Mont Marte ACRYLIC BRUSH SET 11PCS

When I washed the brushes, a few strands of hair came off. I expected better quality for the first use.

These brushes are ok for someone just starting to paint but nothing really to write home about. I had to cut off some errant bristles in some cases. Basically they are cheap brushes so don't expect anything else.

Muy buen producto. Fue lo que esperaba

I'm by no means an experienced artist, but I cannot find anything to not like about these. They are very sturdy and work well with both acrylics and watercolor. I did not clean my brushes well enough the other night when I was working with acrylic. Many of the brushes (not all from this set) that I had been using had dried paint on them the next day. The brushes from this set were the most forgiving and cleaned up perfectly. All of them have retained their shape through several uses in the hands of an inexperienced painter. I find their length to be perfect; they don't feel travel-sized although they are quite compact. They are easy to handle and unlike longer brushes, they never topple out of my water container. Also when they arrived the product packaging was different than I expected, but a little nicer (not glamorous or anything) than I expected.

These brushes are quite lovely but I do not think they should be advertised for acrylic painting specifically. The brushes have very fine bristles and would be pretty great for water colouring as well. But I still use them for my acrylic painting and I find them pretty good. Like all brushes, even the highest quality and best in the world, these brushes should not be left in water or with paint on them for more than a few minutes. Even the highest quality brushes get ruined that way. I rinse and wipe these immediately after using them and hopefully they should be as good as new for a long time to come.

I bought these cause I lost my Meeden brush set that's just like this one, so far they're exactly the same. This set is cheaper than the Meeden currently is, and they seem to perform the same. They aren't shedding or wiggly at all, they have a nice stroke, they have a nice case, winners all around.
