Oil Painting Beautiful
Oil Painting advice anyone?

I recently bought a beautiful easel for painting. What's the best oil paint to use and what type of paper?

Windsor & Newton make excellent oil colors. For a beginner, I would recomment Winton oil colors (A cheaper, student grade oil paint made by Windsor & Newton.) You will also need odorless mineral spirits (such as turpenoid) to thin the paint and clean up when you are done. I would also recommend buying some "liquin" oil medium--it make the paint dry much faster, and won't make it runny like too much turpenoid can.

As far as paper, you actually can use oil paints on any heavy paper (such as bristol board.) You will probably want to coat the paper with a thin layer of acrylic gesso before you begin to keep the paint from soaking through the paper(note: do NOT use your oil brushes with gesso, it will ruin them! a cheap house-paint brush works just fine.) Personally, I love the feeling of painting oil on canvas, and I recommend that you at least experiment with a few different surfaces to find what works for you. If you buy pre-stretched canvas, you won't need to gesso it, so that is one less thing you have to buy.) You can also buy masonite board from a hardware store to paint on. It can be much cheaper than canvas, but you will need to use gesso on it before you paint.

Good luck experimenting!
