Customer Review: 

>>>Inkston No. 3<<<
The No.3 brush I use « broken » (Use it almost dry scratched/split the hairs at the end to paint many random lines) which takes a bit of doing because new brushes dont like being « split ». So I have to be brutal. BUT I WANT that brush style. i WANT the end to « break » as I put pressure on the bristles. Otherwise I do not get that « scratchy scrape » across the paper and I do not get the frayed mark I need from it for the head and feathers.

>>>Inkston No. 4.<<<
The No.4 brush I use for the eyes, beak, and some colors additions. « Toning » the blacks with translucent blues which you can only appreciate when the painting is seen in real life where the light refracts.

>>>Unbroken useage.<<<
Unbroken I use the No. 3 for the Calligraphy perfectly well.
