Hello

! I need some serious help! I'm having problems with my bushes and I don't know why

. I'm new to painting and I'm not sure how to handle this. I paint with acrylics right now. Sometimes I use them in a watered down state, using watercolor techniques.
First let me start by explaining how I care for my brushes. My brushes are stored lying down in a box my husband made, separated from each other by notches cut in cardboard. When cleaning them I
never leave them sitting in the cleaning well. I use 'EZ Air Environmentally Safe Acrylic Brush Cleaner'.
I am having problems with my synthetic (Golden Taklon) brushes curling at the tip. And the problem with my sable brushes is the hairs are splaying outward. Neither kind of brush is keeping their shape very well

.
I would appreciate any help I can get!!!
Thank you

!!!!
