Happy painting! ________________________________________________________ How to remove dried acrylic paint from brushes – Can you get acrylics out of brushes once dried? A few tips to consider for painting with acrylics | www.101artists.com QUICK TIP: How to remove dried acrylic paint from brushes – Can it be done? Well, sort of. I’ve done this too many times! I wash my brushes thinking I’ve got them all and low-and-behold I come back to my studio and find one I missed and the paint has dried. 🙁 Unfortunately, once it has really dried, there is little you can do to get it all out. If you find a brush with dried paint that isn’t too dry (less than a few days), then you can try to soak it in some rubbing alcohol. Leave it for a day or three and then see if you can wash it out and pick out the dry paint. It’s a chore, but sometimes you can save the brush. Most of the time, if paint has really taken hold, the brush is a goner. I try to use el cheapo brushes (like these acrylic flat brushes) so if I ruin one, no biggie. Buy a couple sets and then you will always have fresh brushes! My really good brushes (these Mottlers) I always keep track of. These are pricey, but my favorites – they work incredibly well for laying down super smooth coats and for finishing (glazing and varnishing). Will a professional brush cleaner work?
