These a medium-quality affordable detail brushes, better quality than expected, which I've now used for several months.
The set has two items of each size (5/9, 3/0, 2/0)
and, although they are not liners, they make good line, shapes and fine marks. They're great for corrections on small areas, for mark-making and to fill in small areas or corners in a journal. I use them with flat or soft paper surfaces so I don't know how they would react with canvas or wood panels. I always use them with acrylic paints/inks and no issues so far.
I tend to forget my brushes submerged in water for too long, from some hours to a couple of days. The
bristles tend to bend and lose shape while left in water for a while,
but they recover it easily by drying t hem with a paper towel and, at the
same time, pressing them into their straight shape with my fingers. I initially feared that the red handle would lose its colour or break open, but that hasn't happened. So, I think these brushes are better quality than they look like. On the other hand, they look like a downgraded version of the brushes depicted in the product page photos.
Although unimportant, the brushes colour is more like burgundy, definitely not the beautiful red in the photos. I just wanted any coloured handle to differentiate these brushes from other small ones I own, so any colour would do.
In short, an economic student-grade set of detail brushes that are sturdy, durable, and versatile.
