Bob Ross Half Size Brush, Round

Exactly what I wanted

Man this is the best brush I've ever used

Good quality

Always high quality

Nice brush. It is great for foliage such as trees and bushes. Since I paint on smaller canvases, I prefer this over the larger, 1" round brush, which is actually listed as a "Foliage" brush. Be sure the experiment with the orientation of the brush and how you tap. Try taping lightly, as well as a bit harder while either bending your bristles up, or down, for different effects.The only con I have is that the fibers like to go crazy if you are rough with the brush. I use small rubber bands around the bristles when my larger brushes are not in use to keep them under control. After the brush has sat for a day or less with the rubber band around it, the bristles will be nicely formed together. It is important to note that your bristles should be completely dry before you put the rubber band on. Doing this while the bristles are still wet could lead to rot, mold or even rust. You also want to use correctly sized rubber bands. They should be snug, but not so tight that they deform the original shape of the bristles.I have on occasion actually painted with the bands on the bristles. Normally though, this is not feasible or ideal for the situation.If you are worried about bristles coming out, don't. These brushes are well built, and done so in the USA. As with any brush, you may get a few strays when it is new, but they are large, so easy to remove from your painting. I use a small brush and remove stuck bristles with a couple bristles of the smaller brush. I also use sharp pointed tweezers occasionally.

I can honestly say after the last year of painting for a hobby, I have spent hundreds of dollars on High dollar professional brushes that don’t work as well as these do. i’m quite pleased with the product. I would also like to add that I’ve seen some reviews with people complaining about stray hairs and shedding, I don’t think they understand how to prep a brush to be used. Yes natural fiber brushes need to be prepped before use. Even then you’re still going to lose a few hairs.The price point is extremely fair for the quality of brush that you’re getting, they’re extremely comfortable I don’t get any pressure sores from over gripping the brush.I’ve ordered several and haven’t had any issues with damage or quality of product. I will definitely recommend these brushes.

Have been using this type of brush for a couple of years now and find it an essential part of my painting supplies.In early stages took a while to manage its versatility in application, however, I now find I would not be without this type of brush amongst my various range of brushes.For wet-on-wet style painting, this brush is also an essential addition to add to your painting skills.Strongly recomment this product.

Really was a game changer it painting leaves on trees especially for fall scences when you want some tree to look more sparse. Id recommend .
