I am using the newton and windsor range of brushes, but I was recommended these brushes- Pro Arte acrylix.
and I was wondering if anyone else has used them.

I have found that they hold and shed paint and keep their point much better than the newton brushes which are really for water colour.

The reason people say the Sables are the best is because theyre thinning the paints right down to be very similar to water colours - milky acrylics. And then they layer them up for nice blends. The High end water colour brushes lend themselves to this, but not so much with thicker non-thinned acrylics.

I thin down 1:1 with pure water, but still this brushes out perform so far the much more expensive ones.

Found this blog post on them:

Can't find them on DickBlick or Amazon US (under size 2), but if you can find a link, post!

I found a link to the makers website.
