I do a lot of painting and teaching painting. I clean brushes with soap and water or clothes washing powder made into a wet paste. Cleaning is easier if the brushes are rubbed into a rag first.
Artists oil paint is made of pigment with linseed or sunflower oil. If you got linseed oil on your hands in the kitchen you would just clean it off with soap and water. Soap surrounds the oil and pigment with a slippery coating. This is a low effort and less toxic studio practice.
If the paint on the paint brush is still wet, you could just put it under some water from a tap until all the paint comes off. If the paint is dry and won't come out easily you could leave the brush in a bowl of very hot water and hopefully the paint will soon melt off.
In turpintine Your best bet would be to soak the brushes in "mineral spirits" overnight, then rinse with mineral spirits the next day
Mineral spirits is the most common way. If your desperate you can use anything oil based, veg. oil, baby oil........
I stand my brushes in a can wit 2-3 inches of thinner for a couple of hours, then wash them in warm soapy water,
No. There are special brushes for oil based paint.
The usual: oil paint and canvas. And brushes.

It may work as gasoline is powerful, but its not ideal. Try linseed oil.
Because soap and water are NOT oil based. Oil based means you need to use an oil-based thinner to clean brushes and spills. The materials used in oil-based paints are not soluble in water, even with the added surfactant effect of soaps. (Some paint may come off hands as the soap loosens the dead outer layer of the skin.)

Oil based paint is not water soluble and so needs paint thinner to clean the brushes etc.
When The Paint Is Not Oil Based. example: Latex Paint!
he used oil paints on canvas and paint brushes

Natural bristle brushes are best when working with oil based paints.

Unfortunately combining oil and water in paint always results in disaster. Oil based paints must be thinned with solvent. Brushes used to paint oil based paints also need to be cleaned with solvent.

Mineral spirits or turpentine (oid). Use the first. You can get an odorless product. This suggestion is for your brushes.
