Hello, and welcome to The Gold Coast Art School channel.

Cleaning brushes of dried paint can be difficult, and super annoying if they're your best brushes! So today we're talking about how to clean painting brushes, both oil paint brushes and acrylic paint brushes, so they last you for many years to come. You can use a solvent for oil paint brushes, such as turpentine, but you can also use other commercial products (or even soap!)

Learning how to keep your brushes clean can take a little practice if you're new to painting. But it's also a simple task that many intermediate and advanced painters tend to ignore. We hope this tutorial helps!

If you'd like to know the brush cleaner used in this video, it's an Australian brand by Chroma, called "Incredible brush cleaner". There are lots of brush cleaners available online.

We would love to share more about art, such as art activities for children, adults and teens, and teach how to use different tools and materials in your artwork. So if you have any suggestions for what you'd like to learn, please let us know in the comments below.

Thank you for watching and supporting our channel,

➤ A little more about The Gold Coast Art School:

Since 1995, we've been teaching creatives how to successfully paint and draw (even when they think they can't!) We have classes for beginners and intermediates, and welcome advanced artists too. Many of our students love coming to our school not only for the depth of knowledge our tutors bring to each session, but for our relaxed and welcoming community feel. Our adult art students usually use oil paints, but we encourage any medium, including acrylics, pastels and watercolours. Check out our social media and website for info, or email/call us any time to chat to Jess and book your spot in our next class!
