Turps and rags to clean Oil Painting Brushes Cleaning synthetic or hog brushes used with AcrylicĪcrylic is a water-based paint and so the brushes can be cleaned with water. White spirit or a low odour solvent such as ‘ Sansador’ can be used instead of turpentine although personally I stick to distilled turpentine as I find petroleum-based solvents make the brushes stickier. Masters Brush Cleaner is an excellent product for this. This will ensure that any paint trapped in the ferrule is removed and will get rid of any sticky residues that the oil and solvents leave on it. It is, however, a good idea to give hogs a thorough clean and condition every few weeks. Hog will quickly stain but this is to be expected and this staining will not transfer onto the fresh colour being applied. The turps does not have to be clean and the rag can be quite coarse. A quick dunk in some turpentine will thin any paint on the brush and then a vigorous wipe on a rag will clean it sufficiently to be able to move onto the next colour. Hog is a rough, tough hair and will take quite a lot of ill-treatment without its performance being affected. A brush should never be left head down standing in water.īrushes on a Ceramic Brush Rest Cleaning hog brushes when working with oil Hog Brushes Whilst not in use, the brushes should be placed in a brush pot or holder with the head up, laid on the table or placed on a brush rest. The same cleaning can be applied to flat brushes but, instead of rolling, press the hair between two pieces of cloth or tissue for a couple of seconds to soak up the moisture.Ī good round brush can also be twirled and then ‘flicked’ to shake off the excess liquid and it will spring back into its point. Just a quick twirl in the water will remove any paint or ink and then by drawing the brush head across the cloth or tissue whilst gently rolling it, you absorb excess liquid to help the drying process whist re-shaping it into its natural point. Whilst working, always have a clean pot of water and some absorbent cloth or tissue at hand to clean and re-shape your brushes. Cleaning round sable, squirrel and blended synthetic brushes used with watercolour, gouache or ink It is a good idea to wash all brushes, especially bristle brushes, prior to use to remove any loose hairs. Stiffer round brushes may also come with a plastic tube protecting the head and, again, these should be disposed of once you start to use the brush. New brushes dressed with gum arabic and, sometimes, a plastic tube to protect them in transit These tubes are not meant to be put back on as putting it back on could damage the hair at the ferrule making the brush difficult to re-shape and will stop the brush drying thoroughly which would also damage natural hair. Once you are ready to start using your new brush, the gum should be easily rubbed off or rinsed out and the tube should be disposed of. Some brushes will also come with a plastic tube protecting the head. It also displays them in the shape they will attain when wet. Softer brushes such as sable and squirrel will be sold coated with a gum arabic solution, which protects them in transit.
