Getting your brush ready to paint

Wet the brush, then wipe it against the edge of your water container to remove the excess. Rub it on a dry split cake until the paint reaches a creamy consistency, then you're ready to paint — this keeps the bristles properly loaded without carrying too much water into your design.

Caring for your brushes

Rinse brushes in clean water immediately after use and reshape the bristles before they dry. Store brushes flat or bristle-up to keep their shape between events — these brushes are vegan and cruelty-free, with no animals harmed in their making.
