The Da Vinci College set gives student painters five synthetic brushes for oil and acrylic: two round (sizes 2 and 6) and three flat (4, 8 and 12). The strong, elastic filaments hold a point and clean up easily, and the long lacquered handles with seamless ferrules are a step above most student brushes. It suits beginners and hobbyists who want a small, dependable starter set rather than a large bundle. Compared with budget school sets, the German-made vegan construction and tidy ferrules are the main draw; the trade-off is a narrow size range and no specialty shapes.

Owners and reviewers rate the College set as a solid, affordable starter kit for acrylic and oil. They like the springy synthetic hair, the clean ferrules and the comfortable long handles, and several note the brushes keep their shape after repeated washing. The main complaints are the limited selection of shapes and the small size range.
The Da Vinci College set contains five assorted brushes for liquid acrylic and oil painting, including private study. The bristles are synthetic fiber that is strong, elastic and easy to clean. The set is 100% vegan.
Each brush has a long handle with a non-slip surface and a seamless ferrule. The handles are sustainable wood with a water-based matte lacquer. Da Vinci has handmade its handles in Germany since 1890 and states that its manufacturing is certified green.
