Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Aquafine brush lasts, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Use: Gently remove the protective sizing from the bristles by rinsing them in lukewarm water before the first use.
- Compatibility: Best suited for transparent watercolours and gouache. Do not use with oils or harsh solvents.
- Cleaning: Rinse the brush thoroughly in cold or lukewarm water immediately after painting. Use a mild artist brush soap if pigment has settled near the ferrule.
- Drying: Reshape the bristles with your fingers to their original point after washing and store the brush flat or hanging point-down. Avoid leaving the brush standing in a water cup, as this can permanently damage the shape of the fibers.
