This Will Just Mess Your Brushes Up. Use “The Masters Brush Cleaner” It Cleans Oil Paint Burhses And Acrylics. It Is Magical Fairy Dust That Cleans Your Brushes.
Never ever ever..let your brushes sit over night in anything. You know how he showed you the brush and the bristles expanded and lost the original shape they came in? That is from leaving the brushes in water (as well as a little general ware and paint in the bristles).
