Try searching the archives on here.... pretty much every possible question about brushes has been answered.

Hi Vanessa, you can get really good brushes at Michaels, Joan fabrics and AC Moore. Print out a michaels 40% or 50% off a regular priced item off the internet, michaels take AC Moore, Joan takes michaels, etc. Buy one brush at a time.

I really like the Lowe Cornell brushes. Good luck shopping.

Like Shannon said, there is a lot of info on brushes if you care to look through it. Personally, I have a lot of different brushes (Royal Majestic, Loew Cornell, Simply Simmons, Wolfe, Mark Reid, etc., etc) Every brush has a "personality". Some are awesome for flower petals but stink for linework. Most of mine are synthetics but have a couple of sables. It really comes down to personal preference, painting syle, and especially skill level IMO. A great brush won't produce great lines without practice but a crappy brush is still a crappy brush even in the hand's of a good painter. Again, my opinion.
