I have few Rosemary brushes and would so love a set! Pick me! Your video demonstrates the awesome value of a product well made, thoughtfully made, with care and integrity! Thanks for your good work!
what a fantastic demonstration for washing/caring for the brush. Thank you Ryan and Masters Academy! Also really enjoyed listening to the descriptions of the different brushes. Considering buying Rosemary and i know i wont look back but really wanted guidance and this has been one of the better videos.
Good video with great information. I use Rosemary many of the brushes mentioned in this video: Ultimate (hog bristle), Ivory and Eclipse. I will try the long filbert hog bristle and Evergreen. LOVE Rosemary brushes.
Instead of freezing the brushes overnight i put them on a shallow dish with some safflower cooking oil. This keeps the brushes fine for the next painting session. Safflower oil is what paint manufacturers use in their tubes.
I have an issue... all my brush are frayed. I have purchased Rosemary brushes Ivory and eclipse. Contacted Rosemary and they replaced, as thought could be a manufacture issue. Well it happened again. All my brushes are frayed not just my Rosemary. They told me not to use mineral sprits. See you use mineral spirits, which I do, but then wash with masters brush cleaner soap or ivory bar soap. What could I be doing wrong as so frustrated to not have brushes that work. Any advice would be very much appreciated. Thank you
I don't believe it's the mineral spirits that are the problem. I did some tests for about 6 months and I believe that the worst thing for synthetic brushes is friction. If you use them on a rough surface, if you scrub with them, if you rub them vigorously in your mineral spirits canister, all of these lead to the fraying. If I am using a rougher painting surface, or if I'm going to scrub with my paint, I use hog hair brushes because they wear down better. My synthetics, I use for more delicate paint work and when I rinse them out, I don't scrub them, I delicately work the paint out of them. This has lengthened their life significantly. But, it is inevitable that synthetics will fray at some point.
I love linseed oil brush soap from Trekell. They also have what they call a "brush restorer" which I use after washing my brushes. After washing and wiping my brushes dry with a towel, I use just a dab of brush restorer to shape the brush and then leave it lying horizontally to dry overnight.

Thank you and I hope you enjoy the long filberts!
Beautiful set.. Would love to have them.
Thank you! Rosemary always has them on hand if you'd like to pick up a set.
I'm always looking for that perfect brush. The one that is self-propelled
Haha! Wouldn't that be nice.

We know many people who also do this. It certainly saves on cleaning time.
Long filberts and daggers are my weapon of choice
Wow, that is a bushel of brushes.
I`ve that disease too ...colected every brushes from everywhere. That brand I`ve not that yet .
It's an expensive disease for sure! But definitely try Rosemary brushes if you get the chance. They're amazing!

@@mastersacademyofart6968 Thank you for your input... I will take your advice and hoping for better brushes in the future!😁
What brush soap do you use? Im looking for something different
I love linseed oil brush soap from Trekell. They also have what they call a "brush restorer" which I use after washing my brushes. After washing and wiping my brushes dry with a towel, I use just a dab of brush restorer to shape the brush and then leave it lying horizontally to dry overnight.
Is it just normal everyday hair conditioner ?
Yes that's what I use. Just a tiny bit will help shape and condition the brush.
I think I’m catching that disease
It's definitely one of the more fun diseases to catch!
