Input (English): [header] How to clean oil paint brushes [title] Remove excess paint. [step] Use your cleaning rags or similar material. Wrap it around the metal where the bristles connect with the brush (known as a " ferrule "). <sep> (A) The brushing action will suck most of the paint out. Let the paint sit undisturbed in a room for a while. (B) Squeeze with moderate pressure so the paint is pushed out of bristles at end of stroke/bristles, and try roughly to mimic the shape of the brush at the end of wiping the excess paint off. Point the tip of the brush over your dropcloth (or whatever you're using to protect your surfaces) to catch the paint as you remove it. (C) Secure the inside with another rag, then wipe away any excess paint using clean rags or cotton gauze. [substeps] Consider taping the bristles together and covering them with a fine film (cotton gauze or paper towel work great). (D) Alternatively, if you don't own a cleaning rag, lay out blotting paper and the bristles of a paper towel in this manner. [substeps] Quickly change paper towels periodically if the oil paint object becomes saturated in paint.
