Help your brushes last longer and perform better with the right tools and a little bit of care. Dried pigment can damage bristles and ruin brush shape, poor storage can bend tips or loosen handles. A little care goes a long way toward keeping your brushes soft, responsive, and ready to paint.


In short: Clean brushes = better control. Proper storage = longer lifespan. Good care = less replacing + more painting


The Masters Brush Cleaner and Preserver

I only really use this a few times a year, so I get the 1oz size. It helps me with maintaining my watercolor brushes' health, effectively removing pigment residues while simultaneously conditioning the bristles, preserving their longevity over countless painting sessions.



Mounted Metal Art Tray

I got two of these for my last birthday and I love love love them. I can see all my brushes at once and no longer have to search for the one I want. I mounted them to my table myself and there are slots for all sized brushes, and even a slot for my phone.





Stand Up Paintbrush Holder

This stand up holder provides an excellent solution for storing and transporting brushes, ensuring they maintain their shape and integrity even when painting on the go.




Rotating Bamboo Organizer

I had this for years until I replaced it with the mounted trays, and now my daughter gets it to have it. I like it for the 360-degree rotation that allowed easy access to all my brushes, and the bamboo construction added a touch of earthy charm to my studio.




Canvas Brush Organizer

If you like to keep a lot of brushes on hand, you need the 30-pocket brush organizer. I had this for many many years when I was an oil painter in my first studio, and I used thumbtacks to mount it to the wall. No matter how many brushes you own, you can roll them up to store and travel with them with ease.
