Loving these brushes. Only took 2 or 3 days to receive them. Using them with my watercolors on watercolor paper. I?m teaching myself but the brushes are working great. They all come to a very sharp point. I?ve only used them for 3 days,but very impressed. I also noticed that when I clean them they seem to release the watercolor much easier than my squirrel and synthetic blends do. I have to wash my other brushes several times before they r clean. I hang them to dry and they dry very quickly. Would definitely recommend them.
