The Inspired Art Professional Brush Set is one of the best set of brushes that I own! For the value (Currently listed at $24.95), you receive a set of 15 long handled brushes in a variety of sizes. The brushes also come in a fantastic protective case that is a home run! These brushes can be used for with acrylic, watercolor, oil, gouache, and face painting, and the bristles are no-shed. The larger brushes have wider handles, but all of the handles are of a nice quality and easy to grip.
When I first purchased these, I did not realize that they were long handled. This is totally my fault, but I just thought I should re-emphasize that they are long handled. What's the difference between long and short handled you may ask? Long handled brushes tend to be used for work on larger canvases and easel work where you want to be able to see a broader area while you're painting. I usually use short handled brushes as I work on small canvases, wood pieces, and ornaments. This isn't a big deal and it's totally my fault but please make sure you know these are long handled if you're purchasing them!

That being said, these brushes were a fantastic surprise as I expected good brushes but not great ones. These were definitely great. The versatility of the set is one of it's best attributes. Both round and flat brushes are included. The sizes on the brushes are: 11, 9, 7, 5, 3, 1, 0, 2/0, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, and 3/0. Each one has a nice handle and the bristles are soft. They have a really nice feeling in the hand as well.
One of my favorite features about the set though, is the case. It's nice and hard shelled, protecting the brushes as well as keeping them together. Each side of the case has a tab where the brushes are stored and they pop out. You can then velcro the top of it so that your brushes are set up on an angle. (there's actually two angles you can use!) This is great for when you're painting, in between painting, and after you've washed them and need to let them dry.
Overall, the variety of this set is fantastic, as is the quality for the price. I can see these being a fantastic gift for any artist in your family, as well as phenomenal for a student just learning. They are easy to take care of and don't shed, as well as coming in this great case, perfect if you're taking them to class and back, or just to keep them together. They are a great quality and I'd definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a quality, affordable, long handled brush set!
