Blog Award

4x6 collage

Thanks to Elizabeth St. Honaire Nelson for giving me a "I love your art blog" award, my first blog award. Elizabeth informed me that I need to pass it on to seven other bloggers and though I'm hesitant to choose any one blogger over another, these are the artists I choose, in no particular order.

Art Tip: brush cleaning

As I work with acrylic medium for glue or with acrylic paints I stand my brushes in a bucket of water on my work table and give them a soap and water cleanup every day or so. But eventually my brushes get gunky and sometimes I forget to clean them. That's when I clean them with Murphy's Oil Soap. I keep an inch of MOS mixed 1:1 with water in a tall plastic tub (Feta from Costco) and put caked brushes in that solution overnight. By the next day the soap has softened the brush and with a bit of elbow grease I can get the brushes back to useable. This also works for brushes used with oil paint. I gave up using oils but wanted to save those good brushes and Murphy's Oil Soap came to the rescue. Get it at the grocery store.
