• PRINCETON’S BEST-SELLING BRUSH—Whether you're painting with acrylic, oil or watercolor, Select Artiste brushes are perfect for all of your arts and crafts needs
• BEAUTIFULLY DESIGNED—Satin-finished, jewel-tone blue handles and silver ferrules make our brushes as beautiful to look at as they are to paint with
• MULTIPLE FILAMENT TYPES—Filament types vary based on the paintbrush style. Our bristles are thoughtfully designed using a variety of synthetic hair
• THE MOST COMPLETE ASSORTMENT—Select Artiste brushes are offered in 29 distinct shapes and 108 individual styles, including flats, shaders, rounds, fan, daggers, filberts, washes, liners and more.

• Prepare Brushes — Before first use, gently rinse the bristles in lukewarm water to remove any sizing. Pat dry with a soft cloth. This prepares the synthetic bristles for optimal paint application.
• Apply Paint — Dip the brush tip into your chosen paint (acrylic, oil, or watercolor). For washes, load the brush generously; for broader strokes, use smooth, sweeping motions. Apply paint to your surface with desired coverage.
• Clean Brushes — Immediately after use, rinse bristles thoroughly in water (or solvent for oils). Gently work out paint residue. Avoid letting paint dry in the bristles, as this can permanently damage them.
• Store Properly — After cleaning and drying, store brushes flat or bristle-up to prevent bending. Proper storage maintains the brush shape and extends its lifespan for continued artistic use.
