Well… Just treat the brush like you would any other fine paint brush. Keep it clean using the proper thinners for the paint, don’t mash the brush on a surface or against the sides of a jar and a brush that fine is not for area painting - use it for detail painting.

Call me strange, but…

I learned to paint with a brush as an artist. I later advanced my skills painting religious icons. Yes we call it writing, as its really an expression of scripture.

Anyways, enough of that.

Iconographers get their brushes blessed, as they become tools of God’s message.

But that’s a trait a lot of crafts person adhere to, in and out of religion.

If you have a tool you rely on to express your gifts, offerings or whatever, treat it like a family member.

Every time I use my brushes, I hold them in the right solvent, free of the bottom of the jar, Then I wipe them left-right on a towel, draw them through my mouth and put them in a jar point up.

Them I actually thank them, for being my team and helper. Same prayer I make to our Lord every night. Really, I do.

So you say, well i’ve seen your models, what gives? Imagine how worse off I’d be otherwise.

Keep your brushes like you keep your knives, or your saws.

For really small work I use toothpicks- those very pointed double ended kind. The points are not very uniform, but you get a lot per package so you can select the better ones.

I shake a bottle of paint, and then take the top and set it down on my bench upside down, so I can access the paint that sticks to the cap. It is ordinarily just the right thickness to dip the toothpick end into. Then I touch it to the plastic and it leaves a small dot. If you want to make a line, you can drag it a bit. Not much paint sticks to it, so if you want to extend the line very far, it does become a bit tedious with lots of dipping. Further, the paint in the lid dries pretty fast, so you need to keep replacing the lid and shaking, frequently. I don’t bother to try and clean them- they are disposable. You can do two colors with the double ended picks.

Yup, indispensable. You have to buy the good ones though, the ones that are truly round, not sort of split rail fence.

I also use them for CA apps, never would use a brush for that.
