What types of paint can I use with these brushes?

How should I store the brushes?

Store the brushes in a brush holder, bristles up, or lay them flat. Ensure they are dry before storing to prevent damage.

What if the bristles are shedding?

If bristles are shedding excessively, inspect the brush for damage. If it's a new brush, contact customer support for a replacement.

Can I use these brushes for detailed work?

How often should I clean the brushes?

Clean the brushes immediately after each use to prevent paint from drying and damaging the bristles.

Troubleshooting

Brushes are stiff and difficult to use.

Clean the brushes thoroughly to remove dried paint. Soak them in warm water (for acrylics/watercolors) or appropriate solvent (for oils) if necessary. Reshape the bristles after cleaning.

Paint is not flowing smoothly.

Ensure the paint is of the correct consistency. Clean the brush to remove any paint build-up. Consider the paint medium and the appropriate brush type for the application.

Bristles are shedding.

Avoid applying excessive pressure when painting. Ensure brushes are dried completely before storing. Contact support for faulty products.

Color is not blending well.

Ensure brushes are clean of previous paint colors before blending. Use a blending medium for acrylics to extend drying time and allow for better blending.
