How to Make a Paint Brush Cleaner

February 07, 2020 in Oil Paintings, YouTube Tutorials, YouTube Videos, Tutorials

I've got a super simple artist hack to help you make a cleaner for your paint brushes out of an old wire clothes hanger and a glass jar. I use mine in my transportable oil painting kit, so I have solvent in mine, but you can use them for really any kind of paint.

The art store wants to charge you $15-22 for a piece of war in a jar, but we're not going to play that game ;)

Happy twisting!

Materials

  • wire clothes hanger

  • glass jar

  • pliers

  • wire snips

  • eye protection

PS. If you need to grab some oil painting thinner and you want to support lil Birdie's artistic journey, any purchase thru my special links helps my YouTube channel thrive. Thank you!
