So you've got a brand new set of watercolor brushes, but you aren't sure how to prepare them for their first painting.  Fear not, I'll show you how to easily get those brushes in fighting condition with simple materials found in everyone's bathrooms!   Brushes come with a stiff coating to protect them while they're in transit from the company to the store to your home, but you can't start painting until you've removed it.   I'm prepping some very cheap brushes, but this technique works for all sorts of brushes, from cheap to expensive, watercolor to acrylic.
