GoodFancy Brushes
Are you looking for fancy looking yet high quality brushes? Many retail stores sell fancy but low-grade brushes. They are fine if you want to display them rather than use them. However, real artists with trained eyes know that these types of brushes simply are not worth the money saved. The following are some of our best and most unique looking brushes. The prices of our high-grade brushes are better than the cost of some of the lower-grade brushes sold in retail stores because we eliminate middle men and our office and warehouse space costs less than an expensive retail store front. Many beginners opt for cheap brushes thinking they will buy better ones when their skill improves. However, a low quality brush does not perform and it will hinder your efforts and can even discourage you from continuing. In many ways it’s more important for a beginner to have a good brush that will make learning easy.

I recently bought the small Destiny, Wishing brush #3 and the Religious Scripture Brush. I am amazed at how well these brushes perform! The Destiny seems to move by itself across the paper and the Wishing Brush 3 holds massive amounts of Ink. Both of these brushes snap back to a fine point at the slightest release of pressure on the tip. The Religious Scripture Brush also seems to hold a vast amount of Ink and is working well for me in my Sutra copying practice. It too has a very good “Snap” quality but in a bit different way, its slightly slower in its response making it perfect for the smaller characters I work with in Sutra copying. Due to the amount of Ink it holds, it is a great choice for smaller running characters. As you can tell, I am extremely happy with these three brushes. This was my first purchase from Good Characters but not the last, the quality of the items coupled with the professional attitude of the staff speaks volumes about the principals with which they adhere. The word is that there may be a couple of “New” Religious Scripture Brushes added to the catalog in the coming weeks. I cant wait!
