They have always been difficult to find, at least in the pre internet days. I should order a few !<br /><br />In the Compendium, Henry Hyde reports a lot of complaints about brushes not holding their point and speculates it is due the transition from Oils to acrylics, thus lacking the residual "oil" in the brush to keep its shape.

The rest from either Walmart or JoAnn's (with sale coupon). They definitely are examples of "you get what you pay for." Probably will need to spend more time (& money) for a replacements someday.

According to my experience the long haired brushes have a tendency to react like Natholeon describes above, or a least 50% of them will do this after a while.
