Creates a broad bru
shstroke, but if you
turn it so
you’re leading with
the narrow edge,
it’ll produce thin
brushstrokes.
• Do not store brushes in
cramped quarters where
the hairs can get bent out of
shape and break.
• Be gentle when using colour
blocks, coarse scrubbing can
damage the hairs and force
paint into the ferrule.
• Clean brushes immediately
after use.
• Try not to soak handles.
Wetting handles will cause
cracking and loosening of
the ferrules. Dry handles after
every cleaning and store ﬂat
or hanging.
Cleaning Brushes
Water-based media - Rinse
the brush several times in clean
water. Lather up the brush and
swirl it around in the palm of
your hand, then rinse.
Other media - Rinse the brush
in solvent. Wipe the brush back
and forth on paper towels
or rags to work the solvent
throughout the brush and
remove all colour.
