Paint has always been one of my favorite crafting mediums. I love painting pictures for my walls and ceramic houses to decorate at Christmas. My daughter and I also love using paint in the many crafts that we make. Most of my brushes have seen better days, especially the brushes that my preschooler daughter uses for her artwork. Thus, when recently offered the chance to review the 16-piece long handle bristle hair artist paint brush set with carry case from US Art Supply in exchange for my honest opinion, I eagerly accepted the opportunity to add to my art supplies.
Price
The 16-piece long handle bristle hair artist paint brush set with carry case from US Art Supply currently retails for $9.96 on Amazon. Other similar paintbrush sets typically cost at least a few dollars more, with some priced much higher. I would pay the current price for this set of brushes, so I therefore rate the US Art Supply paintbrushes as reasonably priced.
Design
Made for acrylic and oil painting, the long handle bristle hair artist paint brush set from US Art Supply comes with eight round head brushes and eight flat head brushes. In addition to the sixteen paintbrushes, the set also comes with a zippered gray and black nylon case.
Performance
I have never used long handle paintbrushes before, but I have been very pleased with all the other products from US Art Supply that I have tried, and I am equally impressed with my new paintbrushes. First, I love the two different types of brushes — round and flat — included in the sixteen-piece set. I paint a lot of different surfaces of varying sizes, so I need many different sized brushes. The bigger brushes are great for painting large areas while the smaller brushes are perfect for more detailed work. My daughter and I can work on all sorts of craft projects with this set of paintbrushes. I love the variety of brushes in this set.
One of my peeves about cheaper paintbrushes is that the bristles often bend, break, and fall out. I judge a good brush by the lack of breakage. As I have been painting with my new long handle bristle hair artist paint brushes from US Art Supply, I have noticed only one bristle fall out, which occurred when I first started painting with a new brush. Once that fluke loose bristle fell out, I have not noticed any other breakage. The handles are also made of sturdy wood that has been sealed to protect your fingers and hands from splinters. I am therefore very impressed with the quality of these paintbrushes.
Finally, I love the case that accompanies the 16-piece long handle bristle hair artist paint brush set from US Art Supply. The case features dark gray nylon material on the inside and outside with a black border and zipper. The zipper easily and securely closes the case to keep all the brushes in place inside. Each of the sixteen brushes fits neatly in numerical order in pockets on the inside. A handle makes transporting super easy. I am thus very impressed with the case that comes with this paintbrush set.
Final Verdict
If you are shopping for new paintbrushes, I highly recommend the 16-piece long handle bristle hair artist paint brush set with carry case from US Art Supply. Currently priced at a very reasonable $9.96, the set comes with eight round head brushes and eight flat head brushes that are perfect for acrylic and oil painting. In addition to the sixteen paintbrushes, the set also comes with a zippered gray and black nylon case that keeps the brushes organize. I love the two different types of brushes — round and flat — and the variety of sizes. I am also very impressed with the high quality. My new US Art Supply paintbrushes are my new favorite brushes for art and craft projects.
