What paints can I use with this set?

Any type: acrylic, watercolor, gouache, oil and tempera. The synthetic filaments suit water-based paints best but handle oils if cleaned with solvent.

What brushes are in the box?

Five brushes: round Series 373 in sizes 2, 6 and 12, and flat Series 379 in sizes 8 and 12.

Is this set good for a beginner?

Yes. The size spread covers detail and broad strokes, and the flexible filaments are forgiving for learners.

Are the brushes vegan?

Yes. Da Vinci states the set is 100% vegan, with synthetic filaments and no animal hair.

How does it compare with natural-hair school brushes?

Da Vinci claims better stroke control and color absorption. In practice, synthetics are easier to clean but hold less water than natural hair.

How should I clean them?

Rinse with mild soap and water, reshape the tip, and dry bristles down. Avoid soaking, which can loosen the ferrule.
