What the consumables are. As a noob, you don't look at a metal bike cassette and think "that's going to wear out". Or at a metal 3d printer nozzle. Or at paint brushes (I keep ruining expensive ones! ๐ญ).
Hey! Long time artist here who paints all kinds of things, from metal lawn art to actual paintings. Rule number one- wash your bushes out in cool water, not hot or warm, as hot water can loosen the glue that holds the bristles in. Second get a small tub of brush restorer. A little goes a long way. Once the brush is dry, add a little brush restorer and reshape the tip and bristles. You can use sharp sizzors to clip and stray brush hairs that won't stay in place. And keep paining!
I just do miniature painting, so it's the really tiny detail brushes, keep ruining the tips trying to get into little corners.
Might have a look at the brush restorer.
For fine tip miniature work I have also put cheap hair gel on the brush tip to hold the piont. Milage may vary based on bushtype and technique.
