- What brushes are in the set?
- Seven natural-bristle brushes in assorted head shapes and sizes, with long handles and sturdy ferrules. The mix covers fine lines, washes and blending.
- Is this set good for beginners?
- Yes. It gives a range of shapes and sizes at a low cost, so a new painter can try different strokes without committing to expensive single brushes.
- Can I use these with acrylic and oil paint?
- Natural bristles work with acrylic and oil, but clean them promptly and thoroughly. For heavy-bodied paint and long sessions, stiffer synthetic or hog-bristle brushes hold up better.
- How do these compare with synthetic brushes?
- Natural bristles blend and carry water well but shed and wear faster. Synthetic brushes keep a sharper point longer and suit detail work and watercolor better.
- How should I clean and store them?
- Rinse with mild soap and cool water, reshape the bristles by hand, and dry them flat or bristles-up. Never leave them standing in water, which bends the bristles and loosens the ferrule.
