Clean coat used by artist (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wash

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'clean' is the first definition.
(washing is a kind of cleaning)

'coat used by artist' is the second definition.
'wash' can be an answer for 'coat' (thesaurus). I'm not certain of the 'used by artist' bit.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for wash that I've seen before include "Bathe" , "Stand up" , "Clean oneself" , "Of animals, cleanse by licking" , "shower" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
