Silver Brush Limited UMS-2455S Ultra Mini Ultimate Round Set for Watercolor, Gouache, Inks, Dyes, Acrylic, & Heavy Body Paints, Set of 4 Round Brushes, Size 2, 4, 6, and 8, Short Handle

I was excited to add this set to my brush collection. I am very careful with my art tools particularly in the cleaning and conditioning of my brushes. Two of these brushes have separated and frayed to the point I am not sure they can be salvaged. While these are not the most expensive brushes, I do expect them to be more durable than this. Quite disappointed.

UPDATE: The first time I used these I wasn't completely prepared, my skills were not enough, and It's better to admit I Was Wrong, than let others have the wrong idea of this item... If you use the right paper, and train your hand a little, you'll obtain some extraordinary results, getting a level of detail you have never imagine before. I was wrong, really wrong. And Yes, you'll get to control it perfectly, as the handles are the best in this kind of brushes. Sorry for my original review... That proves a bad experience of someone, is not always the real experience you can obtain with a particular tool. I hope this helps! Original (sorry): The tips are a little too long for a round brush. I know that is part of the product description, but, I thought the hairs would have been more springy, and tough... they are SO SOFT, and SO WEAK, that not only can't handle too much color (paint) but they bend too easy, and they are too difficult to control... Something that I think it's the opposite to the goal of the Ultra-Mini series... I don't recomend these brushes, if you think you'll have more control on lettering or details... Believe me, you will not.

I just purchased two sets, one for me and one for my daughter. They are very sturdy. I had no trouble getting the cards in and out of them. You can't put two cards in one though as you would probably make it ineffective. I love the designs. I was pretty much able to match the card with one of the colorful designs making it easy to find them. My cards feel much more secure. Good luck to this Made in America company.

I am a tole painter and I was working on a project that had very tiny detailed work. I know from experience, that Silver brushes are very good. I thought I would try these brushes out so my project would be less stressful and I am glad I did. They are very good and I highly recommend this set.

Seems to do the job and keep their points
