Winsor & NewtonCotman Short Handle Brushes, Set of 4, (Round 1, 4, & 6, One Stroke 3/8")

Great product and shipping

These work really well. I am only a beginner but I think I like these brushes the best so far. I did some practice flowers with this brush set and they turned out pretty good for a beginner.

The Winsor & Newton Cotman Short Handle Brushes offer excellent quality with a range of sizes (Round 1, 4, 6, and One Stroke 3/8"), perfect for both detailed work and broader strokes.

Quality at a affordable price

As you would expect from Winsor & Newton, these brushes are first class. The round brushes hold a decent amount of water and all come to a nice point. The Largest is just big enough for larger areas of your painting,, and the small, number 1 round is great for fine details. The flat brush can wet a large area, or help you make a really fine straight line.The handles are a bit short, but are just long enough to fit your hand nicely. The bristles are springy without being hard. They hold their shape nicely, and bounce back after pressing on them.All in all, I like these. I think they are a quality brush for the price. If I only ever had these brushes to paint with, I'd be happy. They aren't the best brushes out there, they are good brushes for a wide variety of painting styles. Buy them, you wont be disappointed.

I use these to paint miniatures and they work well. I usually use the smallest brushes to work on the model while I use the bigger brushes to paint the base and to apply varnish to the piece. The quality of the brushes for their price is amazing. I definitely recommend!

In my opinion these brushes are high quality for a fair price. I have painted with them several times so far. I enjoyed painting with them. They handled the watercolors well and behaved exactly as I expected a high quality brush to behave. I am familiar with brush care. With proper use and cleaning they have perfectly maintained their shape. For an occasional painter looking for professional results or an art student, I would recommend these.Personally I am not a professional artist painting prolifically. I am an intermediate artist painting for the joy of it. I enjoy painting cards for friends and family. I purchased this set of brushes since, for now, life is no longer too hectic to make time for art. I chose these particular brushes because I remembered Winsor and Newton as a good brand with a long history of quality from the days when I used to spend a lot more time on art. I am very happy with my purchase.

My wife who uses the brushes is delighted by their easy usability and stroke results.
