Care Instructions: To ensure the longevity and performance of your pure bristle brushes:
- Cleaning: After each use, clean the brushes thoroughly. For water-based paints (watercolor, acrylic, gouache), rinse immediately with warm water until all paint is removed. For oil paints, use appropriate brush cleaner or turpentine, followed by soap and water.
- Drying: Gently wipe excess water from the bristles with a soft cloth or paper towel. Reshape the bristles to their original form while damp.
- Storage: Store brushes bristles-up in a container or laid flat to prevent bending. Avoid storing them with the bristles pressed against a surface. Ensure they are completely dry before storing for extended periods.
