These brushes work really well for the money. Also, since they are available in smaller sizes, can be used to outline with rivaling the line quality of an outliner brush. They can also teach proper brush care, like oiling the ferrule before and after it is used with paint or size.

What can you say about sign painting - lettering brushes? If you could snap your fingers and they letter by themselves, that would be something to write about. However, I have snapped multiple times and they are not moving. So, I will have to resort to something less exciting such as; good product, excellent quality, reasonably priced and always excellent service from Dick Blick.

I use a number of these brushes in my various lettering and sign painting endeavors. I feel like for the money, you can't go wrong with them. They're great for beginners who'll inevitably trash their first brush or two. Unless you just get a real lemon you shouldn't have a problem making nice clean letters with these brushes, but If you want a LUCO, you'll still have to pay for one..

These were recommended by a friend as fairly priced lettering and sign painting brushes. I ordered 4 different sizes and absolutely hate them. They are hands down the worst brushes I ever used for sign painting. Spend the extra money to get some quality camel or squirrel hair brushes. These brushes DO NOT hold paint. You CANNOT pull a long line with them. The cheap synthetic bristles fall out constantly and get stuck in whatever you're painting. I would recommend anything but these brushes. I've been using camel hair Langnickle brushes for some time and highly recommend them. Bottom line. DO NOT BUY. total ripoff.

I could give these brushes 5 stars but I simply cannot tell if I am just bias of my old worn-in brushes versus these new ones. They are very good. I've been using them with sign painter's enamel and they work wonderfully.

I have been doing brush lettering work for many, many years and I'm pretty familiar with the single=stroke brushes available. But I have to confess I have never before seen a 1/16" single stroke brush that would actually form and hold a chisel edge 1/16" wide. I can do clean, quarter-inch high, chancery italic lettering with this brush just about as well as I can with a calligraphy pen. An amazingly precise and useful brush!
