The Blossom & Bee Brush - A small combo (white goat and black wolf) combo brush - About the size of a bee, it is a slim, soft brush with a little bounce or spring to do petals in freestyle.   It makes plum blossom petals, even soft radiating stroke petals (unlike a baiyun which spreads too easily), small flowers with ruffled edge strokes such as small poppies and carnations,  and small soft-edge leaves.    Use the tip vertically for very small flowers. Excellent for bee bodies, their wings, and insect bodies and wings.  

Please excuse this used brush - all white brushes pick up colors from the Chinese paints and inks.  

Retail value $9-15 for small combo petal brushes.  My student price: $4.50 

A hybrid bird and flower combo brush shaped like a hummingbird head and beak.  I has very fine soft white goat exterior, with a purple rabbit interior which is firm.  It has a chubby bulb shape ending in a firm and responsive black tip.  It paints exquisite strokes which mimic the feathers of birds, and makes glorious flowers with built-in striations.  It has a smooth dark wood handle.  It also does stems and leaves beautifully.  It can do all kinds of petals, even the smallest ones, and can do ruffled edge strokes on medium to large flowers, and leaves with jagged edges as you jiggle the brush.  One of my favorites.  

This is also a used brush so please excuse.
