Storing Brushes

JosephDurham

When one is done painting, they should put their brushes with the bristles up because it can cause damage to the handles and the bristles; you can’t store them bristle down because it’ll damage the bristles. I have looked everywhere online for an upright holder for paint brushes, but, I can’t find anything.

I have mine hung around my easel with magnetic clips. Not ideal, and nowhere near my favorite method. How do you store your paint brushes?

JosephDurham horizontally. Residues of thinner do not get under ferrule to unstick it from handle.

I agree with Sunnylady. I also keep them stored horizontally, in a large box with intersections, except for my small brushes which are placed upwards (bristels up) in a glass jar.

Also am storing them horizontally. I have a drawer for my brushes, and I have little metal pieces I use to deposit the head of the brush on, so that the bristles don't touch anything when they are drying.
