@Cecilia Submitted by Teoh Yi Chie on September 13, 2019 - 10:42am @Cecilia For A5 and A6 work, your current selection of sizes is good, #1, #4, #6 and #10. Escode Optimo is a good brush, better than Da Vinci Versatil and Casaneo. Optimo hair can go back to a point easily and has the snap. You can check out some comparison here: https://www.parkablogs.com/picture/escoda-optimo-vs-reserva-vs-versatil-... Da Vinci Casaneo is better than Versatil, but not better than the sable hair brushes such as Escoda Reserva, Optimo, Da Vinci Maestro, Rosemary. Are you referring to this set of Optimo brushes on Jackson's? That looks like a good deal. You just need to add a larger brush for painting large areas, like the size #10 you have. Maybe a squirrel or synthetic squirrel. Ultimately, if you want synthetic brushes, I would recommend the Da Vinci Casaneo. It has a nice point, holds reasonable amount of water. The only thing it doesn't have is the firmer snap back of the sable brushes, but it does go back to point. reply
