Set of Paint Wild watercolour brushes + 3 FREE MYSTERY COLOURS

Using your brushes for the first time

When your new brush babies arrive, they will have a plastic cap over the bristles. Remove and chuck ‘em in the bin. Trying to put them back on later can damage the bristles. Your brushes also have a protective coating making them pointy and stiff - this is to help prevent any damage to the bristles during transit. To remove it, give your brushes a lil rinse under some running water, and gently loosen the bristles using your fingers until they feel nice and soft. Now you can go paint!

General brush care tips

To make sure your brushes last a long time, there are a couple things you should know. Cleaning watercolour out from your brushes can generally be done by swishing in a figure-8 in a clean water jar. Avoid jamming the bristles down into the base of your water jar as it can bend and damage them. If you find you have a colour that doesn’t want to come all the way out (usually some pesky blue) you can use a special brush soap or cleaner (like Master’s) or you can also get some gentle hand wash in the palm of your hand, and swish your brush around in it to loosen up the stubborn colour. Rinse well before using again. If you like to store your brushes in a container with bristles facing up, please ensure the brush has fully dried before doing so, or water can seep down into the handle and cause damage. Dry your brushes flat after use to avoid this, and do not leave them sitting in water or on a wet surface otherwise cracking of the handle can occur. If you notice the cute lil design on the back of the handle becoming stained from your watercolours, give it a good scrub with some paper towel and brush soap or hand wash.
