Finishing one painting and starting another, I like to clean off my palette and clean all my brushes. I'm the worst at brush maintenance, every time I do a big clean, I tell myself I'm going to be better at the whole cleaning thing and not leave my brushes in turps overnight(s).
But atlas, I'm finding myself having to do the big brush clean again. The brushes are not all that bad, no dried paint in the hairs which I was expecting. I put them in warm water and vinegar and added some bi-carb Soda. They are soaking at the moment and I'll clean rinse them in 30 mins or so.
