Hey everyone - i just want to show you what i have bought for using oil paints - i am going to do a video tutorial for it, & one of the things i am going to show is how to use oils for recess painting.

- I have bought 2 winsor & newton artist oil paints - a black (mars black) & burnt umber. You can get these at the most local paint & hobby shops ( as i did ), but can ofcourse also get them online a lot of places. I have furthermore bought some cheap brushes, from a local hobby store. Both some small sizes with sharp tips, for recess shading & some larger flat headed ones - these are for blending. The reason why i bought these, is that the oil paints can ruin sable haired brushes - so i wouldnt recommend you to use the ones you use for acrylic paints.

- I have furthermore bought a aluminium palette, for having the oil paint mixes in. This was also very cheap, and its from AK interactive

- The last thing you need, is white spirits. I have bought some oderless white spirits at a local supermarket. Be aware of the fumes from the white spirits - you dont want to sit too many hours close to it, as you can get a headache - if possible, open some window close to where you are using it ! :D More information will come about this when i am going to do the video tutorial.

So, that is what i would recommend you to get, if you want to start working with oil paints. As mentioned there will be video tutorials for using these, so stay tuned guys!
