I'm very satisfied. I've tried different brands from Chesp to expensive ones just to get a feel for different brands of brushes. I've tried this brush with both watercolor and acrylic paints. That worked great for both of them. It creates clear and smooth lines. The color flows great. Excellent variation of strokes. I became addicted. I liked this brush the most when I was painting with watercolours, as I didn't have to keep dipping. Would definitely buy again.
