Cleaning your Brayers
Quick Tip Tuesday: Here’s a practical tip to take better care of your tools (and your sanity).

I’ll admit it—I let paint build up on my brayers. I actually like the layers of color that form over time, but eventually little bits of dried paint start to make the surface a little too rough, and that’s when I know it’s time for a good cleaning.

This one’s been on my YouTube channel for a while, so some of you might’ve already seen it—but it’s still one of my most-viewed quick tips for a reason!

(And if you’re outside the U.S., an Australian follower shared a great alternative: try O’Cedar Clean & Shine Timber Floor Cleaner instead of Murphy Concentrated Wood Cleaner—it can be easier to find and a bit more affordable.)

Hey, reruns aren’t so bad, right? Who hasn’t rewatched a favorite show a few times? 😉

Happy cleaning (when you need it)!

I’m Diana, the artist behind Crooked Little Studio. I teach playful ways to use random colors and materials to unlock creativity. You can find more inspiration here.

Meet Diana Garrison

I am a teaching artist who helps creative people like you explore techniques and develop practical skills so you can freely express your creativity and unlock your potential.

Until my retirement at the end of May 2024, I had been teaching K-12 students - for over 20 years - how to execute various art techniques and how to appreciate and talk about the visual arts; and I have been doing all this online for the past ten years. And now I am teaching online courses as well as adult workshops in my home studio, at local venues, and as a guest teacher in other locations.

The creative process is an amazing thing! As I explore my own art-making, I develop new styles and techniques along the way. I love to share that knowledge with others so they can benefit from what I've learned.

I offer tips, tricks, and insights in occasional newsletters for my email subscribers; I create free and paid resources and tools, and I am building a collection of online courses. I am always open to ideas for new things to share.

Won't you join me on this creative journey?

Cheers! 
Diana
