How To Clean Oil Paintbrushes
Having to thoroughly clean your brushes after every session can be a real hassle, especially if you paint often. If you plan on painting again within the next few days, then you can do the following to care for your brushes:
Give your brushes a general wipe down to remove much of the excess paint.
Dip the tip of your brushes in a slow drying oil such as Safflower Oil or an artist grade poppyseed oil. These are slower drying than the more popular linseed oil.
Rest the brushes on a drying rack.
When it comes time to use the paintbrushes again in your next session, simply give them a wipe down and they are good to go.
Do not worry much about any leftover paint from the previous session. It should not be enough to significantly change the tone of your colours (unless you are trying to paint something with a pure colour straight from the tube, in which case you will probably need a thoroughly cleaned brush).
This cleaning process is only suitable if you plan on using your brushes again in the next few days after your painting session. If you do not end up painting as expected within a few days, then you will need to take the more thorough cleaning approach, as the oil on your brushes will eventually dry and harden the bristles.
Thorough Brush Clean:
Step 1: Rid your paintbrushes of as much excess oil paint as possible
The first step is to rid as much excess oil paint from your brushes as possible. First, put some Solvent / Paint Thinner in a cup or jar and rinse your brushes briefly through it. Then gently wipe them down using paper towels.
After wiping down your brushes, give them a rinse in warm water then repeat the process until the bulk of the paint has been removed.
You do not need to remove all the paint at this stage, just the bulk of it.
Step 2: Break down the remaining oil paint
There will still be a lot of paint in your brushes, even though it may not be clearly evident. The paint will be sitting deep in the bristles and if this dries, then the bristles will harden and become almost unusable.
First, take your brushes and rinse them again in your paint thinner. Then take the brushes and individually work them on your bar of soap. This will create a lather that will get deep into the bristles. You should see colour bleed into the soap.
Make sure when you are working the brushes on the soap that you are not pushing the bristles into the soap, as this will damage them. Instead, you want to work in a pulling motion.
Then rinse the brushes thoroughly in warm water and repeat this process until there is no more colour bleeding into the soap.
If you have used strong colours (like burnt umber or phthalo blue) then you may need to incorporate an oil paint brush cleaner into the rotation as they will break down the oil paint.
Step 3: Resting the brushes
Now that your brushes are clean, you should mold the tip into a neat edge and rest the brushes inverted in a brush holder. Never rest your brushes with the bristles folded against anything, as this will cause permanent damage.
