If you think there's not much to cleaning a paintbrush...think again! Rajiv painted the trim and walls of his entire apartment with brushes. He uses paintbrushes for both watercolor and oil painting and has invested in the best quality brushes for the job. Knowing how to properly clean a paintbrush will extend the life of these tools. To date, Rajiv has never thrown away a brush, even after they've been used many times over the years.
