A paintbrush is a brush used by a painter or an artist to apply paint on to a surface. It is sometimes referred to as an artist’s magic wand for applying colors on the canvas. The more you paint and use your own set of brushes, the more you become familiar with the way it provides you with what you desire. Which is why artists have their own set of paint brushes and never use those from others.

Paintbrushes consist of four main parts, namely: the bristles, ferrule, crimp, and the handle. The bristle may either be natural or synthetic. Synthetic bristles are made of polyester, nylon, or a combination of both, and these are actually more durable than natural bristles. The ferrule is the silvery bit that connects the bristles with the handle. It is usually made of metal. The crimp is the part of the ferrule that secures it to the handle. And the handle is where the artist holds the brush. It is usually made of wood or plastic.

Do’s and Don’ts for Paintbrushes

  • DO wipe off the excess paint on your brush using clean paper towel dampened with water or alcohol and pull the bristles gently and smoothly to restore it to its original shape.
  • DO clean your brushes once you’re finished painting. Leaving the paint to dry on it makes it more difficult to clean and may also alter the quality of the brush.
  • DO allow your brushes to dry thoroughly before putting it in the storage.
  • DON’T clean or dip brushes in hot water, this may cause the bristles to fall out or lose shape.
  • DON’T store or leave your brushes with its bristles resting on a flat surface at all times. Leave it lying flat or upside down instead.
