The fan brush with white bristles allows for fade-outs and glazing.  Care: Caring for paintbrushes is essential to keeping them in good working condition and to their life span. Oil: dip the paintbrush in a solvent such as taltine. Clean in soapy water and rinse in warm water. Acrylic: clean in soapy water and rinse in warm water. Practical information: Never let dry before cleaning.  Humid bristles have a tendency to curl. Press the tip between two rags to have it regain its initial shape. Using a hydrating paintbrush cleaner after using taltine or soap prevents bristles from drying and keeps the supple shape of the paintbrush.
