Jackson's Icon Brush Set B700-8,702-1/2,777-2

Great set. These brushes are amazing. Closest thing to real sable I’ve ever tried... and I’ve tried lots. They quickly became my favorite brushes by a long shot. Thanks, Jackson’s Art!

All brushes hold a lot of water/color and retain their shape. The flat and quill do excellent washes, the quill is much larger than other size 2s I have, was a nice surprise. The round is nice and snappy, I've only tested them a bit but I can tell these brushes will be my new favorites. Excellent price and quality as always from Jackson's products, high end performance for low cost.

Honestly, I wasn't expecting much from this set and, first of all, was taking them for gouache. But I was really impressed how the quill handles the watercolor and now it is my one of most used brushes! I've used squirrel quills before and don't like the fact that they have too much water and not so easily pick up a pigment. But with this one everything changed, it's perfect for my style (i use small areas of wet-in-wet and prefer constantly mixing colors directly on paper): it's not too wet, easily picks up a looooooot of pigment (sometimes even too much ha-ha), holds the point, could be used for big expressive strokes and detailing.

This set is one of my go to sets right now for my watercolor journey. A variety of brushes for different techniques. Great quality for the price.

Fab brushes, really happy with my purchase.

I have only tried these briefly, just a practice to see how they lay down and pick up water and pigment but this was enough to be impressed. Once the gum was off they went effortless back into shape and on using them I found all act very well. I have never used a quill before (I only recently started with watercolour) and if this is an example of what I can expect from a quill then I will definitely being investing in more quill brushes. The flat was equally impressive and although I didn't really need this brush I think it will probably replace the 0.5 inch flat I am currently using. But it was the round that really impressed. This brush is fantastic to control and I was able to coax lines that you would expect from a small rigger from it's wonderful point, as well as a very smooth wash. A bargain set in my opinion and I will definitely think of Jackson's Icon range first when I buy more brushes.

Good quality for my 9 year old grand daughter

Excellent brushes really delighted, they are superior in use and quality to some of my more expensive pure kolinsky brushes. Very well made, they hold a lot of water keep their shape have a lovely spring and are a pleasure to paint with. I will be purchasing more of this series of brushes in the future. Really good value for money.

very pleased with quality & standard of the brushes

Along with several other jackson's watercolour brushes i ordered this set, which i also made up in to a full set of rounds and the 3/4"" and 1"" flats -i am delighted with all the brushes -and am both surprised and delighted at the shape retention, holding capacity and pointing of the quill brush -i purchased the set knowing that i wanted the round and flat in those sizes anyway, but the quill brush was initially 'just to try out'... -i can now see it becoming a 'go to' for it's versatility, comfortable size and it also holds a lot of liquid! -all arrived in perfect condition, very well protected by plenty of packaging, and very quick delivery. These came in the 1st delivery of 2 i have so far made, and i shall be ordering again soon.

Love, love LOVE these brushes. I bought this set and now I am inseparable from my no8 round. These brushes hold the right amount of water, but still have the spring of synthetic brushes.

Incredible quality in this brush set! I absolutely love the brushes and highly recommend them. The carrying capacity of these brushes is amazing for a synthetic. I was expecting the 8 round to have a woodgrain handle like the 1/2 inch flat, but it was black and plastic in appearance. Not an issue as it's not the business end of the brush, but I thought I'd mention it.

These brushes are superb bargains! They keep an excellent point, hold lots of paint, and are well-balanced.

Good value, dispatched and delivered promptly, and informed me of progress of order. Thanks.
