Hi,

so, i'm a beginner in painting and I like painting small (like really small, pokemon card size /o/ see pic 3, it looks bad I know, it's wip, don't worry, it will look worse later !)

When I use my uh... paintbrush with reservoir (doesn't know if it has a name) for watercolor : no problem

But for some reason i keep destroying my paintbrush with acrylics (see pic 1, the silky pretty one I have almost never used, the two other used to look like that)

Am I doing something wrong ? Are those paintbrush (cheap, Monali, 12 € for 7 of them so I don't have much hope, and always why I'm allowing myself to blame them /o/) just bad quality ? Is it just... normal ?

For comparison, that paintbrush in pic 3 is one that I had since childhood... It saw stuff. Lots of stuffs. But it's still pointy (no idea about the brand).

Is there something that I should do/not do to avoid destroying my paintbrushes ? Any way to save them ?

Thank you in advance for any advice
