Hey, I'm painting with oil paints for the first time today. When you're finished with the painting, you use turpentine.
But if I just want to clean my brush in between applying a new color, is water enough or do I need to use turpentine as well?

Loading...I wanted to start a product, and I'm convinced I could carve soccer players out of wood—be it just the head or the entire body. That means I would work with a wood technician and wood manufacturer to create these wooden soccer players together. There's a lot more that can be planned and marketed, but…
I just started diamond painting, and now the stones aren't sticking to the pen, despite the glue. What can I do? Silvia
And what do you think of the drawing? I think I've posted the drawing before, but now I want to know if it looks more like a husky or a wolf.
Hello, Is that mold on the brush or would you say it's makeup residue?
It is located in Sellin on Rügen
Took the wrong picture earlier
Water cannot come into contact with oil colours. There are these water-dilutable oil colours, of which I do not think anything. If you want to paint with a brush with a different color, take a kitchen towel and strip it off. This is usually enough unless you take strongly contrasting colors, such as white or black.
Tip for cleaning your brush so that they last forever: first strip the color on kitchen paper, then immerse it in turpentine and squeeze it and strip it off on kitchen paper. then with Core soap and wash water thoroughly. Then straighten your fingers and let the air dry. So keep your brush half an eternity. (The core soap cleanses and maintains)
PS. I’ve been painting in oil for 50 years.
Thank you!
Sure.
I have never used turpentine or turpentine substitutes – so you ruin the brush.
soap, cold water and two healthy hands. after each session the brush completely wash out.
btw – stick with water and clump the brush.
Oil paints cannot be washed out with water.
if you use the normal cheap brush, just throw it away when they get tough.
and in no case stay in a room for longer or even sleep in which oil paintings dry – this is highly harmful to health.
With water, of course, you do not reach anything because oil and water do not mix. It’s just gonna blow.

So I just do my brush in turpentine and then go into the new color with it?
The first thing would be to get a second brush if you really need a completely new color;-) so pure not to interrupt the workflow.
Or maybe even several.
And then maybe look at the old Bob-Ross videos in detail and pick up a little basic technique.
You don’t need 30 distinct colors at all when painting. The interesting thing about painting with oil colors is just mixing on the pallet. That is why one also speaks of typical “pallets” of certain artists, in places to different eras, as well as of the colour palettes of certain images.
That’s why I tell you, Bob Ross.
10 brushes in different shapes and sizes. I don’t buy myself 30 times the same brush for 30 colors that is quatsch.
Oil paints are never washed out by water.

Tunken won’t be enough. Brush want to be carefully washed out in several courses and nobody would use the same brush first dark colors or black, then bright yellow. For this you take different brushes!
