Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Daler-Rowney Georgian Oil Brush, follow these care instructions:
- Initial Preparation: Rinse the brush gently with mild soap and water before the first use to remove any factory sizing.
- Painting Setup: Use with oil paints. Avoid using with water-based acrylics, as natural bristles can be damaged by water over time.
- Cleaning: After each session, wipe off excess paint with a rag. Clean the brush using a specialized oil brush cleaner or a mild soap, massaging the bristles gently to ensure all pigment is removed from the ferrule.
- Storage: Always reshape the head with your fingers while damp and store the brush flat or hanging bristles-down to prevent the head from warping or collecting dust.
