- Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2023I am new to oil painting so I can't compare other brushes. I will say I am pleased with the results of these brushes. They are holding their shape after each use and are easy to clean. I have been using them for one about five weeks now. I am thinking of getting a second set so I have a set for dark colors and one for light colors. I have used them on both papers and canvas. Would recommend highly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the money
These are quite expensive brushes. There are similar sets for half the price. For once, though, I've found it worth paying over the odds. I am so pleased with these Princeton brushes. Normally I go to bristle brushes for oil paint and these are synthetic. But they have stiffness and spring to match bristle. They lay down paint well as well as blend. My biggest problem over the years has been finding a small brush that keeps its shape for painting small details. It's early days but I get the feel this small brush will deliver what I want

5.0 out of 5 stars Top Qualität
Ich bin super zufrieden mit diesem Pinselset. Die Qualität ist wirklich hervorragend – sie fühlen sich sehr hochwertig an. Besonders gefällt mir, dass sie auch nach mehrfachem Reinigen ihre Form behalten. Ich benutze sie hauptsächlich für Ölfarben und reinige Sie mit dem Ölfarben-Reiniger von Adler.
Ja, sie sind teurer als viele andere Sets, aber für mich hat sich der Aufpreis definitiv gelohnt. Die Pinsel haben genau die richtige Mischung aus Stabilität und Feinheit, wodurch sie sowohl Farbe gut aufnehmen als auch feine Details ermöglichen.
Ein kleiner Tipp: Nach dem Reinigen unbedingt flach trocknen lassen, damit kein Wasser in die Fassung läuft. Insgesamt ein super Kauf – würde ich jederzeit wieder nehmen!

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommend
The set turned out to be much cheaper than buying them individually at a local store. Truly one of the best paintbrushes i have used, especially for water mixable oil paint which cleans right off with water and soap without needing to use any harsh chemicals. The brushes retain their shape after every wash, but you have to ensure you let them dry flat and not raised up, so the water doesn't pool up in where the brush strands are connected to the brush stick. The no. 6 filbert from the set is my most commonly used one. Very happy with my purchase and would highly recommend.
