Zhu Ting 12-piece Flat Art Paint Brush Set

This is a great set of expensive-looking flat nylon hair brushes perfect for acrylic paint. The variety of sizes is great, but I miss one or two larger brushes. They are great quality. The bristles don't deform despite me leaving the brushes in water for days or using them with acrylic paint, gesso or matte medium.  The handle seems not to stain as quickly or badly as other brushes I own. They clean easily with hand soap under running water even when the paint is a bit dry on the bristles. They are great value for money as well. The only downside is that these brushes are on the small side, and a bit smaller than other brushes with the same sizing (see my photos).

Genixart Flat Paint Brushes Set, 6 Pcs

I have just received this product and returned it. I bought this set as size 12 shows as an xl size in the hands of large hands in the product info photos. This large one must be a triple XL, a 30+ size, not a size 12, because the set contains very small brushes and none of them is the size in the photo. Real size 12 is very small. I have reported the photo several times and they haven't removed it as yet. Why would you want to keep misleading photos on any product page?

Meeden Flat Paint Brushes Set Short Handle, 7-Piece

I've had this set for a few months already and use all the brushes on a weekly basis. This set has a good selection of flat sizes. I especially love the two smallest ones, but all of them are good. The flat shape is wonderful for most painting purposes. I tend to leave the brushes in water for a long time, and the handle and ferrule haven't been affected or deteriorated. The synthetic hair perfectly stands all the acrylic paints I use (heavy body, flow and high flow) and the hair recovers its shape easily once it is cleaned. I clean them with hand soap and water under the tap when they're really stained, and they wash beautifully. The only downside is that the hairs are not as flexible as I'd like to, but, for the price, they're great and beautifully designed.

Dugato Artist Watercolor Long-Handle Paint Mop Brushes 13pcs Set

This is a decent set of mop brushes in a great variety of sizes and at a great price (when I purchased the product, now the price has doubled up). The brushes have a very long handle, something I love, they look expensive and come with a plastic nib capsule.The bristles are flexible and nice and work well with acrylic and watercolours. They clean well, and so far the bristles haven't fallen or deteriorated.

DOWNSIDES
> The paint covering the brush handle of the brush peels off easily after not much use so it exposes the timber, and this is a way for the brush to get ruined.
> The protective capsule won't fit once the brush has been used even if you squeeze it, and even if you are able to do it some bristle strains get out and damage the nib.
> Just one type of brush in this set.
> I would say they're OK, not good quality.
