Acrylic paints dry very quickly. Do not let paint dry on the brush.
The moment you finish painting, with the brush, rinse it off under running water.
If you cannot get to a faucet right away, wipe off the paint with a clean rag and swirl it around in clean water.
Put the brush in clean water for as short a time as possible. It is not good for the brush to have the weight of the handle pushing down on the bristles.
If you want to use the brush right away for more painting, rinse it off under running water, squeeze out the water and reshape it with your fingers.
If you are using oil paints, wipe off the paint on a rag and swirl it around in turpinetine or special cleaners sold for cleaning oil paints
