Chinese brush, painting, beginner set. I used the brushes, trying to do a watercolor, but never used this book. The black truck was only used once…. Picture of chopstick taken to show close up (barely noticeable). All the pages are still in pack. For anyone who is interested in Asian calligraphy art were just painting in general, new hobby for the new year this is a fun little starter set. Price reflex missing original brushes. Which is why I included the Artsmith brushes.Retailed at $26 new. The only damage has been shown in the last picture and that has been from packing and unpacking when I moved. Besides that it’s been sitting up on the shelf of my closet in m art studio:officr. Ciao 💋
