Artist's tip (Clean, gentle, dry): Palette – mixing; water pot – rinsing; easel – holding the board; masking tape – holding paper flat; sponge – dabbing textures. Round brush – fine lines and details; flat brush – wide, straight strokes. Good care: rinse, wash with mild soap, reshape, dry bristles up. Bad: leaving it in water, dried paint, scrubbing, standing on its bristles.
