You get what you pay for, ish

So I paid $66 for it and saw both positive and negative reviews. I knew it was nylon bristles that break, but I mean about 20 of my bristles just fell out all over the place. Another 20 or so (some of which overlapped) weren't fully covered and we dried up quickly. As for the markers I was able to use fully, they blend well with water and the water brush in my pack was pretty standard. (I have both the ones that just came in the material and the ones I bought). They work well together on watercolor paper, but I sampled on mixed media paper and it soaked up the ink fairly quickly. As an artist, I know I shouldn't rub a brush on paper unless I'm trying to pick up a cheap or old brush, but I felt like I really had to brush to get an even, smooth color out of them. They're definitely not planner friendly, they soaked right through my Scribbles That Matter magazine. I usually get by with a small amount of watercolor paint and I've used them as sparingly as possible and they are soaked through. I will use them and I know the price is cheap but for what I got they are hardly worth the price. I would say they are worth the price if they come as is with no bristles dried out and falling out.

Pros
  • Painting, art supplies
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled
