Supplies You Need to Paint with Oil Paints
Oil paints are very different than your typical acrylic or watercolor paints. Not only are they more durable, but they also allow for slow drying which is advantageous for many professional painters. The delay basically provides more time for the artist to continue working with the paint while their visions slowly come at them piece by piece. Corrections can easily be made as long as the paint is still wet. The best part about oil paints is their lasting quality. Once it’s dry, your painting can live far past your lifetime.
So what do you need to get started in oil painting? Well, good quality brushes are a must. If you are not sure about yours, buy new ones. And when you use them be sure to properly clean them with warm water and soap after each use. This will keep the hairs in tact and reliable for future projects. There is a wide range or painter brushes to choose from with just as many brand names. Typically, an artist will only find their perfect brush through experimenting and using a wide variety of brushes. Gesso should be applied before any painting surface before applied with oil paints. It can easily be brushed on using specific brushes. Gesso is basically a primer that helps the paint stick to the surface and enables a longer lasting effect. Before you apply oil paints over the gesso, be sure it is completely dry or you will damage your new brushes.
Oil painters usually paint on canvas, it is for the most part a favorite. However, there are plenty of other painting surfaces to choose from. Two other popular materials to paint on are wood or masonite. Masonite is a great surface for oil paints, it holds well and it will sometimes outlast a canvas. Either way, a painting easel is a necessity for any true painter. Whether you’re painting on a block of wood or on canvas paper, you should keep your working plane vertical, solid, and consistent. Whatever you do, get an easel that is collapsible and/or adjustable so that all your projects can be worked on with ease.
*Note that oil paint is not water soluable. That means you will have to purchase additional chemicals in order to wash your brushes effectively. The most common type of oil paint remover is any type of lindseed oil.
