ROSEMARY ECLIPSE FANS BRUSH SIZE 8 (SHORT HANDLE)
ROSEMARY & CO is a family run business in England that makes fantastic travel brushes and other brushes for watercolour artists.
The Eclipse is 100% synthetic range is Vegan Friendly and made to mimic natural mongoose which is stiffer than sable, yet softer than bristle.
The Classics are made from 90% bristle, 10% synthetic. The synthetic mix in there allows for more spring and helps when cleaning the brush.
They are great for Oils, Gouache, Acrylics and Watermixable Oils.
Fan brushes use a special ferrule which spreads the hairs to form a fan shape. Used for several effects including grasses, fur and often for blending.
This blend of bristle and strong synthetic is ‘interlocked’ allowing the brush to retain it’s original shape for much longer.
HOW TO CLEAN THE BRUSH
ACRYLICS BRUSH
You must not let the Acrylic paint dry on your brush as this is really difficult to get out. Grab a rag or kitchen towel and wipe away any excess paint from the brush this will make the washing process faster and easier. Thoroughly rinse the brush with water and wipe the brush in your palm to get the paint out. You can use soap to speed this process and condition your brushes.
OIL BRUSH
Start with wiping your brushes on a rag or paper towel. You should then wash them thoroughly with a good soap. (You can use olive oil soap for example). To clean them thoroughly you can use a dish soap (in England we call it fairy liquid), or overseas you may have Murphys Oil Soap or Dawn. Don’t endorse the use of mineral spirits or solvents. They are a known brush killer. Oil cleans oil, so safflower, rapeseed & linseed oils should work too.
