How do you care and clean for oil paint brushes?

turpenoid(odorless turpentine)


linseed oil... get a coffe can and a tuna can(empty dry clean)


poke holes through the bottom of the tuna can w/ a hammer and nail an any perishable surface.


place the holed tuna canupside down in the coffee can and proceed to fill w/ turpen. This device helps remove debris from the brush that will sink to the bottom and concerve your clean turpen. When free of debris., rinse w/shampoo and conditioner them...before next use start w/ thinner This could make dollar store brushes last foreverHow do you care and clean for oil paint brushes?
rinse it in turpentineHow do you care and clean for oil paint brushes?
My mom always had turpentine and rags around. Dipping and twirling in the turpentine and wiping across the rag until clear.
I use a can of safflower oil to rinse a brush while painting and use of a brush. At the end of the day, Ill swish it in a jar of mineral spirits and lather it up with some brush soap which conditions and cleans the brush. (I think ts called master's brush cleaner. lil tub)
I use baby oil and simple green.
