Review on Princeton Select Artiste 3750 Round Blender Brush - Ideal for Acrylic, Watercolor, and Oil Painting - 12-inch by Angela Rodriguez

When I first opened the brush pack I was SO excited. The bristles seemed to be of excellent quality, soft, tightly shaped etc. I didn't want to see how well it worked (as most of my brushes aren't very good quality). When I first used it to apply paint it was fantastic. Washed up with water. ONCE. When I pulled the brush out of the water it was like a toddler picked it up. The bristles were EVERYWHERE. And it's been like this ever since. I've never seen a brush do this AFTER ONE RINSE with water. I'm upset as this brush cost over $8! I wish I had bought a brush for 50 cents!
