Royal & LangnickelZen Series 83, Set of 5 Brushes, Standard Handle, Synthetic Filament, Natural Hair, Stiff Scrubber 2, 8, 14, Scrubber 6, 10, RZEN-SET835

I love these for blending colored pencils. You can use them for this purpose over the dry pigment, but they also work well with solvent and my favorite use is to blend with heat. I typically use the stiff ones, but the soft are great too. I think it will be nice to have the two options. I recently got a set of Creative Mark scrubbers (the 12 set sold here on Amazon), which are great too. For comparison, the stiff Royal & Langnickels are softer than the Creative Mark. I love being able to get these on Amazon with Prime shipping and the cost for the set is great.

These are very nice quality and will be useful for watercolor. They arrived well packaged and contained in a very nice re-useable plastic zip storage case.

These are fantastic brushes in a set that includes different sizes and different stiffness. The sable-colored bristles are soft while the white bristles are quite stiff. I use them with acrylic paint as blending brushes. The sable-colored brushes hold a lot of water while I do more dry brushing with the stiff white bristles. They seem quite durable and I have not lost any bristles from heavy scrubbing. Since I've only used two of the 5 brushes (one each bristle type) with acrylics so far, I may try some others with watercolors. They hold their shape nicely so even though it is a fairly large rounded, filbert-style brush (not a pointed style), it is also quite flat. The belly of the brush has a wide coverage area while the side edges can be used for thinner lines, accents, shadows, etc. In all, a very versatile set of brushes I am very happy to have purchased.

These are perfect! If you've ordered scrubber brushes before and find they are so stiff you could take a layer of skin off your arm with them! Be assured these are not them. The white ones are soft enough to bend but stiff enough to remove the color and the brown ones are a bit softer for less of a harsh scrub. Hopefully you understand what I'm trying to say. You will be bery happy with them.

This is a nice set of two fairly soft and two fairly stiff scrubbers. They work well on a variety of papers. Do what they are supposed to do.

The brushes arrives in a clear soft plastic case - this will make it easy to keep separate from my other brushes. They got here quick, with a friendly & personal note from a family owned vendor. Thanks!

Attention! Attention!! This is the scrub brush you’ve been looking for!! (Or the set of scrub brushes, rather.)These brushes can stand up to a beating. I just used the larger white bristled one to lift watercolor that accidentally flowed past my washi tape line and onto the white edge of the painting. I thought I’d have to settle for gross edges, but this brush took the color right off quite easily!I love the shorter bristle length. You can scrub with it quite hard, even to the point of taking a bit of the top layer of paper off if you’re not careful!This set is pure gold! Should be essential on any watercolorist’s supply list!

Great for lifting colour
