Review: Quality, Soft and easy to brush. - This is a mop brushes set. Ideal for wet your watercolor paper or brush some areas to be wet. Carries a lot of water. I like that you can detail with the fine tip this mop brush creates. This is a soft squirrel hair brush. Brittles on its place. You can load your pigment and make your strokes easyly, freely and deliberately. I like it. Professional quality. First time I buy Dugato brand and I can tell you I can trust on it. After use them, wash them very well with conditioner soap, like Masters' and arrange the pointed shape and let them (and all your brushes) lay horizontally until get dry. You need to protect your professional tools for many years of quality use.
Review: well made brush - I love this brush. I use it for watercolors because it holds a lot of water. The brush is well made and has a comfortable handle. The hairs come to a fine point, but basically I use it as a mop brush to put down a wash...

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Where are these brushes made?**
A: They are made in China and are not worth the money. They lost their shape after the first use and forever have hairs sticking out every which way. I take really, and I mean really, good care of my brushes. Most of the ones I have are over 12 years old and still in great condition, but no matter how I  tried all my tricks of restoration, they’re still terrible. Hope that answers all the questions you might have.

**Q: Do these shed?**
A: I have been using them for last 2 months on regular basis. In fact these are my mostly used brushes due to their high quality and convenience in usage. During the first and second time I noticed one or two hair falling which I think common with all such brushes. Thereafter there was no shedding at all. Hope this answer will help you.

**Q: Do they hold up well with oil?**
A: I doubt that it would hold up with oil since mine sheds with watercolor and oil is a much heavier medium.  Hope this helps.

**Q: Are these actually real squirrel hair or just a synthetic substitute being advertised as real? Thanks**
A: I believe they are natural squirrel hair. They sure hold a lot of water, come to a fine point when they are wet and do not have much snap.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful Dome Shape, Good Quality
*by S***L on January 4, 2026*

My fav art supply store, Blick’s, is fazing out natural hair brushes which is a challenge with certain art styles. I purchased this 3 pack and the squirrel hair is so nice and soft. Beautiful dome shape. I’ve washed them quite a few times already, and it’s definitely held its shape so far. I’ll be purchasing again in the future. Even really excellent top notch quality squirrel hair brushes eventually lose their shape after so much use. I rotate my brush supply often, so glad I purchased these brushes and the quality is A+
