How do I clean brushes used with acrylic paint?
To keep your brushes in the best condition, make sure you clean them as soon as you are done using them.
Remove the paint from the brush by using it on a kitchen towel or similar.
As acrylic paint is water based, you then simply need to agitate the brush in a cup of water. Do not leave it too long and wipe it between dips to remove as much paint as you can.
It is a good idea to change the water after a few dips and try again: if the water stays clear, it means your brush is clean.
All that remains is to store it in a dry place.
