Product Description

Economy Brush Bundle... An unbeatable deal. Beginners will appreciate this extraordinary value. These brushes are made in China to keep prices low. They have aluminum ferrules instead of the more expensive brass ferrules. They are a higher quality than the 12 piece Economy Brush Set and are packed with a nice canvas brush holder. This set includes 18 Flats and Rounds in Sizes 1 to 8 and 10.

3.0 out of 5 stars Decent, November 11, 2009

I picked these brushes up from Michael's for $4.99 - a great price for all the brushes. I highly recommend being very extra thorough in cleaning the brushes prior to first use as after a casual cleaning to get the starching agent out, the brushes lost quite a few hairs on the first use. This problem has since resolved itself and while they're not my favourite brushes by any means, they are decent. Great for a beginner or someone who just wants to play around. :)

I recently tested these brushes by doing two projects. One was an acrylic painting on canvas, and the other was doing acrylic dry brushing technique on hand carved wood. These brushes were perfect! No bristle loss while painting on canvas. They held their shapes very well. They "loaded" paint wonderfully. During the dry brushing technique on wood again they performed beautifully. On one of the pieces of wood I needed to scrub a little harder than usual to get into some deeply carved detail and the bristles held! No bristle loss and while they tended to flair a little bit during the process they regained their shape when cleaned, formed and allowed to dry. I highly recomend this set. Don't let the low price fool you, they are quality!

4.0 out of 5 stars Mediocore, but great for the price, June 3, 2007

Though you may get what you pay for, these brushes are a steal for the price. They're cheap, and the quality shows the price...yet insofar, none have broken, and now that they're broken-in, they aren't terrible.

Bottom line: certainly not professional quality, but unmissable for the price.
