Paintbrushes seem like a simple enough thing to purchase, but there are actually some terrible brushes out there that claim to be artist quality. Well, I can recommend a set of brushes that don’t deceive. Royal Soft Grip Brushes are a great for artists of all ages. Their synthetic hairs stand up firmly to thick paints and they hold their shape.

When working with acrylic paints, I recommend a firm brush that can push the thick paint across the surface with ease. But the brush also needs to have soft hairs! Royal Soft Grip Brushes will also work with oils if they are thinned down for the finest and smoothest of details in your paintings.

Keeping my budget in mind when purchasing brushes, I choose Royal Soft Grip Brushes because they are a great deal and they get the job done well. If you take good care of them and clean them properly, you can get many years and paintings out of them.

Another amazing thing about this brand is that they have a rubber grip on the handle, which adds comfort when you’re painting for many hours. It also helps me to hold the brush firmly without it slipping. Amazon reviewer Charo said, “I love these brushes because the handles never rot or crack. Plus they have an excellent grip.”

Another Amazon review, Karen Linn, wrote:

I really like these brushes. If you are not painting a masterpiece and don’t need animal bristles, then this is the one. They outlast, out-perform, and stand up to heavy oils and yet I can do watercolor with them. The flat edge allows me to do finish work without losing my defined line. I will keep buying these for everyday painting.

Try these brushes out! You will agree that they are a quality product for beginner and professional artists, at a great price.
