Can the paintings be fixed?

 

Yes of course, that's one of the beauties of oil paints its the most forgiving of all the mediums and its very easy to go back and to fix anything. 

 

Alright, as far as using the turp to clean the brushes. You know i'd say don't do that and at times you use up to a dozen brushes. Well, at the end of the day i still clean my brushes in turp. 

 

My strategy, that i think works pretty good, and its probably different than what i have in my video so what i'll do is i wash all my brushes in turpentine, oderless turp is what i use turpenoid, and then i let it sit for like 20 minutes or so. The reason i do that is i want the turpentine to go up into the ferrule, which is the middle part of the brush, and kind of dissolve any paint that got up in that area and kind of allow that to break in. 

 

So then after 20 minutes i come back and switch it around in my turp again and then i wipe off the brush and then i swirl it around in this other stuff called turpenoid natural, it comes in a green can and it smells like oranges its made from those same stuff as all those orange cleaners right.

 

I swirl it around in that and then again let it sit for 15 to 20 minutes if i can then once that done i wipe it off swirl it all around again wipe it off and then i just take in and wash it off with warm water, basically just rinse it out at that point, and that works really well! 

 

It is kind of a hassle to do a bunch of brushes so you don't just mindlessly grab a brush that's what i recommend for that. Instead, if you need a different brush for a different size you go get it!
