1) A refined soft goat hair brush with 90% thinner sheep hair for loading capability and 10% thicker goat hair for pointed tip: bristle length 1-1/2" and 3/8" diameter, with bamboo handle total bruch length 11". This soft brush is a great wash brush.
2) A wolf hair stiff brush: bristle length 1-1/4", diameter 5/16", total length 10". As a liner, it is commonly used for calligraphic strokes such as bamboo and orchid.
3) A small weasel hair stiff brush. Bristle length 3/4", 1/8" diameter, 8" long total with bamboo handle. This brush serves as a small liner. As its name "Ye Jing"("Leaf Vein") suggests, it is commonly used for defining veins on leaves and drawing of other details. You may use it as a signature brush to sign your paintings.
This set of three brushes are perfect for beginner. In painting a blue heron, for example, you would use the sheep brush to paint the body part with light blue gray and then use the wolf brush to draw the legs and dot the eye with the small weasel stiff brush.
