FolkArt One Stroke One Stroke Brush Set, 1059 (10-Pack), Original Version

Wonderfully reliable brushes for one stroke artwork

I am just starting out painting after a 50 year absence from when I learned oil painting at age 10. I bought the All Media Easel Artist Set which gives you a good assortment of oil, acrylic and watercolors to experiment with. I think that set is a good value for beginners and it comes in a really nicely made wooden box that gives you a place to store all your art supplies. The brushes and plastic pallet knives that come with this set aren't very good for serious work so I bought this One Stroke Folk Art Brush Pack and the Stainless Steel Pallet Knife 5-Piece Set. I am very pleased with the wide variety and feel of these brushes. The price is right too (10 brushes for $20). I am just doing simple painting projects now, like making some signs. I bought both of Nancy Reyner's books Acrylic Revolution and Acrylic Innovation. These books are excellent for beginners. They give you hundreds of painting tips plus basic stuff like how you use and take care of your painting tools. They are like having a private teacher to answer all your questions. She has created two "must have" books for people like myself who can't take a formal painting class. The only thing I need now is to develop my skills and I am looking forward to many hours of painting and learning. I highly recommend all the products and books mentioned above. All of them are available from Amazon.

Very pleased with this set. Good variety of brush sizes for one stroke painting. Hold their shape well during painting and easy to manipulate for different strokes. Very pleased with these.

This brushes are very good quality and perfect for my acrylic paintings!

This is a very high quality for a low price. They handle beautifully. I highly recommend them, I have a degree in Graphic Design.

I am not a pro and only need brushes for small parts of my projects so somebody suggested I just pick up a generic container of cheap brushes. What a mistake! Some left lots of hairs in my work, others had other problems. I had one Plaid brush I liked and when I saw how reasonable it was to get this whole pack I ordered them. I've been very pleased. They are easy to use and clean, give smooth strokes, and are a nice variety. These aren't for pros who often spent much more on a single brush, but for the non-pro they are good quality while still being quite reasonably priced.

Love these brushes! When I make a gift for someone and use these brushes to make one-step roses, they love them. I've been using them for years and they are very durable and last a long time.

I've purchased many sets over the years and these by far are a favorite!
