Painting oil will inevitably encounter many problems, of which the common problem is probably how to clean the oil painting pen.

1. For frequently used pens:

For example, if today's painting is not finished, it will continue tomorrow.

First, use a clean tissue to remove the excess paint from the pen.

Then hover the pen in turpentine and soak it until you need to use it. Take out the pen and dry it or wipe it dry, then you can continue to use it.

Hover:

It is necessary to cooperate with the pen washer to clamp the pen holder on the square like spring. The brush hair shall not touch the wall and bottom of the barrel to avoid deformation.

This method is used to keep the brush hair wet and avoid paint consolidation and damage to the brush hair. Therefore, it is doomed to be unclean. Please

 remember the corresponding color of each pen when you use it next time to avoid the mixed color and dirty color caused by the residual paint of the brush hair.

2. For pens that are not used for a long time or need to be cleaned thoroughly:

For example, when the painting reaches here, it needs to wait until it is completely dry, and then it needs to be covered and dyed, which takes about a month.

 What about the pen? Or, this layer of the painting is just like this. Now that the task of this pen is finished, I want to clean it thoroughly and then dry it for

 preservation or other purposes. What should I do?

The recommended method is to first wipe the excess pigment with a clean paper towel, then wash it once with turpentine, take it out and wipe it clean

Then wash it with turpentine for a second time, take it out and wipe it clean. Until the turpentine does not change color when washing and the cloth or paper

 towel used to wipe the pen does not change color.

Then you need to wash the brush soap, pour it into the white porcelain wash basin with hot water (not boiling, it will be hot if you touch it with your hand), rinse

 the pen in it, take it out, draw it on the surface of the brush soap and dip it in the soap, then gently tap the water, rub it on the white porcelain, pay attention

 to press the pen a little harder to make the brush hair unfold completely in a pie shape (do you think it is hot or not) Need to destroy the pen? But if the

 washing is not clean, the pigment will become more ruined. You will notice that some bubbles will appear. Then rinse the pen, rinse with the pen and bring

 water to wipe the foam on the wall of the sink, then rub it in the soap again and again until the bubbles appear white, without the color of the paint. Then rinse

 the soap thoroughly, remove the wall, and use the clean toilet paper to roll up the pen and dry it.

Be sure to use a brush soap:

Be sure to use a brush soap instead of a casual soap. It's not good for hair. Because the hair of the pen can also be understood as the hair of other animals. Like human beings, it also needs to be well maintained. The brush washing soap is equivalent to a shampoo integrated with shampoo and care. Recommend Leonardo da Vinci's brush soap. It's cheap and effective, about ¥ 40.

Use the roll lightly:

When using the paper roll, just wrap it gently. Don't roll it tightly like a small foot. When you open it again, you will find that the hair is rolled into a Longinus gun by you.

In this way, you can get the same brush as the new one after washing. The brush hair is extremely smooth and keeps the original color of the brush hair.

How to clean the palette

The palette doesn't need to be cleaned too carefully. When it needs to be cleaned, you only need to use a knife with a round head (don't use the sharp one, then scratch the palette, and you will eat cadmium yellow to thank you) to scrape the redundant formed paint, and then the remaining thin paint film can be wiped with turpentine with a paper towel. You'll find it's not clean, but it's not necessary.

One wash is not clean, the next time when the paint encountered the last residual pigment mix color how to do?

When your paint is squeezed on the palette, it is not irregular, but regular. The color is roughly squeezed everywhere every time, and then the relatively light color in the color is to the right and the dark color is to the left. In this way, the upper right corner of the palette is the lead white, zinc white and white area, and the upper left corner is the dark black, ivory and black area. This is a good habit and is good for color matching.
