- Is this set good for a complete beginner?
- Yes. The range of shapes and sizes lets a beginner try different strokes and media without committing to individual brushes. Expect to replace them once you settle on a medium and want better spring and snap.
- Can I use these brushes with oil paints?
- They are aimed at water-based media such as watercolor, acrylic and gouache. For oils and solvents, natural-bristle or dedicated synthetic oil brushes hold up better.
- How do I stop the bristles from shedding?
- Wash with mild soap, reshape the tip by hand and dry them flat or bristles-down. Never leave brushes standing in water, which loosens the ferrule and warps the bristles.
- What is included in the set?
- Twenty brushes in assorted shapes and sizes, mostly rounds, flats and detail or liner brushes. No case, palette or other accessories are part of the set.
- Are the handles really FSC certified?
- The set carries an FSC third-party label, which means the wood in the handles comes from certified, responsibly managed sources.
- Where is the Afoxsos Artist Paint Brush Set 20 Pcs cheapest?
- At Lowe's, for $51.98, as of our latest check.
