Proform PIC3-3.0 Picasso Oval Angle Beaver Tail Paint Brush 3-Inch

I have now accumulated almost every style of brush Picasso offers and I’m enjoying each and everyone. All the brushes have a nice flow to them and hold paint very well and clean up is of course easy. I feel like the Brushes have truly made me a better painter And have added more enjoyment to the process.

I've been a painter for 20 years and I'm pretty impressed with this brush. It holds a lot of paint and cuts a nice line. My only knock on it is it tends to start to fray after 3 or 4 uses. I like to just cut the stray pieces off and it seems to just keep on going strong after at least a 20 uses. I would recommend this 3" over the 2 1/2 all day.

The best paint brush so far. The best!!!

The best way to describe this brush is to call it a very soft bristled delicate paint mop. I've been painting since 1993 and I have been using this brush almost six months now. It's still in great shape. The bristles are of a very small diameter and this brush has them in abundance. Because of it's oval shape it is not a suitable brush to make crisp corners running baseboard. This Picasso is not robust enough to use on an exterior either. Where it excels above Purdy, Corona and Wooster brushes is running door casings, doors, smooth columns and touch up on smooth sprayed surfaces. The Picasso holds an impressive amount of paint and lays it on smoothly. Another reviewer stated that this brush will make a mediocre painter look good. In the hands of a good painter it will do things you've never thought could be done with a paint brush. I will always keep one of these in my box.

It's crazy how much better this brush holds paint and cuts lines than the top of the line Purdy and Wooster brushes I used to use. I've painted oils and latex with this brush and love it. I use both the 2.5" and 3" version. As I've become a much better painter, I have found that I fight the paint more on the days when I'm not using one of these ProForm oval angle brushes. Also, cleaning these brushes is a snap since no paint can hide behind the ferrel since it's solid epoxy resin. Clean them well, and they will last a long time, and you'll miss the little details that make these brushes great when you go back to your old brushes. It's my painting weapon of choice. Can't recommend enough.

Beautiful brush. Works well to trim windows and cut-in corners. I’m a pro and like Purdy, have for years. But, this brush is great too, although not Corona quality like the Chisel by Proform. I am going irking on that review.The bristles are amazing for trim as they finish perfectly and easily. Holds a good amount of paint. A bit soft for corners and too soft for getting that inch or less gap between walls and air vents and texture, like knockdown and stucco.Going forward, I will keep it in the pot as a finish brush because damn it does a great job at what it is intended for.The bristles again, are amazing. Beautiful, unbroken and takes about 15 seconds to clean to a ‘new look’ after an 8 hour shift 6 days a week. Zero broken bristles, outstanding brush.

I've been a professional painter for over 40 years. Wife jumps on stilts and helps with ceiling lines on a regular basis. Neither of us go to this brush. There is something lacking with the point that makes it difficult to connect a ceiling line at the corners. I was excited to use this as it is thicker than the usual 3" and an interesting design. I hope the manufacturers look into their trimming methods and figure out what is wrong.Our brush of choice is still a Purdy 3 1/2" angular. Silly but the 31/2" is no longer sold in pant stores or big box hardware stores. Wooster used to make a good one, but I haven't seen it in years.I do not understand why it is not popular enough to be stocked in stores. It travels much further per dip than a 3", and the point hits corners just like a smaller brush. Draw lines sideways and the width is perfect for what you need to meet up with a roller. Touch up the few narrow areas with a 1" or 1&1/2" and your are done.

20+ year painter. My line of work specializes in upper high end homes in the Pacific northwest. Ive used every brush out there. And this brush is just as good as the top name brands. This brush is more like a purdy nylox brush. But with a oval its thicker holds more paint. I wouldnt use these for exterior applications. More for fine finishes.As for the bad comments. Specifically the picture of it looking frayed ends this is how most brushes look till you dip it in paint then they hold their form. This and the 2.5" are now my top brush for finish work.
