Drying oil paint brushes is a common practice in many artists’ studios. It is important to clean them regularly to prevent the paint from becoming dirty and smudged. Here are some tips on how to clean dried oil paint brushes:

  1. Use a soft cloth to dry the brush.
  2. Rub the cloth around the bristles of the brush, making sure to get all of the oil paint off of them.
  3. Place the brush in a bowl or jar filled with water and let it soak for 30 minutes.
  4. Remove the brush from the water and dry it off using a paper towel or air-drying rack.
  5. Place the brush in a plastic bag and seal it shut with another paper towel or air-drying rack so that it can’t be used again for at least six months.
