Painting medium:

Bar of soap (ie. lava),

rags or good quality paper towels (blue automotive towels are great)

Solvent: odor-free solvent such as Gamsol or Turpenoid, and a jar with a lid or other container/brush cleaning container for solvent.  

If you prefer to be solvent free –baby oil or safflower oil can be used for clean-up.
