Professional Oil & Acrylic Brush Set – 6 Oil Brushes for Artists 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, & 12 with Durable Badger/Synthetic Bristles – PVC Travel Pouch, Long Birchwood Handles, No Shedding by ZenART

I like my new filbert brushes, which I bought for painting with the oils. Delivery was prompt and the set arrived well packed in a quality transparent plastic sleeve that I'm going to use for travel. Each brush was individually wrapped which is unusual and definitely helps to protect the brush tips from damage during transportation. Very beautifully finished lacquered handles are well balanced and long enough for loose movements and large paintings. The badger mix is not too stiff like hog and holds the paint nicely, even when it's thinned with solvent. It's very pleasant to use it with impasto too. The brushes are easy to wash and hold their shape. I cleaned them with the normal soap bar and they are as good as new. Very pleased with my new set of ZenArt for the oils and going to try their squirrel set for watercolours.

Absolutely thrilled with the quality! These are not made of some sort of cheap material. In fact, the ZenArt Supplies Artist's Choice Professional Artist Paint Brushes have a feel of a natural hair paintbrush. I have recently joined a painting class so I wanted to have that flexibility to use the right set when needed. I wanted to have the choice between watercolour, acrylics, and oils so I was more than happy to purchase both sets. I have to say that ZenArt as a brand stands out from others ones out there. The effort and thoughts put into the choice of material and the quality of packaging can only lead to trusting ZenArt as a brand. Will definitely be happy to recommend to friends and family.

Good quality brushes at a reasonable price

At last a paint brush that works well with acrylic paints! All the brushes in the pack retain their shape after rigorous use, unlike other professional paint brushes. I like the long handles and use mine to apply thick and thin amounts of acrylic paint on canvas with both small and large brushes. I will never buy another make after discovering Zen brushes, and they're better value for money. I've shared a small section of a painting I completed using Zen's filbert brushes.

The price wasn't low, so I expected a valuable brushes.. they look nice but all of them are loosing hair very badly!!I would also say these they are too soft for oil painting..Processed for refund.

Would Buy Again.

Absolutely loved these brushes, the slim long handles and the firmness of the bristles were an absolute delight ! Highly recommend these for oil paints, cleans well and retains the shape . Well packaged and was delivered promptly! Very pleased

Although new to oil painting, I wanted to get good quality brushes from the start. My initial experience with these brushes has been excellent, and several friends who have been painting with oils for years have told me they agree that the brushes are really good quality. Delivery was also very good. I get a strong feeling that ZenArt put high value on customer service, and look forward to placing more orders in the near future.

Livraison rapide et superbes outils. Des vrais pinceaux de pro ! je les utilise pour la peinture à l'huile sur toile depuis 15 jours et je ne suis pas déçue !

The media could not be loaded. I'm really glad I bought these ZenArt Artist Choice Brushes. Not only were they a new experience for me, having barely used animal hair brushes, but they were a fairly strong set. Initially, I was a bit concerned due to the largest brush, the number 12 coming with bent bristles, however it went back into shape pretty easily when I washed the ZenArt upon receiving them. As per the instructions on the back of the packaging, while washing away the glue that serves to protect them, I found that they shed a bit. Which is fine, as most new brushes do. However, while cleaning them I found that the big size 12 and 8 brushes had loose ferrules. It wasn't a big deal and didn't have any affect on use. Now, aside from that when I went to paint with them they were great! A bit scratchy, and stiff, but I'd say those are good qualities for people that work with oils or heavy body acrylic paints. Personally, I chose to paint a Totoro dice tower I 3d printed with some acrylic paints, and a lovely painting of a set of lungs. In my adventures with these brushes, I found that they would hold paint very well, clean up was pretty easy, and the length of them made it so I didn't have to lean in really close if I didn't want to. They were fairly comfortable and didn't cramp up my hands, plus they look really nice. Over all, I think these Artist Choice brushes are really great. I do think that if possible, a brush guard would be beneficial for keeping the bristles safe in transit, I know they came in individual sleeves but the brush guards would add an extra layer of protection. I'm going to keep using these brushes as I paint in the future, and look to ZenArt for more brushes as well.***I did reach out to the company, and they were very helpful in their efforts to remedy the issues with the size 12 and 8 brushes. They offered to send replacements, and when I got them I found that they were very sturdy had no loose ferrules and the bristles were not splayed or anything. Upon use, I found no issues with them. They work perfectly fine and seem to be of great quality! *** I definitely recommend trying these brushes out.

Für die Ölmalerei habe ich die Pinsel noch nicht verwendet, aber für die Acrylmalerei sind diese super!Es ist natürlich ein unterschiedlicher Geschmack welche Pinsel man gerne für welche Farben verwendet.Diese sind leicht gröber als "standard Acryl-Pinsel'' aber um einiges feiner als Borsten-Pinsel.

Las brochas son excelentes. La calidad es fenomenal. Muy cómodo. Hermoso, lo cual es importante. Las brochas más cómodas que he tenido. La calidad es impecable, el trabajo excelente, lo recomiendo.

I like the bristles and very nice to paint with, easy to clean. Excellent product!
