In developing this set Creative Mark went to master calligraphers in China and asked them to create a set that they would want in their studio to cover all the basic needs. The Golden Panda set has 18 brushes with traditional style Bamboo and Rose Wood handles with a wide variation of hair including goat, pony, badger and pony and goat mixed hair in a wide array of sizes. A hand varnished wood circular stand was then picked that is used not only to display brushes but to allow the brushes to hang while drying. Finally a high quality, very strong, silk covered box with a magnetic closure was selected as the storage box. It has a plush, golden silk lining and provides safe keeping of the brushes and the stand during periods of inactivity or to aide in safely transporting. As an artist you owe it to yourself to explore the free, expressive nature of Chinese calligraphy in your paintings. The Golden Panda set is a great place to start. If you already have explored this art you can now obtain this incredible set that provides you with many brushes that are simply not available in the USA and are an exclusive feature of this special set. Our price provides fantastic savings making this a true bargain. Satisfaction is guaranteed or your money back.
