+1 on this. Rinse the brush well. Then shake out all excess water. Then dry the brush on a clean towel. That removes additional water and also separates the hairs/bristles of the brush so they dry more easily.

Due to capillary action, water water will always try to migrate to the area where the bristles are closest together; that means the base of the knot. Thus, that will be the last place to dry. If the brush is left standing upwards, you will have both capillary action and gravity drawing water to the base. Thus, I like to hang my brushes upside down for 24 hours after use. At least gravity is now working for you. After 24 hours, the brush is dry enough to stand up on the shelf.
