Artist Brush Cleaning and Use

I don't use my good oil painting brushes for acrylic. I keep them just for oils, which I clean in white spirit*. The sediment settles after a few days, and the clean spirit pours off carefully into another jar.

For acrylics, I use cheaper brushes. These, of course, are cleaned in water.

*Mineral spirits or paraffin based solvent.
