Snow brushes are made using longer—lasting synthetic hog hair bristles that cooperate better than natural bristles across a broad range of mediums. Modeled to look and feel like hog bristle brushes, this series is perfect for painters who quickly switch from oils to acrylics or water—soluble oils. Care: Paintbrush care is essential to maintaining their condition and extending their life span. Always clean brushes before the paint dries. Using a hydrating paintbrush cleaner after using Taltine or soap prevents bristles from drying 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.
