Wipe off the excess paint on the brush with a rag. Use the artist's petroleum solvent oil or odorless turpentine to wash off the residual pigments on oil painting brushes and alkyd brushes, and then wash them off with clear water. Finally, tidy up the shape of the brush, dry the pen holder, and put the brush head up in a jar or bottle to dry. Remove excess water and reshape the pen. Never put down the brush head. Store the brush carefully, head up.
Maintenance of watercolor pen
Clean the brush according to the following cleaning instructions. The most common reason why brushes are no longer sharp is that pigment particles accumulate at the bottom of the brush. If the pigment particles are allowed to accumulate, the hair will be separated and the formation of the nib will be prevented. Avoid storage in direct sunlight. No matter how long you want to store brushes, make sure they are clean and completely dry before putting them in a sealed box. When storing brushes, we suggest that you use moth-proofing agent, but this is not a foolproof guarantee for moth-proofing.
Cleaning of watercolor pen
The brush should be scrubbed with a lint-free rag and then rinsed with water. Wash the brush gently with cold water and neutral soap, and gently turn the soap-coated brush in the palm of your hand. Wash and rinse the brush repeatedly until the soap and water become clear. You may be surprised at how much paint there is on the pen. Pay special attention to the bottom of the pen to make sure it is clean. Some pigments may slightly color the hair brush, but this will not affect the performance or life of the hair. Gently shape the nib and remove excess water from the nib. Dry the pen holder and metal hoop, and dry your hair with the pen head up.
