How should I store these brushes?

Store the brushes with the bristles facing upwards or horizontally, in a brush holder or container.

Can I use these brushes for watercolor paints?

While these brushes can handle various mediums, they are specifically designed for oil and acrylic paints, and may not perform as well with watercolors.

What are the benefits of the long handles?

The long handles provide extended reach and better control, especially when painting on an easel or a large canvas.

What brush shapes are included in the set?

The set includes a variety of shapes and sizes to accommodate diverse painting techniques, from fine details to broad strokes.

How do I prevent the bristles from splaying?

Clean the brushes thoroughly after each use, reshape the bristles while wet, and allow them to dry completely before storage. Avoid leaving brushes soaking in water or solvents.

Troubleshooting

Bristles splay or lose shape.

Clean the brush properly after each use, ensuring all paint is removed. Reshape the bristles while wet and allow to dry properly. Avoid leaving brushes soaking in water or solvents for extended periods.

Paint is not applying smoothly.

Ensure the brush is loaded with an appropriate amount of paint. Check for dried paint in the bristles and clean thoroughly. The paint consistency may be too thick or thin; adjust with the appropriate medium.

Bristles are shedding.

Check for any damage to the brush. Avoid harsh cleaning methods. If shedding continues, it may be time to replace the brush.
