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.
Materials and Techniques. Painters use a number of materials to produce the effects they desire. These include the materials of the surface, or ground; the pigments employed; the binder, or medium, in which the color is mixed; and its diluting agent. Among the various media used by artists are frescofresco. [Ital.,=fresh], in its pure form the art of painting upon damp, fresh, lime plaster.
