DUGATO Artist Filbert Paint Brushes Set 13pcs, Soft Anti-Shedding Nylon Hair Wood Long Handle for Acrylic Oil Watercolor Gouache Paint by Numbers (13pcs)

Excellent paintbrushes. Students willl be using these, and they’ll get used and used, so we need a good value. I’ve used these brushes before and they help up pretty well.

I was looking for a decent filbert brush set and I had ordered a few and wasn't really happy with them. I was trying to stay around $10, but the ones I ordered in that range weren't that well made. 80% of the ferrules were all loose. I returned those and bought these. They were about $5 more, but the quality of the brush overall was much better. The fibers were all in tact and not misshapen. I didn't realize that they were a longer handle than I wanted, but that wasn't much of a deal breaker. I decided to keep them because I really liked the overall quality of them. I definitely recommend them. Keep in mind these aren't the best monewy can buy, but for needing a bunch of brushes on the cheap, they're worth it. I haven't used them to paint, but if I have any other issues like the hairs falling out or anything, I'll come back here and update.

They are beautiful and incredibly soft. Heads are tight; nothing seems loose. I don't know why the handles are so long, but I accept it and figure there must be a reason.

The brushes are good.. the only thing that was annoying was the handles are to long. I used a favorite brush I already had and cut the handles down to a length that works better for me. The handles are made of very soft wood covered in a plastic type lacquer or coating. Overall they will be serviceable.

A good number of sizes. The brushes feel good and high quality. I’m already using them for things I would have done with flats.

They came with a light coating of something like Master's brush preserver which dries to a light powder. That was thoughtful and as such, the bristles are all in perfect shape. I washed them vigorously in warm water aggressively and looked into the water. No fibers in the water. They all stayed on the brush. After drying, I would call the feel of these "perfect for glazing oil paint" and, very good for transparent paints in all conditions which require soft bristles. They're not "very soft" but they are thin fibers and soft synthetics. I don't do impasto or out of the tube paint and if I did, I wouldn't choose "soft". I would say, "soft with reasonable control for liquid paint". The paint job on the birch is sexy. It's transparent and oak stain color with a laquer. The ferrell is double clamped. Truly, I have $1500 in professional brushes and these challenge my decision in purchasing them. They've not "full" heads like Robert Simmons Sapphire. I would say, more like 25% less head than Princeton Heritage and 30% less than Sceptre Gold II by winsor. I didn't want a brush that "holds a lot of paint" because I don't paint that way. If these brushes are NOT for you, look for something like Monarch by Winsor or Grumbacher. They put way too much fiber in their brushes for my taste and would be "bushy" if that's what you want. I'm going to use these for realism, like blades of accurate but brushless strokes.

Soft Easy to use and clean

Enjothe variety of the package, and it added another dimension craft.

These are some of the most affordable brushes I bought for acrylics. I competed about 7 to 8 artworks with this set and have no complaints so far.

nice brushes, can recommend, will buy again.

High quality and all that I hoped for

The quality of the brush hair is good, but they’re definitely not meant to be used for oil painting. This is how it looks like after 2 uses. I ruined 3-4 more brushes from this set. Will use the rest only for acrylics.

Great quality and size
