Great brushes!

These brushes are great. Similar to the feel of mongoose but plenty of bulk in the brush head and a bit softer than badger. Lovely spring in the hair. I expect them to last a while.

Brushes that last.

These are the only oil brushes that have kept their shape and have not worn down for two years. They are the only brushes I now use in all sizes. I tried at least 5 different brands that did not hold up well. They work great with thin oil painting and wash easily.

Care in Shipping stands out with Amazon

Quality brush a given. But the care in the shipping, Amazon, makes it the right place to buy.

Love the Brush

Very nice brush, this is my first sable brush and I think it's great.

Five Stars

very useful and precise

Perfect brush for detail work

This is a great brush for detail work. I absolutely love it and cannot wait to buy more da Vinci brushes. The price was also a huge draw as it is (in my opinion) constructed very well.

Excellent!

Slightly stiffer than a red sable oil brush, works wonderfully and arrived in perfect condition. Amazon seems to have figured out how to ship brushes!

Great for detail. Excellent quality, keeps a good point.

This brush is excellent. I love to work on small canvas and add a lot of detail using oils and I have never been so satisfied with a small sized brush before. Totally worth the money.

Love it!

Good quality brush! It keeps it's shape and makes painting fun.
