Why should I use a brush cleaner?
It is essential for artists to thoroughly clean paint brushes after use, to preserve the condition and prolong the life of the brush. The type of paint used will determine the appropriate cleaner and method to apply.
In order to effectively remove all traces of oil paint from a brush, the pigment and binder must be fully destabilised. Traditional methods of doing this involve using a solvent such as White Spirit or Turpentine. Whilst this method remains popular with some artists, others prefer the ease and speed of using a brush cleaner.
