Review on 9pcs Oblique Tipped Paint Brushes Set for Acrylic Watercolor Oil Painting, Long Handle - Golden Maple Artist Paint Brushes Set by Barbara Simmons

I bought a set of 5 Zen Angle Brite brushes (model MR42A) from Royal Langnickel, a famous brand of art brushes, for $25 (about $5 per brush).

Performance with Golden Heavy Body Acrylics. That's 9 brushes for $14 (about $1.50 per brush). In other words, this brush set would really be a steal at double the price. I previously bought the Hazelnut style brush set from Golden Maple and was (and still am) just as impressed.

(This was true of these angled brushes, as was the Hazelnut set. And I'd add that my very best brushes - like Princeton Catalyst Polytips, Creative Mark Master Stroke Powercryls, and Creative Mark Berlins - all come with this protective thread glue. . In other words, the glue is a measure of quality, not a problem.
