These are the best paint brushes that I have ever worked with. The bristles will not shed on your painting as you're creating your work, and they are very easy to care for and will not stain, no matter what type of paint you use. These brushes seem like they were specially designed with an artist's hands in mind because they feel so natural when holding them; I feel in complete control of every speck of paint that I apply to my canvass. I have attached a painting that I created with these brushes, and you can see how neat and precise the intricate parts of the painting are, particularly the blades of grass, petals of the flowers, and rays of the sun. With brushes this finely made, I can paint my name in cursive just as impressively as I can write it with an ink pen, and that says a lot for the precision of these brushes. ...And one thing more that I would like to ad is that they came in a velvet-like drawstring bag that was placed inside a canister, which means that storing the brushes will be much easier. Everything about this set of brushes speaks to the care and consideration that this manufacture invested into this product, and as n artist, I certainly do appreciate it.
