Silver Brush Limited SLM-3099 Susan Louise Moyer Basic Set, Paintbrushes for Watercolor, Gouache, Inks, & Dyes, Set of 3, Sizes 4, 8, and 12 Round Brushes, Short Handle

I just started watercolor painting as a result of the whole outbreak thing, and although I discovered that it is something I really like to do, I had such terrible brushes that I threw them out after two uses. I did research on better brushes, and although the Silver Brush Black Velvets are not cheap, they came highly recommended from many professional artists. They’re also much less expensive than many high end brands also recommended. I picked a trio of round brushes with pointed tips in smaller to medium sizes. The brushes were delivered with super speed (the initial arrival time was changed from end of April to this coming Saturday, but they were ACTUALLY delivered yesterday (Thursday). All three brushes were pristine on arrival and appeared durable.There’s a learning curve for any art, and watercolor is definitely a challenge for someone like me who is not artistically inclined with paints. I can’t even paint a WALL. Getting to know how much water and paint these lovely brushes each hold is quite the study in patience and perseverance because they’re SO water loving, but that’s not by any means a flaw. They are a pleasure to paint with for washes of color and tiny details alike, and the price of a three pack is pretty reasonable for the great quality. I’ll definitely be ordering more brushes from this company. I’m very pleased and so glad I found something that works and that doesn’t make my inner frugal girl go absolutely insane.
