I bought the decodo brush set and been using them for 4 months now and I noticed that the ends of the hairs on some of the brushes are separating?? I was disappointed 😞. I loved those brushes so I guess I'll have to buy another brand and try them out. I think 🤔 I'm hard on brushes because my Princeton brushes the hairs fray on those to after while??? At least I do get a year on the Princeton though. I take care of them I just don't understand?? I lay them flat to dry, don't squish them in the water and try not to in picking paint up but sometimes that's a little hard when your painting something. Lololol 😅. Thank you 😊 for the really nice card idea. FLORIDA
Yes, these inexpensive brushes will do that a little sooner than the Princeton, although, as it sounds like you already know, make sure you’re not loading your brush by the tip, and when you’re done, rinsing them really well, and squeezing them between your fingers into a point, and then letting them dry, that will help Preserve that beautiful little tip! Princeton aren’t too expensive and I think a great next level for you happy painting friend🖌️🌸🎨
Very pretty. Can I ask, are the pans removable in your MeiLiang paints? I'm looking for some new paints but would like to be able to replace the pans when used up.
Yes, you can pull them out although I just refilled them with any two paints I might have. I recently did a live on refilling some of those Happy painting Friend!🎨🌸🖌️
