TAKE CARE OF YOUR BRUSHES

Please excuse the quality of this video, but I wanted to share with you how I care for my Acrylics and a quick peek on how I blend with Acrylics.
1. To clean your brushes during the oil painting process, use baby oil instead or turps for a better smelling studio. Just wipe excess paint off with a rag then swish in baby oil and wipe again, voila ! 

2. In Acrylic painting, use a wet palette to save hundreds of dollars a year. I use the Masterson's Stay Wet palette.  The instructions are included in the box when you purchase it.  Read them!  I have this to add. Trim about a 1/4 of an  inch off the side and the top on only 2 sides of the paper. Make sure you wet your sponge completely and then wring it out.  When you are done painting for the day, put in a zip lock bag and in the Fridge (not freezer) and I remains workable for over a week.  Every 2 weeks, I soak my whole palette and sponge in the sink with some Javex to prevent mildew.  That does the trick.

Nice blog. Ha weyou used the Art wipes sold by Jerrys artarama, you can get 3 containers for $10. They claim it even removes dried paint and restores the brushes. I use soap and water after each use and drY the brushes lying flat and not with the tip up. It is recommended to dry them hanging upside down to prevent damage to the word handles
