FAQs

Are these brushes suitable for oil paints?

These brushes are optimized for water-based media like acrylics, watercolours, and poster paint; they are not recommended for oil paints or harsh chemical solvents.

How many brushes are in one pack?

Each individual set contains 5 brushes, and this purchase includes 12 sets, totaling 60 brushes.

Can these be used for fabric painting?

Yes, they can be used for fabric painting using water-based fabric paints, provided they are cleaned immediately after use.

Are the handles made of wood or plastic?

The brushes feature a comfortable design intended for easy handling, typically constructed from lightweight materials suitable for classroom use.

Do I need to wash them before the first use?

It is recommended to gently rinse the brushes with lukewarm water to remove any dust or manufacturing residue before starting your first project.

Troubleshooting

Bristles appearing splayed or misshapen

Reshape the damp bristles with your fingers and leave them to dry in a vertical position with the tips pointing upward.

Paint stuck at the base of the bristles

Use a gentle soap and warm water to massage the base, then rinse thoroughly until the water runs clear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High volume of 60 brushes provides great value for group activities
  • Versatile design works well with common student paints
  • Comfortable grip suitable for younger artists and beginners
  • Easy to clean after using water-based paints

Cons

  • Not suitable for high-precision fine art techniques
  • Durability is optimized for casual craft use rather than heavy-duty professional painting
  • Bulk packaging may require separate storage containers for individual sets

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before the first use, gently fan the bristles to loosen any factory sizing. When using these brushes, always rinse them thoroughly in lukewarm water immediately after use to prevent paint from drying within the ferrule. Avoid leaving brushes resting in water containers for extended periods, as this can damage the handle finish and loosen the bristles. To dry, place them flat or bristle-up in a jar to maintain the original shape of the tips. These brushes are compatible with all standard water-based craft paints and should be stored in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain their shape and integrity.
