Review on ZenART Watercolor Paint Brushes - Smart 6 pc Black Tulip Synthetic Squirrel Hair Short-Handle Watercolor Brush Set for Consistent Flow - Ideal for Gouache, Watercolors, Fluid Acrylics, Inks - Vegan-Friendly by Amanda Castillo

I've been using these brushes for a few weeks now and love them more and more each time. The brushes look great. Shiny and black with a red tip at the end. The curve on the handle is in the right place and, most importantly, the right size for a comfortable grip. The bristles are springy like a sable, recurring to a pointed end or sharp edges while holding quite a bit of water, like squirrel brushes. With synthetic brushes, the tips of the round brushes sometimes curve and you don't get many dots, but that didn't happen with these. The handles are large and rounded, slightly larger than most brushes. It feels good in your hands and they are all well balanced. You can paint whatever you want with these 6 brushes. The cat's eye holds a lot of water, which you can apply in broad stripes or draw fine lines with the tip. The flat ones do the same thing, but also allow you to create clean, straight lines with just a touch of the bristles. The workhorses in this set are of course the ammo. Both reach a surprisingly sharp peak and contain more water than you might think. You don't need a tiny round brush when using it. They're good enough to get into really difficult areas with spikes. And the rigging is just the right size for all but the thinnest of lines. A little pressure gives a thicker line and a little less pressure gives a nice thin line.
