Limited lifetime warranty against defects in workmanship.
We make our brushes and palettes to last, and we stand behind them. If something goes wrong because of how it was made, we'll put it right.
Covered: defects in workmanship during the product's normal working life, such as paint flaking off a handle after a few sessions, hairs coming loose from the ferrule, or bristles bent on arrival.
Not covered: normal wear (a fine tip wears with painting), misuse and accidents.
Check new brushes and palettes when they arrive and register them straight away: workmanship defects usually show in the first few sessions.

30-day returns
If you're not happy with your order, email support@dartisanshoppe.com within 30 days of purchase, whether the product is new or used. We'll send you a return number (RMA) and the return address. Return postage is yours to pay, and we recommend a tracked service.
Once your return arrives, we refund the product price (shipping and handling aren't refundable). Processing takes about a week, and your bank may take up to 7 more business days. Full details are in our refund policy.
To keep a fine point longer: rinse as you work, reshape the tip, cap it, and dry it flat. Don't store brushes tip-down or wet.

The triangle handle
The triangle handle
Steady hands, crisp detail. The flat-sided triangle handle sits between thumb and fingers and won't roll off the desk, so the tip lands where you look.
Easier on your hands over a long session. Thin, round handles make your grip clench after the first hour. The wider triangle profile spreads the pressure across your fingers for an evening on a squad of figures or a detailed canvas.
Paints and projects

For the paints and projects you love. Acrylic, watercolour, gouache, oil and enamel on miniatures, tabletop and RPG figures, scale model kits, dioramas, paint by number and fine detail art.
First use and care
First use and care
Don't skip step one. Straight from the box, the tips carry a light protective coating that keeps them straight in transit. Swirl them in warm water before first use. Cap them and dry them flat, not tip-down, so the fine tips keep their shape longer.
What's in the box

The quality.
I purchased the brushes for detail work and they did not disappoint.
I have gone thru a lot of brushes in my 64 years painting. Once I found this set they became my go-to brush set for all of my detail work in both acrylics and oils. My students now own the same sets and all are very happy with them. For a synthetic set, you can hardly beat them and the price is so reasonable that it's easy to have extras waiting in the drawers. I wash my brushes at least a couple of times a week with dish soap. It really keeps them in a super condition. Highly recommend them. JESS ANDERSON
Small enough for detail
I paint arrows at my work and these brushes have been amazing. They are great for fine lines and comfortable to hold. I use these everyday sometimes 8 hours a day and they have held up great. I would highly recommend this.
So I paint miniatures as a hobby, and I bought these because they looked a good quality at a good price point. I don't do it as a full time job or a living, so others who do may find they have different experiences. In one of my pictures you can see the size difference between these brushes and the #1 Valejo starter brush. In the other you can see them with my scissors and craft knife for size comparison.
I used these off and on for about a month to see which brushes I was drawn to more, and more often than not it was these. They're comfortable to hold, they flow smoothly, clean well (even pigmented India inks and primers, the primer being the hardest) and so far the tips haven't curled. I take pretty good care of my brushes, so I have confidence that these will be around for a good bit. Kuddos to the manufacturer!
Pretty good brushes, they came packaged amazingly well and are extremely comfortable to hold while painting. I also appreciate the great storage back and case for them. I've found there is room to store my other lesser quality brushes in the same tube and protect all of them.
Having used them several times now the tips are holding their point pretty well. I'm quite careful with my brushes both when painting and cleaning and have seen only the slightest separation of the fine point on them after having done several miniature models with them. I don't think they will last super long and I didn't expect that, but if they crank out a hundred models or so before I move them into my junk pile of brushes that is fine. I'll use them to do less detailed work at that point.
Only problem is there have been several stray bristles that are just not interested at all in being straight or even pointing in the right direction. I hated having to cut some of those away from the brush but there was no other option in order to use them without stray paint lines across my models.
Perfect entry level brushes great for the price, they do well for most any hobby painter and there is nothing wrong with using cheaper brushes for your minis, these were a good buy.
I couldn't be happier with my Minute XII series. The twelve brush set is perfect for microrealism painting. Brushes are superbly crafted
I received the Maestro Series XV as a gift, and I bought the minature detail brushes. These brushes are wonderful! 1 brush in the XV set was damaged on arrival. I emailed the company, and after a very polite and promp response, I recieved a replacement brush 2 days after I sent the initial email. The brush arrived so protected in bubble wrap, there was zero chance of it arriving damaged. I would buy from this company again.
High quality with a price to match. Grand kids love them.
I do a lot of detail painting and this assortment helps a lot.
Used daily for painting models. Ideal for fine detail work.
These are the best artists brushes I've ever owned! Hold their shape very well!
Love my new paint brush set! Thank you!
I bought a set of these for myself to add fine lines to watercolor art work. A fellow artist kept admiring them. So, for her birthday...I gifted her these lovely brushes that come in a great container with a drawstring bag to store them.
These brushes are great
I like the set. The grips are positioned a little too far back but you still have room to grip closer if needed.
We go through brushes here and enjoy the hold on these as well as the ability to hold paint.
I love to paint, but I'm very picky about the end results. These brushes are for the fine lines and hard to get spots. In my area they are hard to find and very spendy when you do find them, so for me this is a deal.
Was a gift. Great price, he loved tem.
Perfect for painting miniatures, shipped fast and as described

Using for detailed painting of ceramics for high school student.
Work amazing
Ive been using cheap brushes and decided to upgrade. Man, am I glad I did. These make applying the paint evenly and with more precision way easier than cheaper brushes. Getting into small areas on the models is a bit easier, and overall the quality really shows.
These brushes are beautiful, the handles are great to hold and the bristles are smooth and perfect.
Great for fine lines
Being a Novice can't say I have done justice to these fine Brushes
