Jack Richeson - The Ultimate Brush Washer

The Ultimate Brush Washer

Keep brushes suspended while sediment settles below the bristles

Brush bristles last longer when they're not mashed against container bottoms between rinses. This washer suspends brushes above a removable sediment tray, keeping paint debris settled at the bottom while your brushes stay clean and properly shaped. The integrated holder grips brush handles securely, protecting delicate tips from contact damage that gradually ruins their spring and point.

Copper-finished metal construction handles studio use without cracking or warping. The generous 5½-inch opening accommodates multiple brushes simultaneously, while 5-inch depth provides ample water volume for thorough rinsing without constant refills. A fitted cover keeps water clean between sessions and minimizes evaporation during extended projects.

The sediment tray lifts out for easy cleaning, dump accumulated pigment without emptying the entire container. This matters when working through color transitions or switching between light and dark values; fresh water stays available without interrupting your painting rhythm. The system works equally well for watercolor, acrylic, and gouache, maintaining brush quality across techniques while keeping your workspace organized.
