Okay sure, it’s good advice and all but the problem is I don’t use caution when I’m painting. As I wrote above I’m hard on my brushes and I’d much rather beat the crap out of some cheap brushes than expensive ones…
My paint brushes wont hold their point because of the way I abuse them and as each new brush wears out, it just gets relegated to a lesser task and a new brush replaces it. I’ve done the expensive brush thing in the past and they wound up getting just as messed up as the cheap ones because I am so hard on them and that isn’t about to change.
So to those people who feel they want the best of the best and will love and care for them, by all means buy them up. At the end of the day this is what I do with my cheap brushes, and I’m okay with that.
