*If you get new brushes, wash out the sizing new brushes are treated with before using. This will improve their performance wonderfully!
Use cool water (not warm) and dish soap a day (preferably) before class, shake out excess water, shape the wet bristles with your fingers, and allow to dry flat (not vertically.)

**If you must use a paper palette, try to find grey, not white. Much easier to judge color and value on a non-white surface.
