It is very important to clean the brushes when applying different colors and after you finish painting. Painting with oil paints can make you chaos in the studio. Hold the swabs and old clothes at your fingertips to remove excess paint and turpentine from brushes.
After you are sure that the brushes are clean, let them dry in an open space in a jar or glass, with a handle downwards.
If you get a lot of color on the palette, after you've finished painting, save it for the next time. It is best to assemble the color into small jars.
Oil colors are famous because it takes them a long time to completely dry. It may take more than three months, especially if you have applied a lot of thick layers of paint. Leave the painting where you are sure that nobody will damage it, and where there is air circulation.
After the color is completely dried, add a layer of varnish to protect your artwork and preserve the vibrancy of colors. When it's dry, you're done! The last thing you have to do is put your masterpiece in a visible place, which will all admire.
