DUGATO 15pc Artist Paint Brush Set with Pop-Up Case, Palette Knife & Sponges - Nylon Hair for Acrylic, Oil, Watercolor, Gouache, Model & Craft Painting

Very nice set of hog hair brushes as pictured. Well packed. The item did have a strong smell but I did wash the brushes and it went away. There was some shedding (very minor) and when I used one of them with oil a few hairs came out but they are so course it was easy to pick out of the paint. I’m very happy with this set for oil painting as they are sturdy and are holding up well. The knife is nice quality and sturdy also.

I've purchased many, many brushes, and most of them were not hog bristle, which is really the best brush for oil painting. Since I paint animals, I like brushes that allow me to get a lot of detail in my paintings. I've always looked for specialty brushes that help attain the look of hair, fur, grass, etc. Other than fan brushes, these specialty brushes are never made of hog bristle, which is understandable. I think it would be difficult to make a wisp brush from anything other than a synthetic bristle. I have become very discouraged with how difficult it is to find a synthetic brush that holds the oil paint well enough to accomplish the effects I'm trying to achieve. I have only one synthetic brush that has worked for painting very fine lines - a zero 3 size, but it's so old that I wanted to replace it. Unfortunately, Amazon no longer carries the brand I had purchased years ago. I've tried other brands, but the brushes just don't hold the paint. In my search, I found this set of hog bristle brushes that includes a #1 liner and a #1 round brush. What a great find. I am able to make fine lines with both of these brushes. Most brushes for sale, including this set, are listed as appropriate for oils, acrylic, and watercolor. That has never made sense to me. These brushes would never work for watercolor, but if you paint with oils, I think you would like this set of brushes. The case is a nice addition as well.

Excelentes

Just received so I didn't have a chance to use it. It looks just like in the picture. The brushes are rough. The case is ok quality

works great for encaustic art, doesn't loose bristles

Todavía no se aprobado pero se ven muy bien, muy bonito en su estuche. Lo regalare a mi hija en Navidad, luego les digo como trabajan

I’ve put these brushes to the test, and the bristles literally slide in and out with almost no effort. This isn’t just a few loose hairs—whole chunks come out, and the brush basically falls apart. After using the small brushes once, they were already unusable. In my video, you can even see it happening with the larger brush. It’s a shame, because I really like the variety, and they’re easy to clean and work well with oil paints. But the quality just isn’t there if the bristles won’t stay in. I’ve only had them a few weeks, and already 5 brushes are completely unusable. Very disappointing purchase.

I wasn’t expecting much from this set because everyone said it was a great beginners set. I just knew it was low in price and had a variety of sizes. I really love the biggest brush in the set and I do like the range of sizes. A few bristles had come loose but that’s to be expected. I am pretty rough on my brushes but these have really held up splendidly. I think it’s a great little set with a pretty cool carrying case. I don’t use it much since I don’t travel with my supplies but it would come in handy for someone who does.

Brushes work extremely well with acrylic paints. Great selection on every day brushes

Love these for oil painting, if handles were longer I’d love them more but great assortment, great case to travel with though

Thay are amazing my husband loves them.

very rough, had thick glue on them. Tried to make them usable by cleaning with hot water. Didn't work at all. Couldn't even use them to paint a simple background Also, the bristles break mid painting

Wish I could return. Wasted my money on these.
