Do this with your new brush! ✍️
Have you ever bought new brushes & found them to be super stiff? That’s cuz many brushes are coated with ‘water soluble sizing’ to protect the bristles before they get to your studio.
Don’t worry - it’s easy to remove the sizing by rinsing your brush in warm water & using some mild brush soap. This will immediately make the bristles soft & ready to use!
Ps. If you’ve ever used a stiff brush not knowing you should remove the coating/sizing before using don’t worry. After using the brush a little bit the sizing will ware away.
I’ve been super busy this week so I thought this is a repost of one of my old videos. Id recently bought some new Princeton Aspen brushes & decided to make a video about removing the sizing before I used them. I’ve shortened the video a little but you can find the original way down my feed. 👍
Gotta love that new brush feeling!
