it came in the mail broken so i had to duck tape it together I think this may be the who ever packaged everything ups fault. you dont take a painbrush and just toss it in with a bunch of other stuff...I had a set of weights in with it and they piled it on top of my paintbrush :( but as long as they package it rite it would have been a great paintbrush. i still use it because i needed it asap and it doesn't stay thing it does get pretty fat when its wet. but i hVE TO CONSTANTLY LICK THE TIP OF THE BRUSH TO GET IT THIN AGAIN. (oops sorry caps lock)

$7 for ONE brush? no thanks i can get it for a lot cheeper. these are great brushes tho. i paint in alkyd/oils and can work with paint straight from the tube with these brushes. they are mostly Indestructible. i often back stroke and scrub and they even hold up to that. they are actually student grade brushes, but lots of professionals use them .they used to be very affordable (i buy in bulk). guess things change.

The University series has wonderful snap and these brushes really hold their shape well. I love them for watercolor and fluid acrylics. The 000 is fantastic for fine details. You will have to reload the brush frequently because, obviously, it won't hold very much color at once. Really does the job when you want precision.

After a friend gave me a brush from this series I enjoyed it so much I bought several more. Great with acrylic paint.

I bought my original #8 University brush decades ago at an art supply house. It has served me well. After all these years, still a great brush, though it is now slightly blue-tinged from using some acrylic house paint.Still, a wonderful brush. Very British. Handle is beautiful and smooth, with an excellent paint job. The metal ferrule is precise. The bristle is strong, uniform and durable in a variety of media. No stray hairs.I like it so much I wanted another.This brush, though it has the same nomenclature, has shorter bristles by about 1/4". Still okay, but stiffer than my original.Certainly not cheap. But clean them after use and they'll last almost forever.

Watercolor artists will not find a more suitable tool for watercolor artwork than Winsor & Newton's size 8 round, short or long handle. The round 8 meets the qualifications to accomplish most watercolor techniques. Unlike sable reds - tacklon synthetic whites hold more color from water well to pallet to paper - and you can see the color on the white brush that will apply to your paper. This particular instrument is what most American universities order by the gross and is provided to art students.Push paint!

For the price of this brush, they should be more careful packaging. I excitedly took it out today to do some very fine detail work (ordered size 00) only to realize it is frayed and some bristles are standing out at an odd angle and dragging on the work. I have a deadline and do not have time to figure out an exchange. Very disappointed. Did not expect this from this caliber of product.Update few weeks later: brush is terrible. It suddenly forks in the middle of painting creating two lines instead of one. Definitely need to buy in person to ensure quality, unfortunately not an option during this time.

I haven't painted in about 30 years, and thought I was getting the brush I learned watercolor with and lived. This brush is as long as my forearm! My fault. But I do believe this would be difficult for many new artists to handle. Other than that, this brush keeps it shape, and it holds a good amount of water.

I use this to apply washes and other thin mediums to miniatures and it does a reasonable job at this. Like all acrylic brushes the tip quickly hooked ever so slightly and it doesnt return to a nice point like a natural hair brush would. However for the abuse washes and other products with lots of flow improver cause to it, this brush is fine.

Brush came with plastic protector around the head and neck, clean immaculateI use the brush for tattoo style water colour paintings it produces consistent colour without streaky brush marks, it's great for either saturating or shading. The brush keeps it's shape impeccably.

Pour la seconde fois (commande de remplacement), pinceau éventail dont les viroles sont mal fermées sur un des côtés => les poils en nylon sont tordus et restent en bataille définitive sur le côté concerné. Cher pour une qualité médiocre.
