💡 Brush Care & Maintenance

After Each Session

Rinse in lukewarm water with mild soap. Reshape the tip while damp and let dry horizontally or bristles-down.

Deep Cleaning

Synthetics handle harsh cleaners better than natural hair, but regular thorough rinsing extends life – especially when using pigments or heavy weathering products.

Storage

Store brushes horizontally or tip-up to prevent permanent bending. Never leave them standing in water.

❓ Common Questions

Which brush should I start with?

Tabletop 0 or 1 for general work, plus a Round 0 for details. These two cover most beginner needs.

Synthetic vs natural hair – which is better?

Synthetics are more durable and easier to maintain. They spring back better and handle aggressive techniques like dry brushing. Natural hair (sable) holds slightly more paint but requires gentler care.

Can I use these with all paint types?

Yes – acrylics, oils, enamels, washes, and pigments all work well with synthetic bristles.

How do I stop my brush tip from splitting?

Never let paint dry in the bristles, reshape the tip after cleaning, and avoid pressing too hard while painting.
