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 Amy Mears

UPDATE. Having lived with and used them for a few months I would not recommend them at all. I've never had a comb like this before. I thought it would be a nice improvement over cheaper brushes, but it's not. Either stick with cheap basic brushes or spend real money on higher quality brushes. I won't even use them for dirty work like covering liquids as they shed like crazy. A brush made from a mix of 11 round squirrels has lost a third of its hair. Artificial Protein 10 is only slightly better. I am very dissatisfied with these brushes even at this price point. They feel very comfortable and make a quite stable impression. They are in no way inferior to more expensive brushes, but without the premium price. At around $6 per brush, they're a lot cheaper than some of the others, and performance has been fantastic so far. UPDATE: I have ordered 2 items from Zenart and have been promised free gifts for each. Even if I was only entitled to one, that's fine, but I couldn't claim them because of something with the order number. Make promises you won't keep. Not cool.
