AIEX Miniature Painting Brushes Watercolor Reviews Summary

Handle and Grip

Pros:

• "These brushes have ergonomic handles that make for a better hold."
• "I like the triangle handle."
• "They have an ergonomic shape and sit well on my hands, and they're very easy to clean."
• "The handle/grip is the best part allowing you to paint in comfort."
• "I like that they have larger finger grips to help with finger cramping, but the grips are too far up the handle, in my opinion."

Cons:

• "These brushes are too heavy and the bristles are too long for my liking."
• "They are supposed to be ergonomical but the fingers pads are actually very uncomfortable and they hurt."
• "Be careful not to let them soak in water because the handles are wooden and will crack."
• "the triangle shape is not helpful, they don't come completely clean either."
• "First time trying the triangular grip but realized I roll my brushes when I paint so these were not conducive to my needs."
• "I like the fine tip bristles of these artist painting brushes, but I don't like that the handles are so long cause they don't fit in my compact artist paint travel kits."
• "The handle was a bit big for my small hands but once I figures out the technique this was a bit of charm to work with."
