What supplies do I need to begin oil painting?
To start oil painting, you'll need a basic collection of paint colors. If you're on a budget and unsure if oil painting is for you, consider buying black, white, and the primary colors red, blue, and yellow to begin. Other supplies you'll need include brushes in various sizes, a palette for mixing paint, canvas on which to paint, paint solvent and linseed oil to dilute the paint or make it more fluid, oil paint cleaner, and paper towels. An easel is nice to have, though not an absolute must.
What type of brush do painters use with oil paint?
Many oil painters prefer natural hog-bristle paintbrushes to other types. This is because they are stiffer and hold more paint so that you can cover more of the surface at once. However, as you get more into oil painting, you'll find that you'll have your preferences for different projects. You may use a combination of natural brushes, such as hog bristle-types and synthetic brushes.
How long does oil paint typically last?
Oil paint that you have not opened can last 15 years or longer. If you have opened it and stored it properly, it may last 10 years or longer. Some artists report that their oil paints have lasted 30 to 40 years. Storing your oil paints upside down will prevent the oil and pigment from separating.
