Best Mop Art Paintbrushes of 2025

"I've been an oil painter for over 26 years, and I was thrilled to find this brush on Amazon. I bought two to replace my old ones. Highly recommend this brush if you're looking for this type!"

"This is one of my favorite blenders. I can blend both soft and hard textures with the same soft brush. Just a minor issue: I need to squeeze the ferrule to keep the bristles firmer, as I dislike losing bristles in my work."

"As a beginner painter, this brush is exactly what I needed. Very satisfied with my purchase!"

"I find the long handle really useful. It works great for creating tree leaves with acrylics."

"I love these brushes! They hold a lot of paint, and when it comes to blending, they are big, fluffy, and smooth."

"This mop brush has become my favorite. It's just the right size for me and doesn't overwet the paper while I do washes."

"I find these brushes absolutely wonderful! If you're using them correctly, they are perfect for washes and covering large areas quickly. Sure, a hair or two might fall out, but that’s normal. They do their job exceptionally well!"

"I purchased this brush for fine details in watercolor, and while it worked fine initially, it now won’t hold a tip. The hairs have frayed out to the side, but I’m sure I can find another use for it."

"As a mixed media artist, I do a lot of spreading inks and watercolor paints on various surfaces. I’m delighted that this brush is still available because it performs well every time!"

“This brush is well made and durable, perfect for my acrylic painting needs.”

“After breaking it in, this brush has become invaluable for my oil painting, especially with the wet on wet technique. Minor mistakes disappear easily, and I can't recommend it enough!”

“I use this for painting dolls and find it comparable to pricier brands. It doesn't lose bristles, which is crucial for my dry mopping technique.”

"I found this brush to be perfect for the amount of canvas I was covering!"

"Although I think it's a bit pricey, I prefer the Qivange Makeup Brushes set for better value."

"Unfortunately, this brush left too many bristles on my canvas, and despite washing it multiple times, it still had a strong, unpleasant smell. I requested a refund."

"I use this brush not just for varnishing but for texture and blending as well. It's quickly becoming one of my favorite brushes. After cleaning, it’s easy to reshape and there’s no shedding at all."

"This is my go-to blending and varnish brush. I have four of them, and one is dedicated solely for varnish."

"I've owned this brush for several years and find it to be a great tool for varnishing my finished paintings. It’s excellent overall and totally worth the price!"

"The brush arrived promptly and is very soft, which was exactly what I needed. I did take off some stars because for over $20, I expected it not to be frayed. Unfortunately, mine is on both sides. It arrived in a large box without padding, which may have caused the damage, but I need it for a project, so I’ll just keep it."

"I'm impressed with the fineness of this brush and the smooth finish it delivers."

"I thought this would be similar to a mop brush, like how Bob uses it. However, it wasn’t what I expected."

"Unfortunately, I have to send it back."

"I was thrilled to receive my brush the next day! It’s perfect for picking up excess watercolor from my paper. I already have a larger 1” brush, but this 1/2” size is exactly what I needed for smaller areas. Plus, it was on sale!"

"As a beginner, I've found that a good brush makes a big difference in my painting. This brush has exceeded my expectations and makes my experience much more enjoyable."

"I really like these brushes! They're among the best synthetics I've used at this price point. I paint miniatures with acrylics and the results have been fantastic. They hold a good amount of paint and flow beautifully, quickly becoming my workhorse brush!"

"I find this brush great for acrylic and watercolor mediums. The bristles are smooth with soft/medium firmness, which works especially well with acrylic paints. If I can catch it on sale, it's even more fabulous. I'm really happy with my purchase."

"I used this brush to clean dust off my laptop. It seemed bigger in the picture, so I would recommend getting a larger one if your use-case is similar to mine :)"

"I received my brush very quickly and in great condition. It was described as small - a mini mop, so I expected the handle to be short rather than a regular length. Other than that, it works just fine for my painting needs."

"I always choose the Cotman series by Windsor Newton for my watercolor painting. I've been getting great results with them."

"I was a bit misled by the photos and ended up believing I was purchasing multiple brushes. I received it a few days late, which I attribute to Amazon. I feel really disappointed."

"I’m very pleased with this brush; it arrived just as described. I actually bought it for sugarcraft, to apply lustre powders to sugarpaste, and it did the job perfectly. The brush is soft, full, and shows no sign of bristle loss so far. I would definitely recommend it to others."
