap back into place immediately as well, with very little splitting. If you want to paint a perfect swatch, these are your brushes. The edges of the flats, too, make fine lines exactly as you want.6. Finally, as to the loose ferrules, those even snugged up with use, so the brushes can be held more loosely and they hardly wobble at all. I am not sure they will fit so nicely once the humidity is gone this winter, but for now, they are exemplary despite this defect.I am glad I decided to wait to review these brushes, because I needed time to realize that they absolutely deserve 5 stars. Even despite the defects, this watercolor brush set is outstanding for beginning watercolorists. The brushes are forgiving for minor errors, and make absolutely lovely marks on the paper when you need them to. I look forward to expanding my ZenArt supplies, because this company is doing it right. Mistakes happen to everyone, but not everyone handles them with as much integrity as ZA does. And these brushes are absolutely amazing. Thanks you, Zen Art!

Underbara penslar med bra hållbarhet och funktion

I purchased these brushes for a couple of reasons: first, because they are synthetic, I truly couldn’t paint with a brush made from animal hair, regardless how good it would be. Second, this set has the “Cat tongue” brush, which I really wanted to try with my paintings, a brush that is harder to find. I can not say how satisfied I am with this purchase. The brushes are by far not only for beginners. They feel very well in my hand, not too small, not too big, not heavy or light. Just right! They hold water very well, very nice to paint with them... Now, I will have to keep using them and see how well they last!

Pour professionnels aussi.Je les adore.Ils me conviennent parfaitement ,moi qui aime le format A3 aquarelle .Excellente qualité.
