TRANSONRound Paint Brush Set 9pcs Synthetic Sable Hair for Acrylic Painting Watercolor Painting Gouache Ink Craft and Detail Painting

Nice brushes, affordable. They keep the shape and look sleek.

I bought these in 2019. I found my way back to this seller randomly while looking for new brushes, when I recognized these amongst their items. I saw a bad review & decided to stop what I was doing to collect a bunch of brushes to show you how they’ve held up.I had only just began painting in 2019 when I bought these. To say I’ve abused my brushes is an understatement. If I treated people the way I’ve treated these brushes theyd either be disabled dead or suffering from extreme ptsd. As you can see in the picture, that’s pretty much what happened to many different brands of brushes lolThe white brushes to the left were the absolute worst!!!!! My habit of forgetting to take them out of water over night has led to the death of those brushes. The biggest most common most annoying problem I run into is the barrel flaking off into my paint. This unknown made in China brand was the worst with Jane Davenport brushes (the {used to be} teal ones) a close 2nd.The first couple all the way on the left are from another unknown made in China brand, every single one of them - & there were many - needed to be super glued so the head would remain on the barrel of the brush. The red ones are from this brand that I’m reviewing....you can clearly see 2 things; 1. They have not a single chip in them & they’re stained with dry paint so they’ve definitely been abused.Back to my analogy of brushes to humans;So white barrel brushes to the left, they’d be dead.Jane Davenport, disabled AF.The black, made in Chinese brand & these red ones are alive, still able bodied but probably suffer from ptsd & will probably never return to their natural fully functional state but if they receive tons of attention they may be able to blend back into society without a problem....but don’t feel too sorry for them cause they’re tough as 5h!t & can CLEARLY handle years w/a novice, who’s irresponsible with a tendency to be a repeat offender of paint brush neglect & of ridiculously long run on sentences 😉The reason for the last 2 brushes being in the pic are to point out that I don’t understand why sellers list “acrylic AND watercolor” in the description for any one kind of paint brushes when each paint works so differently & each has different needs. These red ones are definitely NOT great for watercolor, the bristles are too thick/stiff. Bc I don’t know exactly how to articulate what makes a great watercolor brush besides having super soft flexible bristles, I figured I’d just toss 2 in the picture to just show you what I mean. Those soft flexible bristles soak up water just like long hair on humans does, which is great when working with water colors....these red brushes are the complete opposite so definitely do not buy them for watercolor or even gouache....these are acrylic all the way!!Hope this helps someone....☺️👍🏼

Good quality student grade brush. Great for learning. I loved the red color on the handles, and the different size variety is good as well. Bristles are soft yet hold their shape with little shedding.

Nice brushes for the price. I use with acrylic paints and they worked well.

Delivered as expected.

Very nice set of brushes. Hold their shape nicely and have good watwr control

Pros: fine tip, multiple sizes, easy to control, great for watercolors, easy to clean, inexpensive, synthetic bristles, can't stain dark colors, bristles do not fall outCons: I wouldn't use these for acrylic or oil paint. They're probably too soft for that.I painted the two paintings shown here with these brushes. They are perfect for watercolors and inks. Large brushes can do big washes of color, and smaller brushes get fine details without bleeding into other colors.I love this set and I will use it almost every day.

These are good for the price. Definitely worth it. I'd be happier if the #8 brush, one of my favorite sizes, wasn't ruined from the start. As you can see, there are bristles standing out due to improper placement of the protective plastic brush protector. The brush tip is not as it should be and it is off centered.
