(4) After drying, we’d better use linen cloth, which is the kind of canvas we usually paint oil paintings, to wrap these Artist Brushes and tie up rubber bands at both ends. Why do we need to wrap it up with a cloth? It is because there will still be some oil remaining on our Artist Brush after washing, which is easily damaged by wind. Although it looks troublesome but it is quick to do. Treating Artist Brush well is to reduce our troubles when painting.
