Through his unique approach to watercolor and acrylic painting and his proven method of teaching others his trade, Frank has introduced thousands of people to the joys of leisure painting. The foundation of Frank's series is his HSMF formula: simplifying pictures into parts - Horizon, Sky, Middle, Foreground - to be tackled one at a time.

[Jazzwayze]

You can soak the brushes in water and leave them until the end of your session. Keeps them supple, Then take them out and clean them properly. If you use turps based oils, then do the same thing with turps, washing the brushes after their soak, in warm soapy water when you finish painting. Just don't leave them for ever!
