Like all of the Bob Ross brushes and products, this filbert is very well constructed. The bristles are high quality, and the brush itself is sturdy and feels good to use. I will say, however, that due to the stiffness of the natural bristles, it requires some learning when applying small stones and rocks using Bob’s technique. Overall, however, I’m extremely happy with this product.Looks good feels goodExactly what I needed. I had every BR brush except this one. I'm glad i didn't listen to some reviews about made in China crap. This is an original made in Germany BR brush.When it arrived I put it with all my painting supplies and didn’t get around to using it for a few months. When I went to use it the item was possibly used and not properly cleaned and the bristles where all stuck together and damaged!! Genuinely upsetting that anyone does that sort of thing. UPDATE: I’m a new painter so I didn’t realize this was something that can be common with new brushes for oil. After using the brush it works well and I am happy with it. Not all the crunchyness went away but I learned how to use that to my advantage and I like the brush overall.I have taken up painting some of Bob Ross’s works. And this was a good addition to my brushes to achieve certain effects.Love these brushes?i like it and it does what i need it to doThis brush is amazing for detail. This brush can be used to created clouds, round objects, rock texture, mountain texture, grass hills, tree detail according to personal experience. This brush is not too firm but not too soft which makes easier to use for any level painter.It is OK but not as good as a previous Bob Ross I purchased. This one has a few irregular bristles and it does not give as good definition as my mixed bristle brush. Delivery time was longer than expected.It does its job.I would definitely recommend great brushVery satisfied with it. Excellent seller.A++++++++++quality brush great price
