Artists Brushes Come in a Wide Array of Shapes and Sizes, & Are Made From a Variety of Materials
Respect the Paintbrush!
For instance, while you are painting, place your brushes upside down in a container, not standing in your water container.
Brushes have a "memory", and if they are left standing in water, they will lose their shape; making it impossible to achieve the effect they were designed to create.
Well-Cared For Brushes Last a Long Time
I recommend "Pink Soap" for artist's brushes...it has a chemical composition that breaks down the paint in your brushes.Thorough cleaning ensures a long life for your brushes!
