To get dried oil paint off a brush [with natural hairs], soak it in nail-polish remover for a minute or two, after that you wipe off what remains and clean your brushes with soap and water as usual. Remember that nail-polish remover is basically the same as laquer thinner sold in hardware stores and can melt the glue that holds the fibers and will melt synthetic brush hairs.
