To clean you will need a solvent liquid. Which solvent to use depends of the medium of your color. For water based colors like acrylics some water in a glass will be fine. If you are using oils or enamels you will need a special thinner. Usually this is a turpentine replacement.
Independent of the solvent, the cleaning process is basically the same. Take care that the paint never dries on your brush. Dip the tip of your brush into the solvent and swirl it around. Then you gently push the head of the brush sidewards against the glass. There you start to turn your brush slowly back and forth while pulling it up, following the natural direction of the hair, to get the paint away from the ferule. Don't slam the point down on the bottom of the glass. This will ruin your best brush. If the brush stops to produce a cloud of color, take it out and pull it over a clean paper towel. If this leaves some paint on the paper, go back and repeat the last step. Finally you should squeeze out remaining liquid and give the brush back its original shape. This can be done while pulling and turning the brush over the towel, with your fingers or by using your wet lips. Warning ! Brush licking is basically a bad habit. Never ever do this with brushes used for oils or enamels. These paints are toxic. Only do this if the used water color is non-toxic and the brush is completely clean. I am not responsible for any ill effects caused by any brush licking you do.
The above cleaning process is what you do all the time while painting. When you have finished your painting session you should thoroughly clean all your brushes - always! You additionally can clean your brushes with lukewarm water and curd soap (or special brush soap). If you have some dried paint left on your brushes use a special brush cleaner and conditioner like orange terpene. This will dissolve the paint but also give the brush back some of its natural fats and spring. I don't recommend acetone or dish washing soap for brush cleaning. These will clean the brush but also remove the natural fats, make the brush brittle and eventually ruin it. Also you should avoid getting solvent on the handle. This will destroy the lacquer of the handle and can cause the handle to come lose the ferule.
