The cleaning techniques that I use in this video are the ones that I use every single day to keep my airbrushes perfectly clean. The process is incredible simple, fast, and effective. It's basically about using lots of water to flush out the acrylic paint from the cup and within the airbrush, followed by some cleaner to remove any residual or dried paint. Even if there is some dried paint in the color cup at the end of the day, it is very easy to remove with some airbrush cleaner since the paint hasn't cured yet. Keeping an airbrush clean is all about not allowing paint to dry within the airbrush, so keep on top of it! It only takes a minute or two at the end of a painting session, so don't be afraid to use lots of water to make sure everything is flushed out. Best of luck in your painting!
