Thanks Catherine for your tips on brush types and brush care. I've been buying lots of soft synthetic hair brushes and it seems that after four or five days of painting I need new ones because they're all splayed out! (Of course I do mash them around in a turps jar -- I'll stop doing that and try the warm-soap-and-water you suggested.)

I've got a question for you and others: do you really feel that higher quality brushes last long enough to make them worth the investment? Will a $10 brush really last more than three times longer than a $3.30 brush if cared for in the same way?
Thanks!
