Brushes with Acrylic

Paint Brushes (shop brushes) are an extremely important factor in achieving superior results from acrylic paint. Most brushes used for oil painting are also suitable for acrylics. If the paint is to be diluted and used like watercolor, a sable or synthetic soft hair brush is recommended to ensure smooth, soft strokes. Synthetic sable brushes are a better all-around choice for acrylic painting because they’re more economical, softer and have a lighter touch than natural hair brushes. Synthetic Acrylic Painting Brushes are also easier to clean and will withstand the tough demands of acrylic paint.

Watercolor Brushes (shop watercolor brushes) One of the greatest things about watercolors is that you only need three or four brushes to start. Brushes are measured in size from 0000 (smallest) to 14 (largest). Synthetic or soft hair brushes work the best with watercolor. To clean your brushes, it is best to simply use water. An occasional dab of dish soap is O.K., but if used too often it will damage the bristles.

Cleaning Brushes (Shop Brush Cleaner) It’s vital to the life of your brushes to care for them as their value warrants. Never rest brushes on their hairs. Always leave them flat or with the hairs upright. Keep brushes clean during the painting session and give them a thorough cleaning after the session. For water-based paints, switch back and forth between rinsing out with tap water and mildly soaped water. For oil and alkyd paints, use mineral spirits or turpentine in the same manner and finish up with mild soap or brush cleaner and water. Always reshape the brush when work is complete. Here’s a tip for cleaning really big brushes often used in oil painting. Place an old wire colander in a gallon plastic ice cream bucket. Next, place both in a taller bucket with a lid. Fill the gallon bucket with paint thinner to cover the bristles. Swirl the brushes against the colander and then wipe off the excess with a rag. The big bucket catches any splashes. Remember that solvents are toxic and should be disposed of as hazardous wastes.
