A couple of us were asking Viper 29 ca if the Micro Mark drybrushing brush really do the job they say it does but he never came back, so could anybody with one or the set tell us if it is really worth it. Thank You for your replys.

I am not the worlds greatest drybursher, but those brushes and oil paints have made a huge difference in the quality of my finished work.
I don't work there, but like the brushes.

Could save yourself some money and try getting "filburt:" tipped wide paint brushes from your local art supply store like AC Moore or Micheals. They are the same thing.

Hi All
I also bought one of these brushes at a show. I was so impressed with it, that I ordered a whole set of them.
I think there great!
P.S. I am easly impressed.

Sorry guys, I never saw the topic on this since I had posted in the other thread.

Filbert brushes are NOT the same. That doesn't mean that they won't work as well....

The dry brushing brushes from Micro Mark are tapered in both directions, what I mean by that is that they are tapered across the width of the brush, and also across the the thickness of the brush if you know what I mean. Filberts are only tapered across the width.

And really, a good filbert from an art store or the like is going to cost you about the same....I think I paid like $5 for the drybrushing brush I have, which I think is the small size....I think there are 3 sizes to the set, but I only bought the small one...good enough for me.

I really like it, and it works well, very good quality bristles, they don't deteriorate no matter what kind of paint or thinner I have used. I find the design of the brush actually allows you to be able to load the brush heavier than other brushes, but still give you a degree of control so as you don't brush on too much paint!!!

I used to use a filbert brush, and I figured for $5, I would try one of these, and haven't looked back since.

I appreciate the come back on the drybrushing brushes, maybe when I get some money I'll try to get some then.
