Review on Heartybay 10Pcs Paint Brushes - Perfect For Acrylic, Watercolor, Easter Eggs, Face Painting, And Detail Work by Josh Long

I just wanted a set of cheap paint brushes and these seemed to have good reviews so I bought them. I'm pretty happy with them. All the ferrules are securely attached to the handles, and I haven't had any issues with hairs shedding thus far. They are pretty easy to wash; I like to hang them upside down to dry (I have a rack you are supposed to use for drying makeup brushes but some of the slots hold these just fine) to keep the ferrule in the best condition. (An alternative is to lay them flat on a paper towel.)I've been using these in jewelry-making projects. I've recently started working with some copper and I've been trying various finishes, colors, and patinas. There are these pretty colored paints from Vintaj that will adhere to metal so I have been using these brushes to apply the paints as well as the sealants/finishes that go with the paints. These are great for that. I am working with small stamped and embossed blanks mostly, thus far, so the largest brushes here are suitable for applying the paints to the metal -- I can get the entire blank covered pretty quickly. Or there are some smaller brushes if I want to do fine details. I've also been using them to apply a sealant to the back of copper jewelry to prevent skin discoloration.Anyway, I was balking at the cost of some of the nicer sets of artist's brushes, especially since I didn't know for sure I would continue with the finishes, colors, and patinas. I was only just trying them out to see if they are something I would like. (As it turns out, I do like this particular craft quite a lot. But when you are just getting started, you don't always want to choose the highest tier item because you'll be stuck with it if you give the project up.) But these were inexpensive, well-made, and effective for what I wanted to use them for. If/when mine eventually wear out, I will probably just buy another set of the same type of brushes.
