I use and abuse my paint brushes. I don't clean them well, I don't use soap, I submerge them in water and then forget about them. And then I wonder... why do my paintbrushes suck?!?!?
So last week, with a suggestion from one of the teachers at the academy, I went through and purged all the gnarly crusty old brushes and replaced them with brand spanking new brushes. LONG HANDLE brushes too... which I normally don't use.
My default is about a 4 Round brush... so I got a couple extra 4 rounds, but I also got some filberts and flats and a couple angles (angles are also a staple of mine). WHAT A DIFFERENCE THEY MAKE!!! I swear I am going to take better care of these!! That's one of my New Years Resolutions.

I used my old brushes as props for my booth:
OOO! I like the props at the booth idea! Maybe I'll use some of my waxed brushes next season - might help people to visualize.
