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!
