Joan:
Let me praise my air filter to the STARS!!! It is a really great addition to any artists environment - it filters not only dust, but likely grabs up floating particles of charcoal (if you use it), vapors from turp and other solvents (if you use them), etc. Not to mention the cat hairs. I have a HEPA filter that also ionizes the air.
Karin: Your idea of a tack cloth is great, thanks. I also use those blue automotive towels - they absorb a lot of paint without soaking through. I fold one in 1/4s and can use it for two days to wipe my brushes on.
