| Many painting tools are expensive from the humble brush to the sophisticated air brush, but how many painting tools are discarded due to being worn away versus clogged with dried paint? It cannot be emphasised how important cleaning; cleaning and more cleaning can be to the long life of a brush. |
| The artist needs two jars of solvent for the paint at his side. The first will be used for preliminary washes and will become dirty quite quickly whilst the second, for a final rinse, will remain quite clean. Brushes must always be thoroughly dried before storage and never left standing on their bristles in the cleaning fluid. |
| These simple tips will give brushes a lifetime of use and they will eventually need replacement due to wear of the bristles but only after many years of use. |
| Paint containers will reward the artist if they also receive regular cleaning. Dried paint should be removed although prompt cleaning will ensure this situation never arises. A periodic soak in a mild bleaching agent followed by rinsing, will remove any trace of mould or fungal growth which could be transferred to the finished art. |

| In the school classroom the pupils' best works are often displayed upon the walls. This must have finally brought us full circle since the earliest paintings were sited on cave walls! |
