Every Expression short-handled brush is uniquely constructed with a combination of different types and diameters of synthetic fiber, resulting in a smooth, soft feel with great resiliency, snap, and color-holding ability.

The brush hair is hand-shaped, then tied, glued, and hand-crimped into seamless, 22-karat gold-plated ferrules. Every beech wood handle receives five coats of matte, stain-resistant turquoise lacquer. Because they're generously sized and perfectly balanced, the handles also alleviate hand and finger fatigue during long painting sessions.

Originally designed for crafters and tole painters, Expression brushes are also ideal for fine art applications.

Expression Pack AA — This set contains three short handle brushes: Liner #10/0, Angle Shader #1/4, and Flat Shader #4.

Expression Pack BB — This set contains four short handle brushes: Liner #18/0, Flat Shader #8, Filbert #6, and Pointed Round #4.

Expression Pack CC — This set contains four short handle brushes: Liner #1, Angle Shader #3/8, Flat Shader #6, and Pointed Round #2.

Expression Pack DD — This set contains five short handle brushes: Fan Blender #2, Angle Shader #1/8, Filbert #4, Filber #8, and Detail Spotter #15/0.

Great, solid brushes

Pros

Best Uses

Comments about Robert Simmons Expression Pointed Round Series E85:

Been a devoted Princeton fan but decided to try these, because the lacquer-like handles seemed comfortable.

I bought the #8 filbert and a mop brush, and they're exactly as expected: easy on the hands and hold their shape even after vigorous washing. (I get lazy and don't always clean my brushes right away!)

Haven't compared the prices to others', but nevertheless, these are good, short-handled options.

Unique handle shape a plus!

Pros

Best Uses

Comments about Robert Simmons Expression Liner Series E51:

I bought the E51 Liner brushes in sizes 0, 2/0, 10/0, and18/0. Even the tiniest brush has kept it's shape well. These delicate liners have the ability to create extremely fine lines (provided that you have a steady hand). Unlike other fine line brushes I've purchased, these brushes have a consistent snap and point.
The construction of these brushes seems to be quality work and the lacquered handles are resistant to moisture, staining, and cracking. The thicker handles are also easy to grip and weighty enough to promote a balance while painting. Overall, I am pleased with these brushes and would likely purchase them again or in other sizes.

I purchased the E51 Liner Brush and used it only once to sign my name. After it dried the bristles fanned out and it was completely unusable.

Comments about Robert Simmons Expression Pointed Round Series E85:

I use these with all my paints. They really hold up well and have a nice tapered edge. The short handles are also my favorite......I never could get the hang of painting with the long handle brushes. Great product.

I do detail work and I need a brush that is not going to lose its shape after just a few painting sessions and I just might have found what I was looking for in this product.

Comments about Robert Simmons Expression Pointed Round Series E85:

I have found these brushes to be wonderful for the price. I use them with fluid acrylics, on both two and three-dimensional canvas, wood, and other surfaces. Very reliable. Also, DB's prices for these are better than anyone else's.
