The best budget brush for all mediums! Although I only use it for watercolor, it works for gouache, oils, and acrylics too! I thought it would be terrible for watercolors, but I was completely wrong. The perfect brush for all tasks. Its flexibility, both literally and figuratively, is at its maximum. Perfect for beginners. The small sizes provide great control and the incredibly perfect tip does a fantastic job with details! The size 3 in an A5 sketchbook is the perfect brush for sketching. There are no other brushes on the market that are as good and at this price. It's probably made in Spain, but it doesn't matter where it's from when it's so good and so cheap.
