It’s a good idea to mention here, just before we start painting, a couple of Dos and Don’ts relating to Brush Care. It is important to look after your brushes as they’ll last longer, and you won’t end up trying to paint with a splayed brush.

Dos

• Rinse in water after using a colour
• Wash in luke warm water or brush cleaner after a painting session
• Keep plastic covers on when not in use

Don’ts

• Leave upside down in water
• Clog the brush with too much paint
• Use good brushes for drybrushing!
