Okay. No more excuses to not paint with oil paints. Here is the quick, easy way (less time and healthy too!) to clean your brushes after you are done painting. A picture paints a thousand words: Jar #1: 100% Coconut Oil. Jar#2: 50% Coconut Oil, 50% Laundry Detergent you use to wash your clothes. Jar #3: 50% Laundry Detergent, 50% Water. 1. Swish the brushes in each jar (my jars have metal grates in them) by using jar #1, #2, and then #3. 2, After you feel like all of the paint is no longer being pressed out of the brush in jar #3: 3. Rinse the brush with water in the sink. If need be; use a quick amount of brush cleaning soap to put life back into the brush. Hopefully it has a conditioner in it to keep the brushes soft. That is it! It took me seven minutes to clean the eight brushes pictured above. And, the oil did not get all over the place because the cleaning happened inside of the jars. Nice!
