Connoisseur Gold Nylon Short Handle Brush Set, 15-Piece

I did a lot of searching for an affordable yet quality set of brushes, these proved to be just what I was looking for, great quality brush set, and a large variety of sizes and shapes, I am just starting to attempt oil painting and so far they have been amazing in holding shape even when I get rough.

I have a pretty good sized paintbrush collection going at this point and these recent additions are among the cheapest I've bought but ironically, they're towards the top as far as quality. I tend to be a little aggressive with brushes but that said, I can definitely say that they retain shape well, they don't shed at all, they're incredibly sturdy, the bristles are very flexible and smooth, and never coarse or frayed. There's a multitude of shapes/sizes in this set and I think no matter what 'level' of a painter you are and no matter which type of painting it is you do, you'll find some brushes in here you'll really, really like.

I'm going to buy backups! :)

I never had brushes this nice. In the picture the handles look black, but the ones I got were like this marble emerald green and they are just lovely. They are tough, in the perfect shapes and lengths. This was the only affordable set I could find, that had a fan brush in it and an angle brush. For a minute I thought a brush was gone, but it had just fallen out. Awful packaging, great product. It's a set any artist should have. It's great as back up brushes too. They are very quality brushes and I would recommend them to anyone.

I like these brushes. They work well for acrylics. Nice for a beginner set, but the paint is peeling off all of my handles.

Renoir Table Easel - Oiled Beechwood Finish

This is a really nice easel. I can use it at home and when I'm onsite. It's easy to carry, keeps a wet oil canvas protected and carries a lot of paint and brushes. I looked a long time for an easel and I'm not at all disappointed in this one that I ultimately choose. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a great tabletop easel.

I've just started oil painting a few months ago and I was looking for a good, durable table top easel that's also portable. I researched several different table top easels and ended up buying this Renoir.

I have been extremely happy with this easel. The storage drawer is quite roomy and I like the metal interior. There are adjustable metal dividers so one could tailor the partition/space to their liking. I've been able to store my long brushes, several tubes of paint and my plastic palette knives in the drawer.

The adjustable canvas holder has a groove in the horizontal bars that will hold the thin canvas panels in place. That was a nice surprise.

Tip: sInce I've been working with small 8x10 canvas panels, I ended up using some painter's tape (rolled) at the top part of my panel (back) to keep the panel from shifting while I was painting. Not a big issue with me. The canvas holder is adjustable to hold different size canvases and also adjusts at different angles. Being able to paint at slighly different angles is helpful.

When storing or taking this easel on travel, the easel is dropped back against the drawer and there's a lock in the upper corner to keep the easel from opening up. The drawer has a lock on each side to keep the drawer from opening.

I like the portability of this easel as I can basically take it wherever I want to paint. It's a great easel that is well built and very sturdy. I highly recommend this product.

Guerrilla Painter 5 by 7 Pocket Box Bag

I wonder if I am seeing a trend in merchandise that is ordered online. Recently I have ordered and received 2 items via internet that were defective in some slight way. I'm guessing that because it is such a pain to return an item thru the mail that many sellers are shipping out products that are just a *little* defective figuring that consumers will just live with them or fix them themselves.

This is the case with this, um, case from Guerrilla. One of the velcro pads on the side pocket never got sewed on. I'm sure it's just an oversight, but a rather obvious one that anyone would have noticed if you were examining it in a physical store. The case is great otherwise, but the defect is annoying. So, like many others out there, I'm going to fix it myself (pick up some velcro and sew it on). This must be the price we have to pay for the "convenience" of ordering online: we get merch that is good enough to not be worth the trouble to send back.
