Review on 🎨 Modernize Your Artistic Style: Royal & Langnickel Moderna, 5 pc Angular Brush Set for All Painting Mediums by Nicole Mcleod

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent Quality, Great Selection

Different brush sets, especially those with just a few brushes, are a boon for stuffing purposes. That said, if you already have a good set of brushes but need a replacement or two, or perhaps want to try a different type of stroke, this set is for you. On the downside, this isn't a substitute for a more comprehensive entry-level set. R&L offers these different sets in different combinations, so it's pretty easy to find what you want without having to buy unnecessary brushes. The first thing I needed in this set was an oval wash, a fan, and square brushes. Small sharp and flat brushes are additional features for me. The R&L Moderna brushes are good brushes for intermediate and advanced artists. The line uses taklon, a decent synthetic material that's suitable for most paints (depending on the particular brush, of course). The Moderna 77 sub-line also uses natural hair. However, I'm not sure if the brushes in this particular set (Series 77) are blends or 100% Taklon as they look like Golden Taklon. But the hair is incredibly soft! The tips have the right shape. The handles are made of plastic, nicely shaped, good length, fit well in the hand. Colour? Well, I'll taste it. I'm not a fan of aluminum tips but they work well. I just don't expect the retention or strength that you get from the best top end materials. This is a well made range of synthetic brushes at a really good price. In other words, good value for money, but not a "value" product in the pejorative sense. Good brushes.

Pros
  • Crafts and Sewing
