Really nice brush. It holds lots of water or paint. I use it for watercolors and it gave me exactly the texture I was looking for.

It looks fine but the handle is too long so I will have to return it. 😩

I am currently trying to learn the bamboo bark strokes. After trying several brushes that were too soft, this one worked nicely for practicing.

Too bad. I love these brushes. Returning it is a hassle for me. Maybe I’ll try to repair it.

It is hard and inconvenient for me to buy the brushes from China directly. The seller provides the product in high quality at reasonable price. We used the brushes every week for Chinese painting, and love them!

I expected a bit better quality for this set when I purchased. They might be OK for watercolor painting but not good enough for calligraphy paintings. I’m a professional Japanese calligrapher and Sumi-E artist.

The Easyou Hu brush sales information indicates that it is 100% horse hair. I could find no information on which part of the horse the hairs come from. Hair from different parts of an animal respond differently when wet. The writing that I could decipher on the brush handle indicates that is it a "mountain horse" whatever brush. Mountain horse brushes produce sharp points. This brush does. I like the flexibility/spring of the hairs. The brush produces sharp bamboo leaves and orchid leaves. It also works well with landscape. I have been successful in painting on MEGREZ raw Chinese paper which bleeds freely.

I am disappointed by the way the small-size brush performed, it does not worth its price, actually, it did not performed as well as many lower priced brushes from other makers. I have been practicing Chinese calligraphy for 40+ years, when I need to paint to reproduce “Lang-ting-hsu” of the great calligraphy master Wang Xi Jer (Jing Dynasty), I need the brush hair to be very fine , very elastic, it takes real weasel hairs to do the job. This brush does not act like that as the maker claimed, as matter of fact, it’s craftsmanship is not fine enough to have hairs all line up and point to a sharp tip. I have to stop in the middle of a stroke to pull the few split hairs out, which ruin the smoothness of the stroke. I will not buy this product again.

The horse hair brush works well. It comes with a set of care instructions in Chinese saying that you should dissolve the glue on the brush by soaking in water, but without dissolving the glue at the base which sticks the hairs to the brush stick.

These good sturdy brushes hold their points and absorb ink/paint well.
