I bought these for their short bristles, to use on fabric. I assumed they were the same length as standard stencil brushes, 6", so I expected the diameter of the large brush to be about 3/4". Instead the large brush is is just over 4" long and the diameter is less than 1/2". The small brushes are only of use if one is trying to paint a very small area. Also, the handles are quite short and could be tiring for those with large hands.

The large brush did a good job on my project and I can recommend the quality of the product. However, I think the photo should show the scale more accurately. I didn't even think of checking the specs because stencil brushes tend to be 6" long.

Which can only be a good thing, since they are intended to be used with Shiva PaintStiks (which are sticks of oil paint, that provide a very firm creamy paint once you peel the dried "skin" off the stick). I have not used these yet, but I have used my PaintStiks directly onto fabric, and know that I need something to help me blend the colors! I tried other brushes I had around, and they were all too soft, or too large (yep, I tried an unused big boar bristle brush, like you might use to clean your cars tires or scrub canvas... it was stiff enough, but it was too huge to do the blending I wanted).

I'm looking forward to using these on some fabric that I intend to make a purse with.

These brushes arrived fast and were perfect for the small, detailed stencil I used. I even, accidentally, let the paint dry on them one night and was able to recover them with rubbing alcohol the next day -they were never quite the same, but the bristles didn't fall out like on some other cheap brushes.

These brushes are just the right bristle height and has the right amount of stiffness when working with Shiva Painstiks. I tried using craft store stencil brushes where usually the bristles are too long, and then I would have to cut them, or they were too soft and were not good for blending. These brushes are great for applying large areas of color, blending and when using and edge can give fine lines.
