🖌️✨ Keep your brushes carving-ready! 🪵 Whether you’re painting dragons 🐉 or detail work, proper care = longer life for your brushes:
✅ Acrylics → keep a water container handy 💧 (the paint dries fast!)
✅ Oils → clean with paint thinner first 🛢️ then wash with water
✅ Always store brushes upright ⬆️ to protect bristles
