Comments about Robert Simmons Expression Pointed Round Series E85:

Great brushes for small areas and detail. Synthetic, but handle like pure sable.
Long lasting quality
Good handles that do not tire the hand.

Comments about Robert Simmons Expression Detail Spotter Series E81:

I have used this brush for fine detail with oil paints and it has worked well. I've cleaned it about ten times and it is holding up so far with no hair loss. The handle of the brush is a little heavier than other brushes and it feels quite substantial in my hand. I like it and can recommend it for fine detail. I've only used it a few days so far.

Comments about Robert Simmons Expression Brushes:

I've used these brushes for years, and I use them a lot in my watercolor studio. They're great if I'm painting loose, or if I want precision painting in eyelashes on the eye of a baby portrait.

Comments about Robert Simmons Expression Brushes:

I use these brushes in silk painting in a technique where the dye is "scrubbed" on. I have the 1/4" and I could use one smaller.

Comments about Robert Simmons Expression Brushes:

I like the thick handle on this line of brushes, and the bristles are soft and well shaped for detailed oil painting. Over time, the ends of the bristles tend to split or fray and no longer keep a sharp edge.

Comments about Robert Simmons Expression Brushes:

These brushes are the kind I used in a silk painting class ( with Karen Sistek) where we learned how to use sizing instead of resists to paint our flowers. This requires a thick, high quality brush that can hold the dye and stay in tact with lots of scrubbing across the silk surface. This brand may not be the same we used in class, but it has the same professional quality.

Comments about Robert Simmons Expression Brushes:

Gives me more control with the heavy body paint I like to use. Very pleased with the latest painting I did using them.

Comments about Robert Simmons Expression Angle Shader:

I normally prefer brush made from natural hair like sable, fitch, horse, etc. However, I do love Robert Simmons brushes because they work so well with my wildlife art on many mediums such as wood, plaster, ceramic and canvas. I use mostly acrylics and sometimes oils and these brushes hold up well with those harsh mediums.They are a great brush that lasts, at a good price.

Comments about Robert Simmons Expression Brushes:

I use these brushes to paint or 'write' religious icons. Each brush can be depended upon to serve its purpose consistently wether that's a very fine line or a background wash. The brushes are well constructed and last a long time. Are they perfect? No, but they are very, very good!
