FAQs

Can I use these for oil painting?

These brushes are optimized for watercolor and acrylic paints. They may not hold up as well against the heavy solvents required for oil painting.

Are these suitable for young children?

Yes, their durable design and user-friendly handle sizes make them excellent for students and children learning to paint.

What is the best way to store them?

Store them in a cup or jar with the bristles facing upward, or lay them flat in a brush roll to prevent bending.

Do the bristles shed frequently?

These brushes are constructed for durability, but ensure you are not using excessive force during painting to maintain the integrity of the bristles.

Are these brushes vegan?

The set uses nylon bristles, which are synthetic and not derived from animal hair.

Troubleshooting

Bristles are stiff after drying.

Gently massage the bristles between your fingers to break up dried paint residue and rinse with warm water.

Paint is stuck inside the ferrule.

Soak the brush in a mild brush cleaner or soapy water for 10 minutes, then gently brush it against a texture mat or your palm to release the trapped pigment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your brushes remain in peak condition, follow these care instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Immediately after use, rinse the brushes thoroughly under warm water until no pigment remains in the bristles. For acrylics, ensure paint has not dried on the ferrule (the metal part).
  2. Drying: Reshape the bristles with your fingers after rinsing and lay them flat or store them bristle-up to dry completely. Never leave them sitting in a jar of water for extended periods, as this can damage the handle and loosen the glue.
  3. Compatibility: These nylon brushes perform best on canvas, paper, and porous craft surfaces. Avoid using them with harsh chemical solvents, as these can degrade the nylon fibers.
