Daler-Rowney Simply Acrylic Brush Set in Zip Case, 10 x Assorted Gold Taklon Synthetic Hair Brushes, Short Handle, Ideal for Entry-Level Artists & Hobbyists

Using these with acrylics, these are a great set of long-handled brushes with a versatile range of brush shapes and sizes. The bristles are not the softest I've used but not the hardest either. They are good for wet brush painting that I'm mostly doing at the moment. I haven't yet tried using these for a dry brush techniques so I don't know if they would be stiff enough. I'm a relative beginner so am still trying things out. I'd definitely recommend this brush set.

Very pleased with these brushes, look very nice with a great selection of brushes for different techniques.They come in a very handy zip up case to keep them together and safe.For the price I payed too turns out a real bargain.I'm just an amateur painter so for me these are perfect and just what I needed.They do seem good quality and look the part too. Would recommend.

These are good quality brushes for the amateur artist. The shorter handle makes them easy to use, they are medium soft, hold paint well, shed very little and are easy to clean. I use them for acrylics and I’m pleased with the results. Good to have a transport/storage case too.

I am new to painting however I can say that these are a lovely set of brushes for the price. They hold the paint well and clean up fine. There is a good variety of sizes and the zip up case is very good. They are softer than I was expecting but paint well.

Good value, have used similar before

These are great brushes. Easy to hold and use and wash very easily. Would be ideal for anyone starting out using acrylics as they are not expensive and appear very good quality. The range of brushes in the case seems to cover all those needed.

Lovely brushes that come with a lovely compact zip up case. The brushes are short handled which gives good control for acrylic work and these brushes work very well with acrylic and watercolour paints. I've not tried them with oil or gouache but I have long handled brushes for oil paints so unlikely I will, so cannot comment on how well they do with those. They are marketed as acrylic brushes a d you get a good range of size and type of brush in the set. I didn't give full five stars because I had a duplicate brush (angled) and no fan brush, which is shown on the front of the packaging and on the item online, but aside from that, these brushes are well worth the money and are a good starter and intermediate set for those on a budget. No hair loss and clean up really well.

Daler Rowney are a name I'm long familiar with, having used their artist's brushes for donkey's years. Their brushes never seem to cause me any problems, although obviously you need to care for them well just like any other fine instrument. We've not received a single Daler Rowney brush that has had a quality problem, and these were no exception. The synthetic bristles are tight and stay so over the course of time, and the ferrules are never loose or otherwise problematic in my experience. We're fairly gentle with the ones we use, and we're quick to clean them.We have favourite brushes in the studio space all the time and were keen to have a decent set of brushes to cart around with us when we are out and about, but which can be set aside for trips, just to make life a little easier (it can be harder to clean brushes when you're "on the road" sometimes, and we feel happier knowing that we are covered. A packaged set such as these is great, and also really handy when painting with friends at local painters' gatherings, since they will pack into a field easel or even a desktop easel without too much hassle (and you can always slip a few other brushes in there if necessary.It's hard to find fault with them, they balance nicely in the fingers and, although my wife gets on with them better than I do (my hands would prefer a very slightly larger diameter to the grip on some of the finer brushes), I wouldn't change them for the world.
