I need new brushes!

My Tool

4" x 4", oil on stretched canvas

Sold

After not painting for a few weeks, I pulled out all of my gear and started working on a landscape and ended up wiping it down. I'm realizing that even though I'm drawn to landscapes, I'm better at still lifes. I also realized that if you're not going to paint for many weeks you should make sure that you wash your brushes thoroughly, many of mine were stiff and in need of replacement.

  1. murphy's oil soap, soak them in it... it should lift off whatever is stuck on there... and then just rinse them off... i use it on my oil brushes, although haven't been using the brushes, it works great...
