Five basic brushes for Chinese paintings or Sumi-e

 

1) Refined soft goat hair brush. 100% goat or sheep hair with great loading capability and pointed nature tip. Bristle length 1-1/2" and 3/8" diameter, with bamboo handle total brush length 11". This goat brush is good for painting spontaneous strokes like flower petals and leaves.   

2) Wolf hair stiff brush: bristle length 1-1/4", 5/16" diameter, total length 10". As a good liner, it is commonly used for calligraphic strokes such as bamboo and orchid. It is one of the three basic brushes.

3) 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. It is also known as a "Happy Dot" brush.  You may use it as a signature brush to sign your paintings.  It is suitable to draw landscape(rocks and trees), flower stems and veins, also good as good calligraphy brush.

4) Rat Whisker Landscape Brush. Size:  1"(2.5cm)L x 5/16"(0.8cm)D;  Handle 9-1/8"(23.5cm)L. Stiff hair brushes are usually made of weasel hair, generally known as the "wolf hair" brush. They are with sharp-pointed tip and spring back, so they used to draw calligraphic strokes or fine lines. The oldest brush discovered by archaeologists in China were all made of stiff hair, and the best-known stiff brush is the rat whisker brush, favored by Wang Xizhi, the fourth-century calligrapher. It is believed that he wrote his most famous "Preface to the Poems Composed at the Orchid Pavilion" with a rat whisker brush. Here I have specially requested this rat whisker brush from Master Xu according to the legend of Wang Xizhi and included in the student value pack for my online painting class.

 5) Goat or Sheep Hair Super Wash Brush 

This 2" long goat hair soft calligraphy brush is made of goat or sheep hair with a synthetic hair core. Its long bristle provides a wide range for multiple color loading. It is a superb calligraphy and painting brush for washing flower petals or landscape background. The ferrule is ox-horn and the handle is of bamboo.   

 

Size: 2"(5.2cm) long, 7/8"(1.2cm) diameter; Handle: 9 1/2"(24cm)

Made in Huzhou, Chejiang Province, China

I'm so happy with this brush set! All 5 brushes are useful and you cannot go wrong ordering this. The largest brush works like a charm for lotus leaves and since it holds so much water/ink, you can really work on the color variations. The other brushes are really good for their 'official' use: the happy dot brush makes great dots on plum flowers, the bamboo orchid brushes enables me to paint pretty orchid leaves and bamboo, and so on! All working wonders. My order arrived well packaged and everything is A1 quality!

Unfortunately, there are not a lot of reviews on BHA, but they seem to have been around for a while and I've utilized their youtube videos to get excited and get started with Chinese ink painting. I encourage anyone who reads this to leave a review if they purchase anything to help other people decide on purchases. That being said. I LOVE THIS BRUSH SET! I've only been working with this medium and art style for about 2 months now, and previously used brushes from a chain store, and these brushes blow those out of the water! Just looking at the brushes I can see a visual difference with the brush heads. I can definitely tell a difference between the chain store brown weasel/wolf brush and the brush from this set. I can also definitely tell a difference between the white cloud brush/goat hair and the one from the chain store. So far I havent really had any brushes shed on me. The thin line rat whisker brush seems to be really good for adding stamen to flowers. I was unable to do this with the chain store brush.
