Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These brushes require no specific setup beyond being ready for use straight out of the packaging. It is recommended to rinse them gently in cool water before their first use to remove any manufacturing residue.
Compatibility: Compatible with a wide range of media including watercolours, gouache, oils, and acrylic paints. The brush hairs are designed to handle various paint consistencies.
Care: To ensure longevity and maintain performance:
- Clean Immediately: After each use, rinse the brush thoroughly under lukewarm water to remove as much paint as possible.
- Gentle Washing: Use a mild soap or brush cleaner to gently work through any remaining paint in the bristles. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
- Rinse Thoroughly: Ensure all soap residue is rinsed away.
- Reshape and Dry: Gently reshape the bristles with your fingers and lay the brushes flat or hang them bristles-up to dry. Avoid standing them bristles-down, as this can damage the hairs.
- Storage: Store brushes in a clean, dry place, preferably in a brush holder or case to protect the bristles from damage.
