I really appreciate this. As a (kinda) new painter, I'm so sick of ruining my stuff just due to a lack of knowledge.

[MadoraFu]

I bought the paint purger based on this video and it ABSOLUTELY works just as well as shown/stated. Literally saved two of my workhorse brushes from the bin. ❤

[purehavok]

Getting ready to graduate from uni. I've been saving up for a set of your drybrushes for awhile now and I'm getting them for myself for a graduation present. Gonna have to grab these as well!

[savagefrito]

Thank you, I just got the Series S set as a gift - Something I'd never get for myself, but WOW - I really enjoy these brushes and thank your for the video. The quality shows.

[darrenj]

This is essential viewing for all mini painters. Great stuff.

[quackquack]

fantastic guide /showcase, not many guides go through such a nice step by step guide including things to look out for while cleaning

[garyknight]

Thanks for taking the time for the update!! Every video I take away at least one or two helpful things that I add to my hobby.

[StckMnky]

Bought the paint purger and brush cleaner after this video was released. Currently paint purging my brushes and this is stuff is clearly dark magic!!! Awesome stuff!!!

[bergeracvandamme]

Very useful and even as someone who's been painting for years I learned a few things.

[Siege]

Gotta say, fantastic service chaps! Ordered new purger and cleanser and bigger soap last night, arrived today!Can’t wait to try out the new cleaners

[grapetonenatches]

I use The Masters. Its cheap, works on oil and acrylic, conditions brushes and keeps the tip nice and sharp. Smells good too.

[Zombiekel]

Another great video, and something else to add to my set-up. Easy to follow steps too. Top job guys

[jmc]

Thanks for the in depth vid on cleaning brushes. These will keep my series S and D brushes lasting longer. Been doing on my synthetic brushes too to see if they’ll last a little long

[markkNL]

Capillary action will pull liquid into the ferrule no matter how you store it, unless you have it soaking wet it shouldn't change the amount of liquid going into the ferrule between storing bristles up or down. It will evaporate at some point anyway.

[stevemurzin]

I recently purchased the S and D sets with the purger and cleanser. I went through this process with my kolinsky brushes and revived them as well. Excellent video. BTW the Opus brushes are fantastic!!!!

[rolandhynd]

Just bought the Series S set and was wondering how often would you use the brush soap? Have you done a video on what you use each size brush for, I would find that very useful.

[bevanwilson]

I swear I have seen a lot of brush cleaning videos but I learn something new every time haha. Gonna have to pick me up these new products because I really need to take better care of my brushes ;P. Great vid and probably not the last time I'll be watching it :)

[tankaveragegaming]

Great video and very informative as always!

[lodewijkwallijn]

Great explanation on how to care for my new AO S, M and D-series brushes. One question, though: 2 of my s-series have guide hairs sticking out of the point. A vid on how to best remove these without screwing up my brushes would be great!

[MadAl]

With using the paint purger with really stubborn paint nodule's I've worked out to put a texture pallet under the kitchen towel and draw the brush backwards across the pallet and towel, it really knocks off the matted paint. Works especially well with the dry brushes.
