Questions & Answers

Is this squirell hair that has been synthesized?

It ought to be that way. Mimik makes a synthetic hog bristle brush line as well as a synthetic kolinsky sable brush line. The pale blue, on the other hand, I believe is synthetic squirrel. I got one as a free sample at first. They've become a favorite, outperforming my more expensive sable brushes on a regular basis. They take a beating and continue to paint despite the damage. And if they eventually fail, it won't break your heart.

Do you get all of the brushes for that price? I once ordered a set similar to this and it stated in small print that you only get one brush. ?

I received all of the brushes, which are nice and soft and spring back into shape when you use them.

What brush sizes are included in the package?

wash size 2" 3/4" flat size; round size 30; length 2; round size 4; round size 8; 12" in diameter; round size two Each brush was labeled with the information from the back of the package.

On the brush handle, what size is it stated?

Look at the item's description for all available sizes.

Selected User Reviews For Creative Mark Mimik High Performance Professional Artist Synthetic Squirrel Hair Watercolor Brush- Flat 1"

When I first started painting with watercolors, I invested in high-quality supplies
5/5

When I first started painting with watercolors, I invested in high-end brushes (black velvet) and Princeton Neptunes. I later bought these Mimik brushes, and I wish I had bought them first because they work great and are reasonably priced. Start with these brushes if you're a beginner; you won't be disappointed.

I'm extremely disappointed
3/5

  I bought these hoping that the size 30's shedding problems were a one-off, but I can tell you now that it sheds like a sickly cat. I have a few Mimik squirrel brushes that I really like (not from this set). I can't help but wonder if this is just a quality control issue, or if this set of Mimiks is fairly old and this problem has been solved in a later iteration, because the ones I have didn't shed nearly as much. What is to be expected? br>The shedding on the 30 was so bad that my sister and I made a game out of seeing how long it would take to shed its bristles from basic brush strokes (spoiler: it took a long time). It never truly came to an end. While I was repackaging it to send back, it continued to shed). br>There's only one brush in this set that's a problem, which is unfortunate because it's the only thing dragging the rest of the set down. Unfortunately, I can't replace a single brush without replacing the entire set, so if the replacement set has the same problems, my rating will remain unchanged. It could've been a lot worse for a $31 brush set, but the fact that the rest of the brushes are so nice adds to the disappointment. ETA: There was no shedding with the replacement set. As a result, it's almost certainly a quality assurance issue.

There will be no shedding! I was looking for a good basic set of watercolor brushes, and these surprisingly perform admirably! I've already used them a few times and haven't noticed any shedding, which was one of my main concerns
4/5

So far, they've kept their shape and are able to hold a reasonable amount of water. These are something I'd buy again.

Top- Exceptional vendor! Although a respected artist recommended the brush, the bristles began to fall out the first time I used it
5/5

When I contacted the seller, a replacement was immediately sent. It's fantastic, and the seller was extremely helpful and responsive. It is unavoidable that there will be a defective item among the group. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from this seller again because of how they responded. Thank you very much.

They're absolutely beautiful! ♡
5/5

I can't get over how soft these are! I'm not used to using brushes like this - I like the kind that can hold a lot of water, but I also like how they stay on point. P. br>br>P. br>br>P. br>br>P. You'll need to clean these before using them (I believe they used filler on the brushes or something to make them ship and handle well). ) It takes a little patience and some water, but they come out perfectly soft and workable! I also didn't have any hair loss, which I noticed was a concern in some reviews.

When I need to hold something, I reach for my Kolinsky brushes
5/5

When I need to hold a lot of water, I use my Kolinsky brushes. I use these Creative Mark Mimik when I need less water and more control; they also lift color more easily.

Brushes are excellent
5/5

This brush set has made my life a lot easier. The brushes are similar to squirrel hair in that they are soft and hold a lot of color. The cost is unbeatable. If you bought just one of the brushes, the 2 inch wash brush and the no. 30 large round, it would cost as much as the set. These are the best synthetic brushes available, regardless of price.

Amazing brushes at a great price
4/5

These brushes are fantastic! If I ever needed to, I'd get a new set. I'll definitely be adding more of their brushes to my collection after hearing about them from a fellow YouTuber. I strongly advise you to visit them if you're interested in painting with watercolors. They are great artist quality products that hold a lot of water. I recommend checking out Jerry's Artorama first (they are the seller, but their website usually has them cheaper). The only reason I gave four stars was because I paid ten dollars more than what was advertised on the website. However, their website stated that shipping would take much longer than the 2 days promised by Amazing. It seemed a little deceptive to me. However, the product itself receives a perfect score of 5 out of 5 stars.
