Yes, they can be used for watercolors, particularly when you need to create texture or scrub color, though they are firmer than standard soft synthetic watercolor brushes.
Store them horizontally or head-up in a jar to keep the bristles from deforming.
These brushes are better suited for broad strokes and texture; for fine detail, you may need a smaller synthetic round brush.
Use a mild brush soap or gentle dish soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that can strip the natural oils from the hair.
These brushes use natural Chungking bristles, which are animal-derived.
Avoid pressing too hard against the canvas; reshape the wet brush into its original form after cleaning and let it dry flat.
Use a gentle brush soap and work the lather into the base of the bristles, rinsing thoroughly until no pigment residue remains.
Avoid soaking the brush handle in water or solvent jars for long periods, as this can degrade the protective lacquer.
Before using these brushes for the first time, gently flex the bristles to remove any sizing used during the manufacturing process. When using with oil paints, ensure you clean the brushes thoroughly with an appropriate solvent followed by soap and water to prevent the oil from hardening at the base of the ferrule. For acrylics, never allow the paint to dry on the brush, as the natural hairs are porous and can easily retain pigment. Always store brushes flat or head-up to preserve the integrity of the shape, and avoid leaving them resting in water, which can damage the wooden handles and loosen the ferrule over time.
