I drink champagne and paint things
Sorry, I don't know anything about taking care of this plant, as it is not mine 😁

I tried to use soft acrylic brushes at the beginning, but it gave me only frustration because the paint didn’t glide as easily, and everything mixed on the canvas, and it was impossible to clean the brushes after, even with soap. So now I have a few brushes that I can’t use for anything

I rarely use more than 3 brushes when I paint, although I think I have around 20 oil brushes, but mostly because I’m in never ending search for “my” brushes 😁

I myself have a few brushes that dried up, and to be honest, I’m not sure what to do with them 😀

Hi Gaudys 👋🏼 Thanks, it is a great question. I’m relatively new to oil painting myself, so take this with a pinch of salt. When I paint I tend to clean brushes with a paper towel or a cotton rag, and a bit of solvent (they can be toxic) or a walnut oil (linseed oil would work too)
