Hi,

I wonder if anyone have ever used any of those brushes:

I'm looking for some not very expensive brushes to use while washing, filters oils etc.

thx for help

The detail brushes look decent, the rest of them not so much. If you have an art supply store near you, go in and ask for student brushes, they're usually decent to quite good at very reasonable prices. Check to see how the bristles are holding their shape, synthetic over natural isn't as much of an issue for washes and filters.

I have a couple of the green handle brushes. They are pretty decent for general purpose brushes. I don't use them for figure painting, but for detail painting with vallejo they work nicely, hold a reasonably point (so far at least).

Pawel, I've got some of the orange handle detail brushes and was only thinking the other day how well they are holding their points and not splaying out or losing hairs. I will buy some more of them when they do eventually wear out. I like the big triangle section handles as well - comfortable to hold and they don't roll around when you put them down.
