🖌🎨 and Universal Art Supplies School and Hobby Brush Set🎨🖌

Unique to Universal Art Supplies, this brush set from Da Vinci consists of the best value brushes we know. These brushes are soft, remarkably tough and hold their shape extremely well. Recommended for all hobby painting, they can be used for all types of multi media, from miniature painting to watercolour.

An example of how tough they are: one has been used to apply flux for soldering and only had to be replaced after 2 years!

All in all a great brush that we highly recommend☺️✨

Set consists of the following sizes:
🖌Round (Series 373): 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8
🖌Flat (Series 374): 4 and 10
🖌Filbert (Series 375): 6
