Easyou Hu Brush Chinese Brush for Calligraphy and Sumi Drawing Pure Goat Hair

Great quality....better price than michaels

Holds plenty of paint nice long handle well made brush hair similar to squirrel hair (soft)

Aside from the very strange, pretty strong epoxy-like smell that is emanating from the bristles, and the crack running down the top half of my brush handle (which is why I rate it 4 stars)...this my potentially be my new favorite brush. I do LOVE how this performs with ink & watercolor, and am thinking about getting another to try with acrylic inks.

It keeps sharp point with very soft hair. I can depict thin line or paint big area. Also I can break the edge to paint grass. Very versatile brush.

I have tried many medium-priced brushes for writing small Chinese scripts. I have finally found this goat hair brush to be the one to use. Once the tip foams a fine point, it holds it much better than other brushes and that is very important to me. Other animal hair brushes tend to split after several strokes.

The major problem is that its hair head cannot keep a good tip. It is okay for a beginner.

I held a summer camp for children learning Mandarin this summer. These brushes were perfect to help them learn the proper strokes to make a lovely calligraphy project. The brushes cleaned well and we will be able to use them multiple times with good care. These were a great value and I would recommend them for future buyers.

Nice brush, can't wait to use it with watercolor. Should be a great addition in my tool box.

Best quality calligraphy brush I have got till now, would love to recommend to art enthusiasts.

I was surprised at these brushes I use water c.and I love these brushes came day early soft only difficulty they loose hair once in while not much ,and not a big problem for me .Very Satisfied 😊🎨

It's fine but the tip is not pointed enough

This is the Most perfect mop/calligraphy brush for watercolour so far.... Water holding capacity is unimaginable. Pure goat/wool hair britsles holds lots of water, that you can wash larger area in painting in just one time. Only cons is little bit smaller than i expected, slightly overpriced, & few bristles fell down while painting.. Rest on of the best brush for watercolor artist compare to any brandes mop brushes.

I wanted to see if there would be a difference between these and mid-range watercolour brushes I already have. I was pleasantly surprised that these seem "authentic" - even for this low price. The brushes came nicely packaged with a lot of Chinese writing - nothing in other languages, so I hope this means they are targeting people who really want to paint the Chinese way. The bristles behave like what I see on the brushes Chinese artists use - after you lay down a stroke, the brush stays slightly bent, making a nice precise point at the end (it doesn't "bounce" back as much as regular brush. Holds ink/watercolour nicely. A few loose hairs at the beginning of use, but that's totally normal - so far, they're performing well! Most beginners would probably only need the small brush - I found the large one to be too big if you're doing a painting on a typical 9"x12" paper.
