Paintbrush Storage Tips

Good paintbrushes can be very expensive, so we here at Hobby Artist Magazine have made some suggestions to help keep your paintbrushes in good shape.

First, always clean your brushes right after using them, because some paints have acids that can weaken the brush over time.

Second, clean your brushes with a mild cleaner. We recommend a mixture of one part alcohol and three parts water.

Finally, store your brushes with the tips up. This allows them to dry more quickly.

Remember to keep your paintbrushes in good shape!
