Always clean brushes before the paint dries. Using a hydrating paintbrush cleaner after using Taltine or soap prevents bristles from drying out and helps maintain their suppleness. Watercolour: clean with warm water Oil: dip the paintbrush in a solvent such as Taltine; clean with warm soapy water and a clear water rinse Acrylic: clean with warm soapy water and a clear water rinse
