starstarstarstarstar 		cleaning brushes NEW
by: Anonymous

I've used a product called AWESOME that can be found in most Dollar stores to clean my house painting brushes and found it also works really well on my art brushes. a cheap way to get that paint out of the base of your brush.

starstarstarstarstar 		Brush Washing
by: Tom

I've found the best results by using a "brush washer" to remove the majority of the paint and then I wash with soap and water by hand. Yes, I use the sink, however, all I put down the drain is colored water.

by: kitacrylics

Thanks for reading.

I've found that when I'm priming the paper with a water-wash (ie water on paper, then acrylics, or water and acrylic mixed on the palette then applied) it bevels and loses its tautness.

I always mask the acrylics paper well to the board, but maybe not well enough; at the moment I'm using 2.5cm masking. Would it be better to use a thicker width, or maybe gum paper?

I have clogged my drains more than once I find washing the brushes is not bad if you rinse them first in a cup but i do use a piece of tempered glass as a pallet and clean it with a razor blade once the paint drys such an easy clean up
