oh man who knew what wonders could be contained in this small white tub that's
gonna change all painters out there you don't know what I'm talking about
Oh obviously I'm talking about the masters brush cleaner and preserver
perhaps one of my favorite tools for all painters out there and in this video
we're gonna go over why this products good how to use it and if it's worth the
money oh yeah and spoiler alert it's way worth
money so let's go!
It's So Hot! I probably look like a sweaty Pig on camera makeup so shiny
it's so warm it's gonna be so funny to see how I get hotter and sweater through
the progress of this video hope nobody notices Oh
oh man I love this stuff but what is the masters brush cleaner and preserver well
let me tell you everything you need to know about it the master brush cleaner
and preserver can clean a whole host of different types of paints and mediums
out there I mean the list is fantastically long this can clean wet or
dry oil paint watercolors gouache acrylics alkyds
stains varnishes and body paint and even latex I mean this list goes on and on
it's a fantastic cleaner for a whole host of different styles of painting out
there alright dope it says it can do a lot of cool stuff but let's put it to
the test and let me show you how to use this correctly now before you start
using the brush cleaner here you want to make sure your brushes are as clean as
possible after you finish painting them so if you have oil paint make sure you
clean them off with your appropriate thinners and getting everything out with
like your beater rack or pulling everything out the remainder of a paper
towel if you use anything that's water-soluble like watercolors or
acrylics make sure you clean them and water in a little bit of dish soap
before you take it over here because that will help break up the process
before you get it in the cleaner and preserver to start using the Masters
brush cleaner and preserver start by wetting your brush and working up a
lather make sure you work it in really good here wiggle the paint brush back
and forth and coat both sides and don't be afraid to actually get your fingers
in there in between the bristles if you used a lot of paint
in the previous painting this will allow for all the bubbles and lather to get up
there so that way you'll have an easier time pulling out the residual paint and
pigment once you've worked up a good lather and you've allowed it to sit in
there for a few moments to clean your brushes simply rinse the cleaner off and
repeat as needed for some of your heavier paints or paints that contain
more binding material you may have to repeat this process a couple of times
before your paint brushes become really truly clean hey just want to jump in
here really quick if you're an oil painter that's not using water soluble
oil paints I do not recommend using a sink inside your house because that oil
paint can actually bond inside of your piping which is a huge bad no-no when it
can ruin your sink and also ruin the pipe so I would recommend doing this
outside or doing it in stages where you can dip your paintbrushes
between different stages of water and preserver and water again okay just want
to make sure your house is gonna be okay after your brushes are done being clean
you want to make sure you reshape your brushes to the correct shape so that way
they're ready to be used the next time so make sure you form them into the
shape think about things like your script liner or dagger brushes or even
yes your 1 inch and 2 inch brush because if you let them dry normally sometimes
the hairs and bristles will just form out what you don't want make sure you
reshape them into the correct way so that way they can be effective for your
next painting when you dry your paint brushes don't make sure you drive them
completely allow them to air dry a little bit because you want that
preserver and cleaner to stay on your bristles that's how it actually
conditions and preserves your brushes for the long haul now when everything is
done drying and you wanna use your paint brushes for the next time you paint depending on
the type of brush or the type of medium you're using you want to clean it really
quick all you need to do is just dip in water to get the remaining preserver and
cleaner off or if you're an oil painter just dip it in a little bit of thinner
and clean that off and then you're ready to rock and roll now if you plan on
preserving your brushes for the long haul you just follow the same steps but
I would just leave a little bit more of the preserver on there when you're doing
the drying process and you're good one of the coolest things about the master
brush cleaner preserver is if you have an old paintbrush that still got a lot
of old dingy color in it or perhaps you didn't clean it right away and
become really hard and it's not soft the cleaner actually can restore brushes
which is fantastic and also get all that old color out of there to do this
process you kind of follow the same steps except when you build up a strong
lather you really want to work it into all the bristles and you wouldn't leave
it on there for several minutes this will allow the preserver and cleaner to
really get in and break up all that binding material and get all that pigment
for when you wash it it's gonna pull it out and make your brush softer and it's
actually gonna restore it not to new but it'll get you back to a place to where
you can use it again that's actually one of my favorite things that not a lot of
people talk about for this product here is it's great for bringing back old
paintbrushes or bringing back paintbrushes head you may have messed up
on and if you're a new painter out there you've probably messed up a paintbrush
or two or perhaps you forgot to clean one recommend this product
wholeheartedly another thing I love about the master brush cleaner and
preservers I actually like the scent that smells very good and the best part
is it's not harmful so it's safe to use inside your house and studio now do I
recommend the master brush cleaner and preserver simple answer yes yes and yes
I love this product now depending on which one you get the small comes in
right around ten bucks and then the bigger one the one that's in my hand
right here comes in right around thirty bucks I'll put links in the description
below by the way when you click on those they really help up my channel so thank
you very much you're all awesome but it really depends on which one you need I
recommend if you work with smaller brushes I recommend going the smaller
one to see if you like it because all the bristles and brushes fit in there
quite easy but if you like doing wet on wet oil painting or big canvasses
requires bigger brushes you're gonna need the bigger tub because the brush can
fits in here to create a lather which is why I got the big one here for my
landscape paintings oh man it's so hot when we talk about
brush cleaner preserver up in here I swear I'm sweating through this video
but I really really love this brush cleaner and preserver perhaps one of my
favorite tools and I really recommend it but you know what it's not the only tool
out there I would recommend or maybe give a shot we've tested out the Bob
Ross brush cleaner and conditioner as well
that's something that you're more interested in I'm gonna put a video over
here to the side so you can check it out and see if that is better for you out
there I like them both but I may be like this just a tiny bit more but check that
video out I will see all you beautiful and creative people coming up next time
