Storing brushes in a bag with safflower oil

Maybe others already use this but just in case, I have been protecting my brushes by keeping them in a plastic bag with a small amount of safflower oil. If there is any paint left in the brush, it stays soft for the next time I use them. The oil wipes off easily.

Such a cool hack!!
Thank you for sharing.:heart:

I know other artists that do that too… I have a “well” of safflower oil in a small plastic paint tray that I set my brushes in at an angle. I then wipe off and store flat.
