• Bright Brush (No. 10): Features a flat, square shape, excellent for bold, even strokes, blocking in color, and creating sharp edges.

6. Cura e manutenzione

Proper care extends the life and performance of your brushes:

• Pulizia dopo l'uso: Immediately after each painting session, rinse your brushes thoroughly with cool water until all paint residue is removed. For stubborn paints, use a mild brush soap or cleaner.
• Evitare l'ammollo: Do not soak brushes handle-down in water, as this can damage the wood handle and loosen the ferrule.
• Rimodellare e asciugare: Gently reshape the bristles to their original point or edge. Lay brushes flat or hang them bristle-down to dry completely. Avoid drying them upright, as water can seep into the ferrule.
• Magazzinaggio: Store brushes in a brush roll, case, or upright with bristles protected to prevent damage to the tips.
