Paintbrush mainly refers to oil brush and gouache brush. Paintbrush is generally made of animal coarse hair or fine fiber, with different sizes and varieties. The main uses are color painting, oil painting and so on.

When we paint, we try to wipe with rough edged paper or waste newspapers, because these two kinds of paper have better absorption, less residual pigment, less friction and less damage to the pen; After painting, we try to wash the pen with warm water, use a little detergent or soap, and rub the pen in one direction in the palm of our hand until the paint is completely washed;

After washing, try to let it dry by itself; After drying, we'd better use linen, the kind of canvas we usually use for oil painting, wrap these paintbrushes and tie up rubber bands at both ends. Why wrap it with cloth? It is because some oil remains on our paintbrush after washing, which is easy to be damaged by the wind. Although it seems troublesome, it is done quickly. Treating the paintbrush well is to reduce our troubles when painting.
