Very nice plastic container

I love this special plastic bucket! I use the lid as a stand for the bucket itself. It's because I'm a natural disaster when I reach for my brushes. The blue lid, turned upside down, gives the bucket a great base to stand on straight. The "scraper" side means I don't have to deal with the circulating water at the bottom of the can damaging the brush. The bottom of the washboard is more efficient and gentle. The bristles come out cleaner and faster. If you only fill the bucket to the midline just above the center wall, dirty water on the cleaning side and clean water on the waiting side will not mix. This is one of the BEST features of this item, although they've tried to think of everything. For example, when you take the brush out of the water, you have to rub the edge to squeeze out the overflow. There are 4 slots for this. There are places where you can hold your brushes in all directions in clear water. There are also holes around the edges so you can put the brush in the handle, bristles up first, to let it dry. Palette. So you have almost everything you need in one container when you go to work. Take a separate water bottle with you. Put the paints and anything else you need in a bucket. Insert the brushes into the holes on the sides. It's a big container, but now you have everything in one place! The only downside is that despite the innovation, the material and style of the product screams cheap plastic. But it's not cheap.

Pros
  • This is the perfect accessory for artists of all skill levels as it's an easy way to keep your brushes clean, organized and ready to use. Use a water or solvent based cleaner to remove water, oil or solvent based pigments. Ideal for cleaning watercolors, tempera, gouache, acrylics and oil paints from brushes.
Cons
  • Some bugs
