Bill Martin's Guide to Oil Painting
OIL PAINTING MATERIALS
To get started you need oil paints, brushes, a place to mix your colors, a tool to mix them with and a surface to paint on. Plus you want a way to clean up. The ingredients are easy to find and you don’t need a lot of them. You can do a lot with a little. Good brushes and good paints are easier to use and go farther than the cheap ones.
