Rosemary and Co are a great company to deal with, reasonable prices and very fast supply, but their web site can be a bit overwhelming because they have so many ranges. I have posted pictures of my brushes to make life a little easier in that respect and to hopefully show the differences between them. Of those sets you’ve posted I seriously think you would get more for your money by buying a select few brushes from someone like Rosemary. There are a lot of tiny brushes there which will not last long in service. Equally, don’t go for the top end Raphael or Winsor and Newtons until you have the basics nailed down. They are an expensive learners tool that will not improve your painting until you develop the skills and brush control to make best use of them. You are likely to kill them fairly quickly until proper brush care is second nature as well.
