COMIART Clay Sculpture Tools Silicon Color Shapers Painting Brushes Size 6

Okay, these are cheap. You can tell when you get them that these are VERY cheaply made, but the work as intended. For the price, these are worth it, but don't expect these to last a super long time. I give these maybe about 6 months before they need replaced and for the price, that's worth it to me. If I paid triple the cost and got these.....1 star easy.

I bought these to work with Green Stuff for miniature painting, so keep that in mind as you read on. Green stuff is a bit stiffer to work with than clay, and for my first few uses I really thought the rubber tips were going to pull out, but then I realized that's just how flexible these tools are. You get a good variety of sizes for the money, allowing you to do some pretty decent detail work. If you dip them in water (essential for Green Stuff), they pick up just the right amount to let you work without waterlogging the specific spots you're sculpting. I can honestly say that my work is better for having bought these.

These do work well but there are a few gripes I have with it. 1) The tips are very soft. Usually when the tips are grey in color it's the standard for "medium" firmness. These are translucent grey and VERY soft...even softer than the soft white. Still very much useable for sculpting and good to have in my tool bin but not exactly what i was expecting. 2) This is why it loses a star. The heads on these (the silver metal) are extremely loose and fall right off. Had to epoxy them on so they wouldn't keep moving and dropping off the tool. The actual silicone seems to be pretty sturdy in the metal but the metal to wood part is very loose. Other than that, great tools, good price. Just be aware of the above when purchasing ;)

I use these in my watercolor art practices for different textures and I like their durability.

Great tools. I used mostly for clay. But also when working with the glue gun. Since they are silicone, the glue will not stick and leaves a nice smooth finish if left on the spot of hot glue until it cools. Works better than using your finger and getting burned! When using with clay it will have some movement so you don't really mess up your project, just feels like an extension of your finger but better since it can fit and mold into crevices that a hard tool would mess up. The rubbery movement of this tool and that fact that it is flexible makes working with it great for these types of projects. Also can use for applying paint or glue to projects.

I took a risk and purchased this brush set even though so many customers mention the brushes easily fall apart at the ferrule and handle connection. I really wanted these for the size so I went for it. Sure enough, I checked how secure the tips were and the first one I touched busted off! Luckily it’s the only one, and the one I’m least interested in using. But I’m sure glue will easily fix the issue. I’ve used them a few times now and haven’t had any other issues.

Nice and small for the miniature modelling that I want to do

These are good enough if you are buying them for kids who will only tear them up. I actually will buy more to give as gifts for my young students. If you are an artist or hobbyist, consider these as trash. They are crooked. They fall apart with use. The silicone is too soft. The geometry of the tips is poorly designed. The price and quality mean these are only fit for children. If you are an adult, you will want the real deal, made by Royal Sovereign.

Perfect for my project, good quality product!

Does what it says on the tin. Very handy to have.

I'm most disappointed with these paint shappers. I wasn't expecting these to be top notch quality for the price, for sure. Truth to be told, the silicon nibs and metal ferrule parts are OK. They allow me to experiment with different brush strokes and techniques and are helping me make my mind about those that I 'd d like purchased good quality. I also like that each brush has a different coloured handle. However, the handles come off easily even before using them, all of them, as they are screw-like but not really screwed as per my photo. They can be put in easily, but I have to take care that they don't come off when I'm painting. So I'll have to glue them or cover the joints with insulating tape. UPDATE 14/10/22 What I said above still stands. However, I put insulating tape around the ferrule, in the part that connects to the handle, and this has made the trick. I keep the brushes in water for quite a while and no issue. For the rest, I use these brushes all the time, almost on a daily basis, with acrylics, adhesives and different mediums and they're great. I hope they fix the handles-tip connection because they are great for the rest. I've added an extra star to my rating.

You can’t tell online what these tools will be like. Actually they are too soft for what I need.

Nothing remarkable. Good for doing some of the finer detail work with my polymer clay
