How do you clean artists paint brushes when they paint with oil paint?

My son got a whole Art Studio with paints, brushes, easel and canvases. He is using the oil paints and we can't figure out what to use to clean the brushes; soap and water isn't working.

It is because oil and water don't mix.

You have to use a solvent for oil to clean the brushes. Turpentine or mineral spirits. Pour some into a lidded jar or can, rinse the brushes thoroughly in it, wipe the brushes, then clean with soap and water.

Put the lid on the turpentine jar, and keep to re-use (the paint solids will settle to the bottom; eventually, when there are too many solids, you'll pour off the clean mineral spirits into a new jar or can, and dispose of the old one.)
