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.

Best Answer: Since you'll be working on canvas, you will need to use a paint that is flexible after the painting is dry. That leaves you two choices: oil paint and acrylic paint.
