Mountain Lion Bill Doroshuk coloured pencil
We have some FINE painters down here at Headwaters Art Society and I am going to introduce them to you.
"I
also want to share some tips about the brushes I'm using which are
Silver Bristlons with very crisp synthetic bristles that are excellent
for the type of careful brushwork I like to do. After rinsing them of paint in Gamsol and wiping them dry, I wash them with Murphy's Oil Soap.
Using a ceramic or glass bowl I mash the bristles gently against the
bowl which has a capful of MOS in it. You will be shocked at how long it
takes to rinse the brushes completely of paint. Use only cold or tepid
water and keep changing the soap and rinsing until the brushes are
completely free of stain when blotted with a paper towel. I then dip
them into brush shaper (by Houston Arts) and shape them so the edges are
chiseled. If some of them need it, I make a little splint out of paper
and wrap the tips lightly and tape them. Voila! They last quite well
with the pampering I give them."
