Good for traditional styles

These work beautifully with traditional Chinese ink sticks. The only reason for 4 stars is that they require a bit more care when cleaning compared to synthetics, but that is expected with natural hair.

Professional quality at entry price

I bought these for my art students and they are impressed. The tips are incredibly fine, allowing for delicate edge outlining that mimics professional grade tools.

Great value for beginners

As someone new to Gongbi painting, these brushes are forgiving yet precise. They arrived well-packaged. One brush had a slightly loose ferrule, but overall a solid set for the price.

Perfect for fine details

These brushes hold a fantastic point. I use them for outlining my watercolor illustrations and the line control is incredible. The rat hair absorbs just the right amount of ink without dripping.

Excellent spring and snap

The bounce back on these brushes is superior to other brands I've tried in this price range. They maintain their sharp tip even after hours of detailed coloring work.

Smooth lines every time

I was worried about switching from synthetic to natural hair, but these are amazing. The flow is consistent, making long, continuous lines very easy to achieve. Highly recommended for tracing work.

5 FAQ

Q: Is the hair ethically sourced?

A: Yes, the rat hair used in our brushes is collected during the natural shedding season or as a byproduct of the food industry, ensuring no animals are harmed specifically for brush production.

Q: How should I store these brushes to maintain the tip shape?

A: After washing and reshaping the tip while damp, it is best to lay them flat to dry or hang them with the tip facing down. Once dry, store them in a protective case or roll to prevent the fine tips from bending.

Q: Can these be used with acrylic paints?

A: While primarily designed for water-based inks and watercolors, they can be used with fluid acrylics. However, you must clean them immediately and thoroughly to prevent the paint from drying in the natural bristles.

Q: Do these brushes come pre-seasoned or do I need to prepare them?

A: The brushes come with a protective sizing glue. You simply need to soak the tip in lukewarm water for a few minutes until the glue dissolves, then rinse gently before your first use.

Q: What is the approximate length of the brush handle?

A: The total length of each brush is approximately 26 cm (about 10.2 inches), which provides a good balance for both detailed close-up work and broader strokes.
