I absolutely love these brushes. First of all the case is so nice. A spot for each brush. I paint with Unicorn Spit and these are so nice to use. There is a brush for everything. The small detail brushes have covers on them. Good quality bristles that don't fall apart painting. Each brush is numbered. I use the palette knife to stir my paints when diluted . I have used the sponges, easy to clean and don't come apart. Love these
