My favorite INEXPENSIVE oil paint brushes

If you're like me, then you can be very neglectful to your paint brushes. I never clean them. I often forget to clean them out. I let them sit in oil for days on end. I even let them rest on the bristles *gasp*.
Being bad to my brushes doesn't make me a bad painter, but if I let poorly maintained brushes compromise my painting practice, then I have a problem.
So, in this video, I want to give you two brush options that can serve as your durable work horses while you paint. They will handle a lot of the grueling phases of painting, and if you neglect these brushes, they will forgive you [or at least be more forgiving in returning to their shape and feel].
Give them a try! They are durable, handle paint well, and they are really inexpensive.

Stock up on cheap brush sets at ROSS! So worth the quantity and time saved. Just pre wash in spirits and tug out loose bristles.

Ananda Featherston does that and saves the nice brushes for specific tasks in the later stages of the painting process. It’s a good tip when keeping costs down is priority. Thanks for sharing!

Using oils instead of solvents takes more patience but is worth the safer, healthier studio - and artist. I have a small bottle of mineral spirits bought years ago and used only once to clean a couple of tools. Horrible stuff smell wise. It's there for emergencies, but otherwise I only use linseed and safflower artists oils (without toxic alkyds), but prefer a softer pro paint that doesn't require that I use any medium..at least, not so far..

This is great. Thanks for sharing. 🙏

I have had bad brush hygeine in the past and have brought brushes back to life by soaking them in eco-solve (from Natural Earth Paint) then cleaning them out with the master brush cleaner with hot water. These days I’ve really enjoyed using those silicone paint applicators. Super easy to clean both wet and dry paint from.

Great suggestions! Thanks for the comment.

I am just like you

I’ll keep you updated on other brush lines that are willing to forgive.

Where is the link to the chip brushes?

[@OilandEarthStudio]

These are the kinds of brushes I am talking about. You might want to check out your local hardware store to compare prices. a.co/d/7gBh1Lk
