Cheers Chiltern! The Professional set has 18 brushes and handles a variety of genres. The Basic Set is a starter set and a condensed version of the Pro set.
Thank you and so happy you found this informative! Happy Painting!

I strain my dirty Gamsol to create clean reusable Gamsol. It’s easy! How?:
I put dirty gamsol in a glass jar & let all the sediment/paint fall to the bottom.
Then I take a xs funnel with several sheets of paper towel cut and rolled to fit inside the cone leaving no hole in the bottom of the paper towel. Then I pour the gamsol from the top of the jar through the filter, then wipe the sediment from the bottom of the jar. It’s a nice relaxing way to fiddle in the studio after or before a painting session. Easier than it sounds! 👍

Am very thankful for your content. Since living in Germany I very much would appreciate the names and links of the presented products such as the soap, cleansing oil, tissues etc. Would help a lot to do the research. Txs.

[@RosemaryCoArtistBrushes]

Thanks for your message. I can ask Nanci and will update the links in the info.

[@NanciFranceVaz_artist]

Hi, thank you so much. Home Depot or Lowes sell Blue Shop Towels. They are lint free.
For the soap: Jacks Linseed Studio Soap at www.Jerrysartarama.com
Oil: any supermarket oil that is cheap. Caesar Santos said he uses a large gallon of cheap vegetable oil such as corn or safflower. I have used safflower. Thats the cheap route. Through most art supply stores, Walnut oil! More expensive though. Hope that helps! Cheers!

Brand of absorbent towel ???

[@NanciFranceVaz_artist]

Hi Mike, sorry for the delay. It is Blue Shop Towels. If you have Home Depot near you, the sell the 6 pack or buy them through Amazon! The best and lint free!

[@RosemaryCoArtistBrushes]

@@NanciFranceVaz_artist thanks for replying Nanci! :)

the best way is to deep then in oil and place is flat . there is no way to clean brushes every day. it will make you tired and frustaded plus it destroy the brushes with time. mark carder has a formula for deep brushes...

the water is running and running for nothing...
