Care and cleaning of water colour bushes
Taking care of your brushes can save you money and time, and good quality brushes can last a lifetime if you look after them well. There are some general rules which will make sure that all of your brushes last:
• Always clean your brushes straight away after you have used them
• Use your fingers to shape the bristles after cleaning
• Place the brush in a pot or jar with the bristles facing upwards
• Only store brushes once they are completely dry
• Use an airtight box if you are storing brushes for any length of time
Having a good point at the end of your brush when working in water colour is immensely important and caring for your water colour brushes will help your art as well as your pocket. Usually a brush loses its point from a build-up of pigment particles in the base of the brush which push the hairs apart and stop that all important point from forming.
At the end of your painting session wipe the brush clean with a lint-free rag and rinse it under running water. Then, using mild soap and cool water, swirl the soapy brush in the palm of your hand then rinse, and repeat this washing and rinsing process until the soap and water runs clear. If you were to use strong soap this may damage the bristles by removing natural oils and hot water may cause any remaining paint to clot.
Then, as with all brushes, it is time to remove excess water, dry the ferrule and handle, reshape the head and rest it with the bristles facing upwards to dry off.
Fear not if some of the pigments in the water colour have stained your brush slightly - this will not affect the performance or the life of the bristles.

About Winsor & Newton
Winsor & Newton is a UK company that manufactures a wide variety of fine art products including: oils, alkyds, watercolours, acrylics, pastels, artists' brushes, canvases, papers, portfolios, and distributes the Derwent pencil sets. It is a world's leading brand of fine art materials including oil, acrylic, and water color paint with an unrivalled reputation for quality & reliability.
In 1832 chemist William Winsor and artist Henry Newton brought together the knowledge of the scientist and the creativity of the artist to offer an unprecedented choice of colour, clarity and permanence to fine artists.
Winsor & Newton pinpointed what was really needed – a regular source of reliable colours and brushes. Winsor & Newton first developed vastly-improved watercolours, followed by a number of other innovations including Chinese white, the first durable opaque white watercolour, and collapsible tin tubes for both oils and watercolours.
New epoch, new approach
A series of royal appointments and awards in the late 1800s paved the way for Winsor & Newton to take its colours around the world.
In the early 20th century Winsor & Newton expanded its range to offer key value ranges. It also expanded its factories to ensure colour and brush production carried on through both world wars. But William and Henry’s original ethos stayed at the heart of the business – whenever there was a new, exciting or better pigment or binder available, Winsor & Newton introduced it, including Designers gouache, fast drying oils, water mixable oils and the revolutionary Artists’ Acrylic (now Professional Acrylic).
Classic yet contemporary
William and Henry’s commitment to quality and innovation are part of a rich heritage which informs Winsor & Newton to this day. We’re dedicated to the craft of the fine artist and to providing them with new ways to explore their creativity, allowing them to share their work with a worldwide community. We embrace new ideas, we seek out the latest technologies and materials – we devote our time to creating the world’s finest art materials, which are used by some of the world’s finest artists.
