DecoArt Rounds & Liners Set - DABK34-K

This set is best suited for water-based paints such as acrylics, gouache, and watercolors. They can also be used with standard craft paints.

Rinse the brushes under warm water and use mild soap to gently lather the bristles, removing all paint. Rinse thoroughly and reshape the bristles before allowing them to air dry.

A double-crimped ferrule securely fastens the bristles to the handle, significantly reducing the likelihood of bristles falling out during painting or cleaning, thus ensuring a more durable brush.

Yes, these brushes are excellent for beginners due to their quality, ease of use, and affordability. The selected sizes cover fundamental needs for various craft projects.

These brushes are primarily designed for water-based media. While they can be used for very light oil applications, they are not ideal and may be damaged by harsh solvents.

Liner brushes (sizes 3/0 and 0) have long, thin bristles for fine lines and details. Flat brushes (sizes 3 and 5) have broader, flat tips suitable for filling areas, creating strokes, and sharp edges.

Store brushes upright in a container with bristles facing upwards, or lay them flat. Avoid storing them with the bristles pressed down, as this can permanently damage their shape.

Ensure brushes are cleaned thoroughly after each use and reshaped properly before drying. Avoid leaving brushes soaking in water.

Check if the paint consistency is appropriate. Ensure the bristles are adequately wet (for watercolor/gouache) or conditioned (for acrylics) before picking up paint.

While the double-crimped ferrule minimizes shedding, persistent shedding may indicate excessive force during cleaning or a defective brush. Ensure the ferrule is not exposed to prolonged moisture.
