Would I ruin Winsor and Newton Series 7 Watercolor brushes if I use them with oil paint???
I am planning to use Winsor and Newton Series 7 Watercolor brushes with oil paint. Some internet sites say that the strong solvents will damage the brush but others say that there will be no harm if I clean them thoroughly.
They are the finest kolinsky brushes and I am worried about ruining them. Which one can I trust? Has anyone ever tried Series 7 with oil paint???
P.S. I know that there are different types of brushes (red sable, flick, bristle and synthetic) but I am specifically asking about Winsor and Newton Series 7.
Agree with Mia. My watercolor teachers both told me that if you use watercolor brushes to paint oils in, the solvents that have to be used to clean the brushes will render them unusable for watercolor again. The solvents take the outer cuticle of the hair off, or close the hair cuticle completely, so that it cannot expand again. The opening of the hair cuticle in watercolor brushes is what gives them their water carrying capacity. You will ruin that with the solvents.
I have to wonder why you would want to use watercolor brushes for oils? If you bought the brushes yourself, you know the price of them. If you didn't buy them yourself, you need to know that the FINEST Kolinsky sable brushes run in the hundreds of dollars for just one large brush.
I just opened the sale catalog from one of the art houses I buy supplies from online: Cheap Joe's Art Stuff. The catalog lists Series 7 W&N Limited Edition pure Kolinsky sable Size 12 brushes ON SALE for $141.79US. When paying full retail price, it is listed as $465.00US. Why would you want to take the chance of ruining a brush set that expensive?
