No matter how careful I try to be, I always seem to finish a painting session by wearing some of it, most often any blue I am using. The best thing I have ever found for cleaning your hands after oil painting are baby wipes. These pre-moistened little squares will take off almost anything (after all, look at what they are designed to remove!). One wipe is usually enough to clean up my hands, and sometimes the handles of brushes. (I have now idea how paint gets there!) They come in handy little packets which go easily into a painting kit, are ideal for taking out plein air painting. They are also fairly inexpensive and more effective than regular hand wipes.
