🧹 Care Instructions for Long-Lasting Brushes
After Watercolour Use
✅ Rinse thoroughly with clean water until water runs clear
✅ Gently reshape the tip with your fingers
✅ Lay flat to dry or stand with tip pointing up
After Oil Paint Use
✅ Clean first with appropriate solvent (turpentine/mineral spirits)
✅ Then wash with mild soap and warm water
✅ Reshape and allow to dry completely
Storage & Maintenance
✅ Store dry brushes either lying flat or standing with bristles up
✅ Use original plastic covers to protect tips when available
✅ Occasionally use brush conditioner to maintain natural oils
⚠️ Never Do These:
- Leave brushes standing in water or solvent (damages ferrule and causes splaying)
- Use hot water (can damage the natural hair and loosen the ferrule)
- Store brushes bristle-down (permanently damages the tips)
- Use harsh cleaners or solvents not meant for artist brushes
