Santa Fe Art Supply Artist Brush Set Review #SantaFeArtSupplyArtistBrushSet
Are you looking for an affordable set of art paint brushes? Do you ever purchase your art supplies online? We are sharing our art journals and a new set of paint brushes that we received for free, in exchange for our honest review. Hot summer days have finally hit us. Temperatures reaching 105 degrees. What’s a girl to do? Catch up on her painting, illustration and journaling under a cool fan blowing.
On this day, I was pretending I was an artist in the South West such as Georgia O’Keeffe had been. Spending some me time with my daughter. Yep, when it’s too hot to handle the outdoors you just have to grab your paint brushes and paint. Honestly, it seems like forever since I opened my multi media sketch book. I go through long stretches and then catch up like crazy. But, on this day I was also inspired to by try out a new set of artist paint brushes.
It was perfect timing for us as we were looking for a new set of artist paint brushes.We had picked up new multi media sketch books recently. I have to admit I don’t always give my brushes the best care unless they are my better ones. Sometimes I will buy the cheap ones (having kids) and they crash and burn so to speak, ending up in the trash heap. Partially because they aren’t made well, partially because there are ways to care for your paint brushes to make them last longer.
Of course whether to share your brushes with kids or not can be a whole other subject. Now that Sammie is gotten older and learned how to care for paint brushes, we teamed up on a painting challenge using our new multi media journals and our new paint brushes.
We received Santa Fe Art Supply Artist Paint Brush Set for our honest review of the art supplies. I knew I’d be taking good care of them after opening them up and using them. We are sharing our gouache illustrations along with our honest review of these brushes.

The first thing I did was unwrap these beauties and pull the special protective covers off the fine brushes. They came packed very well.
The brushes come with a card telling you that you should
- Rinse brushes with soapy water
- Clean water rinse prior to first time use
- Always air dry prior to storing. Which is super important to do!
These brushes are made with long wooden gloss finish handles in a range of sizes. I typically don’t use long handle brushes for my illustration but, didn’t have any problem using these brushes. They aren’t heavy, are made with a fine nylon quality synthetic hair and come in a range of sizes to suit your painting needs. Sizes 000-12, with plenty of shapes. We received a bonus #1 fine short handle one in the set too. (Just scroll down to see the full set.)
Of course I already have my favorite brushes for painting. A fine tip and angle brushes are two that I used the most when painting details. The fine tip for details and the angle for getting into those curves and tough spots. The nice thing about practicing painting is you get to the point where you just know what brush to grab for to tackle what your doing. If you’ve never tried painting just do it! It’s fun.
I wanted to try a few of the other brushes so I mixed up the background with layers using different brushes such as the 12, 9 and 3 the fan brush. I don’t shy away from playing with color. Well, it’s not South West art, or in a Georgia O’Keeffe style but, there are South West colors in this.
First we challenged ourselves to both create the pineapple illustrations. Above is Sammie’s pineapple illustration, the first was mine. Then, Sammie went on her own illustration journey.
She painted a summer girl illustration. I was surprised she didn’t paint an anime character or kawii style as she is really into drawing them. Maybe next time? I am proud of how good she is getting with her artwork at such as young age. I love spending time with her and seeing her creativity. It’s the perfect summer thing to do when it’s too hot.
Since it was the first day of summer I painted an ice cream illustration. Maybe the heat that had me thinking of way to cool off? Do you buy your art supplies online? We do, quite a bit as we live in a smaller town. Our one supply store has a limited selection.
This is a quality paint brush set for the beginner to seasoned artist.

Our Final thoughts on the Santa Fe paint brush set:
I honestly can say we love the brush set. We used our gouache paint set along with the brushes. I also used a few acrylics and watercolors. I haven’t tried them with oils yet but, you can! The bristles are neatly and securely tucked into the ferrule of the brushes. I think this brush set is great for beginners and artists alike.
And if well cared for will last you a long time. The handles are nice, smooth and light weight. One thing I didn’t get was instructions on how to set up the case for using, as shown in the image above. Then I realized it’s just so easy. You just peel backing off the velcro, bend the back, that’s behind the brushes in half and adhere it to the Velcro for ease of use! The case is sturdy, comes with a zipper pull, Velcro for keeping secure, convenient and well made. This would make a great set for anyone, for yourself or a gift.

Do you enjoy painting? What types of paint would you use with these brushes?
Ah, thanks Lauren! Glad you liked our paintings.
Thanks so much Julie! Yes, we are having fun starting to fill our mixed media journals with paintings.
This makes me want to paint! Even though I’m terrible at fine art, I think this would be so much fun to do with my daughter when she’s a bit older. (She does already like paint, though!)
Bev, I don’t think you need to be good at fine art to enjoy painting at all. Pick up a brush and have fun with your daughter. I’ve been painting with mine since she was a toddler. The more you do it you’ll find you just get better too! Thanks for stopping by! Have a great summer.
I am starting to get into painting! I never realized how soothing and (spiritual) it could really be. I’d love this brush set! Thanks for sharing the info on them!
Hi Phyllis, I love painting too, glad to hear your enjoying it too. Yes, it’s a nice brush set if you ever need new ones these are worth owning. Happy painting!
