FAQs
Are these brushes suitable for oil painting?
While primarily designed for water-based media, synthetic brushes can be used with oils provided they are cleaned thoroughly with the appropriate solvents.
Can I use these for face painting?
Yes, their precision and soft synthetic tips make them excellent for fine lines in face and body art.
What is the primary difference between a rigger and a round brush?
A rigger has significantly longer hair length, which allows it to hold more liquid and create longer continuous lines than a standard round brush.
How do I store the brushes after use?
Store them in a cool, dry place with the bristle tips facing upward or laying flat in a brush case.
Are these animal-friendly?
Yes, they are made with synthetic fibers and do not contain any animal hair.
Troubleshooting
Bristles losing their shape or spreading
Clean the brush thoroughly to remove dried paint, re-wet it, and gently shape it with your fingers. Let it dry in a vertical position.
Paint not flowing evenly
Ensure the consistency of your paint is appropriate; if too thick, use a thinning medium or water to achieve a fluid consistency.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Major Brushes synthetic brushes last through many projects, always prepare them by rinsing off any manufacturing sizing before the first use. These brushes are compatible with a wide range of water-based media.
Care instructions:
- Never leave brushes sitting in a jar of water, as this can permanently warp the bristles.
- Gently wash with mild soap and lukewarm water immediately after use.
- Reshape the bristles with your fingers while damp to ensure the tip stays sharp.
- Store flat or in a brush holder with the tips pointing upward to prevent bending.
