DMed message about most is the Bob Ross brush cleaner whether you just buy
it on its own or you get it in the value custom pack like you see here people are
always wondering is it actually worth it well we're gonna dive into that in a
second but I want to let you know why you would even want to clean and
condition your brushes you have to remember bristles on a brush or
essentially just like the hair on top of your head where it can be brittle over
time if you don't take care of it in nurture it by giving it a nourishment
and essentially that's what a conditioner does for your paint brush
bristles when you add on a conditioner you're essentially giving it more
nourishment so it's gonna be stronger so that way when you take your paint brush
and apply it to your campus and those bristles just Bend they're not going to
snap you're actually gonna stay strong and push and flow that paint across your
canvas which is why you should condition and clean your brushes so that way all
the hard-earned money that you spent doesn't go to waste on buying new
brushes all the time before you start using the Bob Ross brush cleaner and
conditioner you actually want to do a few things to make sure you get the most
out of it when you're done oil painting for the day make sure you take your
paintbrush and you dip it into a can of odorless paint thinner that has a screen
at the bottom this will allow you to work off the bigger chunks of pigment
and color let this essentially do the heavy lifting when that's all done take
your paint brush and your beater rack that's inside a trash can hey we did a
video on this check it up in the top right corner and work it back and forth
so those chunks real come off and the paintbrush more or less
becomes air dry now there will still be some more residual color hiding here
in the paintbrush and there's a really cool trick to take care of that all I
need to do is just take a spare piece of paper towel a shop towel works best or
even a rag and just fold it over and take your paintbrush and pinch the
bristles here and pull the rest of the color out when he open up the actual
paper towel you will see how much residual color you got out whoa all
right now that we did all those steps now we're ready to use the Bob Ross
brush cleaner and conditioner now I have no real easy way of showing you this so
forgive me if the angles a little bit off depending on what paint brushes you
use for the day is gonna determine how you use the brush cleaner now if you
painted with a one inch or a two inch brush which are the bigger brushes I
really recommend put a couple of drops down on a paper plate and work your
paint brush back and forth till it gets a little bit of a coating on the
bristles from there just take your fingers and slightly massage the cleaner
into the remainder of the bristles don't be afraid to get in there now if you
used a smaller paintbrush like a fan brush script liner filbert anything like
that all you really need to do is take a couple of drops put them on the ends of
your fingertips and start fingering your paintbrush yeah slow motion finger cam
do you like how that feels.... Ohh..ohhh..oh
keep your mind out of the gutter ladies come on and slightly just massage the
bristles back and forth and all the way up and down until you have a good even
coating with all of your paintbrushes coated all you need to do is dip them
into some clean odorless thinner which I have over here in ain't paper cup
slightly dip them in and blot them off with a paper towel to get them dry you
do not have to pull out all of the thinner and you do not have to pull out
all of the conditioner the trick here is you actually want to leave a little bit
of the conditioner on so this way it can nourish the paintbrushes and condition
them while you're not using them for an extended period of time whatever that
may be for you you really only want a hint of the conditioner on the bristles
so don't overwork the cleaning process at the
here and there you go your paint brushes are clean and condition for the next
time that you use them now before you stop watching there's something that you
need to know about any conditioner that you use since these have cleaners and
additives on them you want to make sure you clean your brushes before you start
painting with them again otherwise all these additives that go on to the oil
paint could have a negative effect generally it'll crack it or make it too
thin so before you start using any paint brush that you've conditioned you want
to make sure you dip it into odorless thinner clean odorless thinner and then
work it off really good within your beater rack or even just pulling it out
with a paper towel like I showed before this way you're good and prepared for
your next painting ahead now do I think the Bob Ross brush cleaner is worth the
money hey we're only like eight to ten bucks yeah I think it's worth checking
out you know some of the reviews on this say it's actually the best brush cleaner
and conditioner there is I've used one bottle and I do like it but I don't know
if it's the best I actually really like the master tub brush cleaner but I
talked about before in a previous video I'll put it in the top of the right
corner but this is also really good I've been very happy with it so here's my
advice for you if you're interested in trying it you know you can buy this for
8 to 10 bucks and try it out that's not really that much money to something
that's gonna really preserve the life of your paint brushes which is probably
something you spent a lot of money on but if you want to have a little bit of
fun and play around things hey don't be afraid to go with the base coat value
pack I'll put both of these in the video description down below so that way you
can pick and choose which one will be best for you by the way anytime you
