How do I get paint off my brush so I can use another color? :(?

Question

I'm using everything recommended but it takes forever to clean off my brush so I can use it to paint another color. Please help.

Using only one brush is not a general practice. Cleaning a brush each time you change colors is going slow you down a lot. I use atleast 5 brushes while working a painting, and only use the same brush for like colors. Having atleast one brush for only white is essential. When changing colors to a like color with the same brush I just have a folded up paper towel to wipe off some of the paint and sometimes dip it in some linseed oil to help wipe it off. If you use the same brush for too many colors you are more likely to turn your painting gray. Get some more brushes.
