Once you've been dry brushing for a while, the paint on the bristles literally dries, and no amount of wiggling the brush in your water pot gets rid of it.

Is there an efficient way to clean your brush after drybrushing? i have to get the paint stripper out and soak the brush in that, but its a bit of a pain to do after everytime i drybrush.
cheers

Brush soap should do pretty well for you.

Just regular soap and warm water. Water with a tiiiiny drop of isopropyl. MiG acrylic airbrush thinner (haven't tried with others)

I use really damn cheap brushes for my dry brushing ($3 for 15 brushes) so I generally don't clean them properly, too much hassle

That said, when I do need to clean one properly good old soap and water always does the trick. Isopropyl will work in theory but I've never tried.

Don't drybrush for a while. Wash it before it gets too claggy, and have one or two brushes in reserve while it dries.

Normally I just wash my brushes with a bit of soap that I have sitting in my palette. But after drybrushing it gets a little bit trickier, so I just go in to the bathroom and wash it in soap but under running water as well to make life a bit easier.

Thanks guys.
